AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Downtown, a 4-star hotel, sits in the South End, an established residential neighborhood known for its brownstones and boutique dining. The property is part of the urban six-acre Ink Block development, formerly the Boston Herald headquarters. It is just a few minutes' walk from the SoWa art galleries, flea market on Harrison Avenue, and South End's dining on Tremont and Washington Streets. The hotel near the airport offers easy access to Boston's city center, located 0.9 miles from Boston Common and 1.2 miles from the New England Aquarium.

Modern Comfort Rooms

The modernist-style, art-filled AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Downtown features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, premium bedding, and 50-inch TVs. Each room includes a private bathroom, mini-fridge, and flexible workspace. The six-storey, cuboid midrise has a light-flooded lobby with a neutral brown-toned palette and seating areas with grey velveteen couches.

Dining & Drinks

AC Kitchen serves a European-inspired buffet breakfast with eggs made to order, while AC Lounge offers tapas-inspired bites and cocktails like the Flor de Catalan made with Bully Boy rum. The food selection includes sandwiches, flatbreads, sweet potato-stuffed ravioli, and salmon with quinoa tabouli. The lobby shop provides drinks, snacks, and essential items like toothbrushes.

Leisure & Culture

Guests at AC Hotel Boston Downtown can access the fitness center, sun terrace, and shared lounge. The property includes the AC Library with computers, books, and magazines for borrowing. A mini art gallery is located past the lifts near the media salons and meeting space.

Business & Accessibility

AC Hotel by Marriott Boston Downtown offers meeting spaces for 5 to 80 guests, a 24-hour business center, and valet parking. The reception staff speaks English, Spanish, French, and Hindi. Service animals are welcome, and accessible features include roll-in showers and lowered electrical outlets.

“I see a modern design aesthetic that extends to both work and leisure spaces, especially with its proximity to the Ink Block development and its dining options. With a European-inspired breakfast featuring local ingredients and a mini art gallery, it presents an appealing blend of culture and convenience to me. It's location in the South End places it near Boston's attractions, though some rooms facing the highway can be noisy.”
