Embracing the brands focus on harmonious design and tailored style, the hotels each feature the AC Lobby, with furnishing that offers a timeless yet modern feel, and communal spaces that have been designed with maximum comfort and function in mind. Further embracing the brand’s focus on purposeful design, each room is thoughtfully designed to allow travellers to use the space in whatever way they see fit - providing them with everything they need, and nothing they don’t. The hotels will also feature the brand’s signature innovative beverage and food program at the AC Kitchen where guests can savour the start of the day with a European-inspired breakfast spread, while the AC Lounge offers an approachable twist with a selection of tapas and drinks through the day, and the signature Roselle mocktail in the evening for guests to unwind  during AC Hour.
