The AC Hotel Huntsville Downtown has opened, marking the AC Hotels by Marriott brand’s first entry in Alabama. The new-build property features 120 guestrooms, event space and multiple food-and-beverage venues.
The hotel offers three flexible meeting rooms that together make up The Gallery at Big Spring Park. The space accommodates up to 200 guests and looks out over a downtown park.
The Veranda, the hotel’s second-story terrace bar, connects to The Gallery and will open this summer. It will serve a menu of craft cocktails to both event and hotel guests. The hotel’s main bar, called the AC Lounge, provides tapas-style small dishes and a selection of local craft beers, specialty wines and signature cocktails. Nearby, the AC Kitchen serves European-inspired continental breakfast in the morning and features the Berkel slicer, offering guests fresh, hand-cut meats.

The new Huntsville property is the first tenant of a new $100 million, mixed-use development known as CityCentre at Big Spring. The upscale area includes 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 277 apartment units and an artisanal food hall.
