Our newest hotel project for a valued hospitality client opened to guests Feb. 2 in the new Liberty Center retail development near Cincinnati. The new six-story AC Hotel is one-of-a-kind. Instead of a full-service, in-house restaurant, the AC’s lounge serves drinks, and its kitchen serves European-inspired breakfast items. This modern hotel allows guests to check-in online, skip the front desk, and use a smart phone as the room key. Outdoor terraces offer views of Liberty Center. Its overall features include minimalist designs with hardwood floors and sleek furniture. With 132 rooms, an indoor pool, a spa, a 2,100-square-foot conference center, and ground floor retail space, this AC Hotel is the first newly constructed facility in the United States since Marriott International and European hotelier Antonio Catalan (AC) brought the brand to this country. And the new brand has an aggressive expansion plan, as evidenced by Kraemer Brothers’ current construction project on another AC Hotel in downtown Madison for a different client.
