AC Hotels by Marriott owns and operates a chain of hotels in Spain, Italy, and Portugal. The company's amenities include accommodation, dining, corporate programs, and meeting and conference rooms, as well as facilities for weddings. It serves business and leisure travelers. The company was formerly known as AC Hoteles S.A. and changed its name to AC Hotels by Marriott on June 8, 2011. The company was founded in 1998 and is based in Pozuelo de Alarcon, Spain. As of June 8, 2011, AC Hotels by Marriott operates as a subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc.

==History==
In 1997, Antonio Catalán founded AC Hoteles C. A. after selling his 35% share in [[NH Hotel Group]].<ref name="El Mundo" />

In 2005, business austerity measures resulted in conference cancellations and widespread bans on business trips for several years. The downturn forced AC to team with a major Spanish rival in 2009 in a management deal that cut costs at both chains. The chain rebranded after a needed, but undisclosed, investment by Marriott. A new joint company assumed the management, but property ownerships remained with existing parties.<ref name="Financial Times" /><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.costar.com/article/1102485124/marriott-and-ac-hotels-form-ac-by-marriott |date=2010-10-07 |title=Marriott and AC Hotels Form 'AC by Marriott' |website=[[CoStar Group]]}}</ref>

Since June 8, 2011, AC Hotels by Marriott has operated as a subsidiary of [[Marriott International]], and is now based at Marriott's headquarters in [[Bethesda, Maryland]].

History

[edit]

In 1997, Antonio Catalán founded AC Hoteles C. A. after selling his 35% share in NH Hotel Group.[1]

In 2005, business austerity measures resulted in conference cancellations and widespread bans on business trips for several years. The downturn forced AC to team with a major Spanish rival in 2009 in a management deal that cut costs at both chains. The chain rebranded after a needed, but undisclosed, investment by Marriott. A new joint company assumed the management, but property ownerships remained with existing parties.[2][5]

Since June 8, 2011, AC Hotels by Marriott has operated as a subsidiary of Marriott International, and is now based at Marriott's headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. Catalán remained as AC Hotels' president.[6]

As of 2024, AC Hotels by Marriott maintains properties in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, Jamaica, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
