Rockbridge and TPG Hospitality announced a joint venture to develop and operate the AC Hotel in San Jose, California, the first AC Hotels by Marriott in California.
“Rockbridge knows the demands of Millennials and other sophisticated travelers and will respond in the strategy and execution on this great hotel,” says Rockbridge president and CEO Jim Merkel. “The AC Hotels by Marriott brand is a sleek, modern brand with an urban approach to design and it’s a perfect fit in one of the hottest work-live-play hubs in the country.”
With a projected opening in spring 2016, the hotel will include 210 guestrooms, a bar and lounge with signature cocktails, a 900-square foot fitness center, an open-air pool and courtyard, meeting space, and two high-tech breakout rooms.
“TPG’s continued expansion efforts include the development and operational management of lifestyle-oriented, focused-service products,” said Paul Sacco, TPG Hospitality’s chief development officer. “The new AC Hotel in San Jose will deliver an ideal guest experience to complement the energy, technology, and character of the market.”
The property will be the first LEED Gold Certified hotel in San Jose, providing environmental and operational efficiencies.Â
