It might be known for its unique brand of contemporary European chic, but Marriott’s lifestyle offer is taking the United States by storm. The latest outpost, AC Hotel Chicago Downtown, takes that look and puts a Windy City spin on the Millennial-friendly slickness the flag is known for.
The 226-room property takes a base of neutral tones for public spaces and guestrooms and spices it up with strategic accents. The designers knew they wanted to bring in the “wow” factor with arty elements. So, a large blue piece becomes a focal point in the lobby. In the guestrooms, the mirror draws the eye.
The hotel also features the AC Lounge, a terrace and an indoor pool. It offers extensive meetings spaces as well.
The Chicago hotel is yet another case study for hotel design proving that — like the perfect pair of jeans — livable, wearable chic is a must-have for today’s guests.
