AC Hotels has broken into the San Diego market, opening its first property in the region in the Downtown Gaslamp Quarter. From Marriott International and Briad Hospitality, the eight-story, 147 room hotel offers a fitness center, signature AC Kitchen and AC Lounge.

Hotel Business reports the AC Hotel will also offer Techo Beso, a rooftop bar and restaurant inspired by the energy and culture of love found in Tulum, Mexico. Located at the Gaslamp Galleria Building on Sixth Avenue, the property sits in a vibrant area known for its nightlife and dining, and is just a short walk to PETCO Park.

Briad Construction Services has revamped the historic facade on the 69,000-square-foot building, which had fallen into disrepair. According to Marriott, AC Hotels are meant to offer a creative and hip take on hospitality, with rooms that feature luxury bedding and spacious workstations. Other amenities include a rooftop pool and a conference center.
