Open · June 2026
AC Hotel Denver RiNo opened in June 2026 on Brighton Boulevard, a seven-story, 128-room new build bringing Marriott's design-focused AC Hotels brand into the RiNo Art District after a construction process delayed by the pandemic. It's a straightforward, brand-standard addition to one of Denver's most active neighborhoods for new hotel development.

The place
AC Hotel Denver RiNo opened at 3680 Brighton Boulevard, in the heart of the River North Art District, one of Denver's fastest-changing former industrial neighborhoods.
The concept
Developed on land acquired in 2019 by a partnership including Allen Sigmon Real Estate Group, Alliance Investments, Lotus Hotels and TMS Management, the seven-story, 128-room hotel opened its doors on June 18, 2026 after a construction timeline stretched out by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a ground-up build, designed by KTGY Architects with interiors by Graniti Vicentia.
As a Marriott AC Hotels property, it follows the brand's now-familiar European-inflected, design-first formula (minimalist rooms, a central lobby bar built for co-working and evening drinks alike) dropped into RiNo's gallery-and-brewery corridor rather than a conventional downtown business district.
Dining & wellness
Details on the hotel's specific restaurant and bar concepts were not independently verified beyond the brand-standard AC Lounge/AC Kitchen format typical of AC Hotels by Marriott.
