First Martin Corp. in Ann Arbor and Chicago’s First Hospitality have opened the AC Marriott Hotel Ann Arbor Downtown at 310 E. Huron St. It’s the first AC Hotel in Ann Arbor and the fourth in Michigan.
The new six-story hotel is in the Downtown Ann Arbor Main Street District, bringing what the developers are calling “a sleek, design-forward hospitality experience” to the home of the University of Michigan.
The AC Marriott Hotel Ann Arbor Downtown spans 81,745 square feet and features 139 guest rooms. The property’s curated art collection is designed to celebrate Ann Arbor’s “artistic pulse — where academia meets artistry and natural textures meet modern design,” according to officials. The art ranges from locally shot photography to abstract murals.
The exterior pairs brick, stone, and metallic panels — including custom copper-accented metalwork from Michigan-based Dri-Design — for a look designed to be both contemporary and rooted in local craftsmanship.
Inside, light-filled spaces feature a mix of metal, glass, and wood, referencing Ann Arbor’s industrial roots and innovation-driven spirit.
A sixth-floor lounge and terrace offer panoramic views of downtown. Sustainable design touches include a solar panel array generating more than 50 kWh per day.
“Ann Arbor is a place where innovation and creativity thrive,” says Ryan Wilkins, general manager of the hotel. “The AC Marriott Hotel Ann Arbor Downtown offers a modern, intuitive experience that captures that same energy.”
The AC Lounge & Kitchen offers European-inspired breakfasts, handcrafted coffee, and signature cocktails. The lounge transitions from morning to evening, with menu highlights including small plates, tapas-style bites, and the brand’s AC Gin & Tonic.
Designed for business and other gatherings, the hotel features a 500-square-foot executive boardroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and an 85-inch mounted display. Additional amenities include valet parking, a fully equipped fitness center, digital check-in and mobile keys, and pet-friendly accommodations.
