PA Hospitality has broken ground on a 153-room AC Hotel by Marriott inside Houston's CityCentre mixed-use district, a $19 million ground-up build designed by DLR Group. Completion is targeted for late 2027, making it CityCentre's second hotel after The Moran CityCentre.

The concept PA Hospitality is building a six-story, roughly 85,810-square-foot AC Hotel from the ground up on a $19 million budget, with Anchor Construction as general contractor and DLR Group as architect. Groundbreaking took place in early June 2026. It becomes CityCentre's second hotel, joining The Moran CityCentre, and gives the district's largely office-and-retail mix a second, more budget-accessible lodging option.
Dining & wellness Plans include a pool, bar, fitness center and meeting space, consistent with the AC Hotels brand standard; no restaurant concept or operator has been named.
Our take A straightforward brand-standard build rather than an architectural statement, but CityCentre's foot traffic and a confirmed groundbreaking make this a lower-risk addition than most of the district's more ambitious pipeline projects.

So this review is first and foremost for your maintenance man Jeff. We had two issues as soon as we walked into our room last night and Jeff was there super fast and fixed things very quickly. He is fantastic. I almost want something else to go wrong in the room so we can call him back because he was so entertaining
The placement of the TV in our room was a little weird. I feel like it should be allowed to move around so you don't have to sit on a specific side of the bed just to watch it. Bathroom situation. Kinda strange. No privacy whatsoever. Not really a separate bathroom area at all unless you're sliding the doors closed to take a shower or go to the bathroom. Maybe that's just how this type of Marriott hotel is. Nothing wrong with it, just not what I was expecting.
Also, what is the point of having a door to the hotel if you can't get in or out of it? They only have one door on Rusk that won't let you in or out
I love that there's a Starbucks in the hotel that is so convenient. Very close to a lot of places since you're in the middle of downtown
I was going to post a picture of the bathroom that we have in our room but for some reason that option isn't being given to me
Dear Cotton,
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to take a moment to commend the remarkable service provided by your exceptional team from your reception team. Their enthusiasm and dedication truly made our stay memorable. Markeisha, Desyre, and Mahogany went above and beyond to ensure that my colleagues and I received an early check-in, and they proactively followed up to make sure our accommodations were satisfactory. The thoughtful gestures, such as providing complimentary bottles of water, showcased a level of service that is rarely seen.
We were genuinely impressed with the hospitality at the AC Hotel by Marriott in downtown, Houston. As a frequent Marriott guest around the globe, I can attest that the personalized attention we received here stands out. Your team delivered exceptional service that reflects a commitment to excellence, which is undoubtedly a testament to your leadership.
Blue was the best at the bar,
The wonderful staff exemplify what it means to represent the Marriott brand with pride. Their warm smiles and attentive care made us feel valued as guests. While many only write in when they experience issues, I felt it was important to share our gratitude and highlight their efforts.
It is this kind of service that will ensure my return to your hotel in the future. Thank you for fostering such a welcoming environment.
Best wishes,
Clint
I travel a lot, and it’s rare that someone truly stands out the way Sarah did at the AC Hotel Houston. From the moment I checked in, she was professional, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without ever sounding forced or scripted. You can tell she actually cares about the guest experience, and that kind of hospitality is hard to find these days.
What impressed me most was how effortlessly she handled everything — answering questions, making recommendations, and making sure my stay was smooth from start to finish. Even during busy moments, she stayed calm, friendly, and incredibly polished. She made the hotel feel less like a stop on a trip and more like a place you actually want to come back to.
The AC Hotel is lucky to have someone like Sarah representing them. She’s the kind of employee people remember long after their stay is over.
Booking this hotel I had high expectations since at other AC hotels I had an amazing experience. However, this property was a bit different. This hotel is located downtown Houston so please be aware of the many homeless people hanging around. Checking in was breeze everyone at the front desk was friendly and helpful. After checking in we decided to grab a drink at the hotel's bar and the bartender there was extremely rude. Questioning why we were asking questions about drink ingredients and overall being rude and unprofessional. Needless to say we never returned to the bar our entire stay. The hotel room was okay smaller than expected. The bed was really soft. The housekeeping staff were really friendly and helpful. Having a Starbucks on the property was a plus for us unfortunately one day of our stay they had to shutdown due system failure. My only suggestion is to train the staff on customer service and professionalism. Myself among other visitors wasn't pleased with the unpleasant service we received for the price we had paid.
I want to share my valet experience I had this past weekend. The valet service overcharged me. This is a third party company. AC Hotel went above and beyond to make this right. I had the pleasure of being taken care of by Mahogany Davis. She was very professional and took care of my issue with the valet. I will visit this hotel anytime. Thanks for your professionalism.
