According to Simon Galante, CEO of FibraHotel, the entire hotel was created by Mexicans, including the architecture and interior design, with the majority of the décor – from the furniture and lighting – designed and produced in Mexico. Sordo Madaleno Architects designed the AC Hotel Guadalajara structure. The design of the interiors of the hotel was led by Jihei Aoki.

The guestrooms incorporate tones of gray and brown, with clean modern lines and wood flooring. The minimalistic design of the furniture helps create more space.

For dining, the hotel has the AC Lounge, said to give the traditional hotel bar a twist. Located adjacent to the AC Lounge is the AC Kitchen.
