Marriott Opens AC Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland

(17 August 2022, 11:11 +07)  Marriott has expanded its portfolio of AC Hotels with the opening of a hotel in the heart of downtown Bethesda, Maryland.

AC Hotel Bethesda Downtown is located at the bustling intersection of Montgomery and Wisconsin Avenues, just a few blocks from Marriott International’s new global headquarters and only seven miles from downtown D.C.

The hotel is a one-minute walk from the Red Line Metro Station and a three-minute bike ride to the Capital Crescent Trail. It is also near the National Institute of Health and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

OTO Development, part of The Johnson Group, developed and will manage the new hotel, which is adjacent to and shares amenities with Avocet Tower, a trophy-class office building developed by Stonebridge.

With the completion of the Bethesda project, OTO has opened six AC Hotels. The others are in South San Francisco, California; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Spartanburg, South Carolina; Times Square, New York; and Washington, D.C.; with two more currently under development in Naples and Jacksonville, Florida.

“AC Bethesda is filled throughout with the details that matter most to discerning travelers,” says General Manager, Chris Raines. “From commissioned artwork to top-tier amenities to intuitive technology, even high-end toiletries, our hotel is designed to provide guests with everything they want and nothing they don’t, in a well-designed, thoroughly considered space.”

The 18-storey AC Hotel Bethesda Downtown comprises 220 guest rooms and more than 11,000 square feet of activated shared space complete with a signature restaurant.

Other amenities include 3,500 square feet of flexible, top-floor meeting space with an outdoor terrace overlooking Silver Spring, Maryland; Tysons Corner and Arlington, Virginia; and downtown Washington, D.C., as well as a 5,000-sqft fitness center boasting a full range of weights, cardio equipment, a yoga studio and a spin room.

The hotel welcomed its first guests on Tuesday, 16 August 2022.
