NEW AC HOTEL CHICAGO DOWNTOWN OFFERS SPECIAL $95 RATE WHEN TEMPS REACH 95 DEGREES OR MORE

“Turn On the AC” Summer Promotion Marks the Opening of this New Marriott Brand in Chicago

CHICAGO – While Summer travelers coast-to-coast are searching for last-minute travel destinations, AC Hotel Chicago Downtown is turning up the heat, or rather, they are turning up AC to attract guests nationwide. Located in the heart of downtown Chicago and owned and managed by Marcus® Hotels & Resorts, AC Hotel Chicago Downtown is offering a special deal this August for guests who need to “turn up the AC” and escape the dog days of summer with some of the summer’s hottest sales.

For the entire month of August, on days the temperature reaches 95 degrees, the AC Hotel Chicago Downtown will be offering rooms at a special discounted rate of $95. Guests will also be greeted with complimentary chilled prosecco in their room upon arrival. However, travelers will need to be sure to get it while it’s hot: this deal will go quickly and there are only a limited number of rooms available. To book the package, click here

Additional Amenities

Guests looking to cool off at the hotel will have numerous amenities available to them during their stay. The eight story hotel also offers outdoor terraces with views of the city, a fifth floor outdoor patio and indoor pool, along with a state of the art fitness center. With complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, guests can enjoy all the comforts of home without ever having to step outside in the heat.

A New Breed of Hotel

Located in the heart of Chicago’s thriving River North neighborhood on the corner of Rush and Ontario, the new lifestyle hotel is AC Hotels by Marriott’s fourth property in North America and second in the Midwest, following the brand’s debut in New Orleans, and is part of a growing portfolio of over 50 hotels expected to open in the next few years in the U.S. and Latin America.

AC Hotel is part of a new breed of lifestyle hotels targeting millennial and business travelers worldwide. Inspired by the fashion houses of Milan and blending European style with minimalist design, AC Hotels create a comfortable atmosphere for guests and an unfussy alternative to the one-size-fits-all hotel. Based on a belief that purposeful design improves lives, each guest room carefully curates the items that guests need and edit what they don’t. The result is elegant yet unpretentious style, innovative “Beverage & Food” programming and locally inspired experiences to guests and locals.
