Marriott International, Inc. has expanded its joint venture with AC Hotels by opening two new properties⎯⎯the AC Hotel Nice on the French Riviera and the AC Hotel Sant Cugat in Barcelona.
Following extensive renovations, the 143-room AC Hotel Nice opened earlier this month as the second AC Hotel by Marriott in France. The hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and features a panoramic terrace with a heated swimming pool, as well as a Zen garden. In addition to 22 suites, the AC Hotel Nice offers three conference and banqueting rooms⎯⎯accommodating up to 100 guests.
Located in the business area of Sant Joan, Spain, the AC Hotel Sant Cugat boasts 148 rooms, four suites, and nine meeting rooms. Guestrooms are swathed in chocolate brown and white tones.
“We are delighted to be developing the presence of AC Hotels by Marriott in France and across Europe with these two exciting new openings in such current locations,” says Amy McPherson, president and managing director for Marriott International in Europe. “Nice and Sant Cugat del Valles are popular destinations for both business and leisure travelers and fit perfectly with the brand’s associated modern comfort and urban style.”
The new hotels join more than 80 existing AC Hotels by Marriott throughout France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Another French property⎯⎯AC Hotel Paris Porte Maillot⎯⎯is set to open in early 2014.
