AC Hotels by Marriott has opened its newest property in the heart of Naples, on Florida’s southwest coast.

The three-storey AC Hotel Naples 5th Avenue features 150 modern guestrooms; an inviting lobby and ground-floor café; 2,500 square feet of event space; a well-equipped fitness center; an outdoor rooftop pool; and Limón, a signature rooftop restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating.

“AC Naples is the perfect example of the design-driven guest experience synonymous with the AC Hotels by Marriott brand, providing everything guests need and nothing they don’t,” said Matthew Boettcher, vice-president and global brand leader, Distinctive Select Brands. “With practical comforts that balance form with function, and expanded guest experience touchpoints, the hotel is set to serve as a modern stay experience in the heart of Florida’s southwest coast.”

AC Hotel Naples is filled throughout with the details that matter most to discerning travelers, from commissioned artwork to top-tier amenities to precisely placed technology.

The hotel’s public spaces showcase an eclectic group of local and regional artists, all of whom explore forms, colors, and materials inspired by the Floridian landscape. LouAnn Wukitsch, for example, created “Reflect” from textured glass tiles in her studio near the burgeoning Glass Coast. “Beach Ball” by Naples’ own Kari LaOrden incorporates natural cork and salt wash. Also gracing the space are works by Sunshine State artists Steph Gimson, Lynda Fay Braun, Bonnie Keane, and Brigitte Balbinot.

Working from her studio in Spain’s Balearic Islands, Karen Hain created “Sand Lines” with sand collected from Naples Beach for a uniquely local expression. Several wood sculptures throughout the hotel give voice to nature, while Carolina Sardi’s steel “Lemon” sculptures speak to the Amalfi coast, the inspiration behind Limón Rooftop Bar.

Located on the hotel’s third-story rooftop space, Limón features a Mediterranean menu with a modern twist. A long, lively bar menu is headlined by cocktails such as Limón Cadere, Crown of Laurels, and Melon Basil Sparkler.

AC Hotel Naples was developed and will be managed by OTO Development, part of The Johnson Group. Project partners include MHK Architecture & Planning, architect; DLR Group, interior designer; DeAngelis Diamond, general contractor; and Kevin Barry Art Advisory, art curator.

The new hotel is the hospitality component of Naples Square, a mixed-use development master-planned by Wheelock Street Capital and The Ronto Group which also includes nearly 300 luxury condominium units and a 350-seat performing arts complex. Located on a prominent corner of the city’s unofficial Main Street, AC Hotel Naples is surrounded by upscale restaurants, retailers, and arts/entertainment venues such as Gulfshore Playhouse. Tin City and Bayfront are across the street, while Baker Park and the sugar-white beaches of Naples are only a short distance away.

AC Hotel Naples 5th Avenue is located at 455 12th Street South in Naples, Florida.
