Vision Hospitality Group has broken ground on the AC Hotel Chattanooga, Tenn., marking the Marriott brand’s debut in the city.

Expected to open in spring 2028, the 148-room hotel will include O-Ku, a Japanese restaurant concept from Indigo Road Hospitality Group, on the ground floor. Through a partnership with Charleston, S.C.-based Indigo Road Hospitality Group, Vision will bring O-Ku to Chattanooga.

"We're excited to bring the AC Hotels brand to Chattanooga," Mitch Patel, founder & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group, said in a statement. "The brand has established a strong identity within Marriott's portfolio, and we believe its modern design and approach to hospitality will resonate with travelers visiting the market."
