Downtown Orlando will get its first lifestyle hotel when the AC Hotel Orlando Downtown opens Jan. 12, 2021.
Spread across eight floors of Orlando’s SunTrust Plaza Building, the 180-room hotel will feature a European aesthetic in line with AC Hotels’ signature design. The design incorporates clean lines, sleek furnishings, hardwood floors, ambient lighting, open closet systems and unique artwork.
Situated on the southwestern corner of downtown Orlando, is also just 20 minutes from the trendy neighborhood of Winter Park, Orlando International Airport (MCO) and The University of Central Florida.
Guestrooms are equipped with modern gadgets including smart ambiance controls that adjust the temperature and lighting, HDTVs with Netflix and Hulu streaming, and several USB ports.
Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, the lobby includes contemporary artwork while the adjoining AC Kitchen offers a European-inspired culinary concept.
Guests at the hotel’s SkyBar Rooftop Terrace can enjoy Spanish-inspired tapas and bites, artisanal cocktails and local craft brews from its 1
8th floor perch – one of only a few rooftop spaces in downtown Orlando. The bar’s flexible layout and adjacent green space can be re-arranged for corporate events and intimate, socially distanced weddings.
AC Hotel Orlando Downtown also features three indoor meeting rooms totaling more than 2,000 square feet with the latest audio/visual tech and seven configurations ideal for executive gatherings, business trainings, and social events.
Rounding out the amenities are the AC Store with a selection of on-the-go snacks and an on-property fitness center with cardio equipment and free weights.
