The concept
The four-story, roughly 108,000-square-foot building splits into two Marriott brands sharing a single site: AC Hotel, described locally as Fresno's first four-star hotel, built around a modern, European-inspired design, and Element, Marriott's extended-stay brand, offering longer-stay guests a complimentary reception. It is billed as the first project of its kind in the Central Valley.

Shared amenities include an oversized pool, a gym and several conference rooms, alongside a rooftop lounge on the AC Hotel side overlooking River Park.
