NEWS | AC Hotels by Marriott Continues European Expansion with New Hotels in Nice & Barcelona



Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) has continued the expansion of its joint venture with AC Hotels with the opening of two new properties – the AC Hotel Nice on the French Riviera and the AC Hotel Sant Cugat in Catalonia, Barcelona. The two new hotels will be welcome additions to the AC Hotels by Marriott brand, which launched in 2011 and now offers over 80 hotels across Europe. After an extensive renovation, the AC Hotel Nice opened on 1 April 2013.
The 143-room downtown hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea just steps from Promenade des Anglais. Standout hotel features include a panoramic terrace with heated swimming pool and a relaxing hotel Zen garden. In addition to 22 suites, the hotel has three conference and banqueting rooms, accommodating up to 100 guests.

The Acropolis Congress Centre is only a short distance away making it ideally appointed accommodation for business as well as leisure travellers. The AC Hotel Nice is the second AC Hotel by Marriott hotel to open in France joining the AC Hotel Ambassadeur Antibes-Juan Les Pins, which opened last summer. Another French property, AC Hotel Paris Porte Maillot, was announced in September 2012 and is set to open in early 2014.
