(TAN): AC Hotels by Marriott, the design-led lifestyle brand from Marriott International, announced the opening of the AC Hotel Santiago Costanera Center in the cultural hub of Chile.
Designed by Alemparte Barreda & Asociados, AC Hotels’ first hotel in Chile is located on the 17th floor of the Torre Vitacura in the prestigious Costanera Center.
The hotel’s AC Lobby features inviting furnishings, locally sourced art and timeless, modern touches that evoke the feeling of a well-curated gallery. AC Hotel Santiago Costanera boasts 249 guest rooms that were thoughtfully designed to do away with unnecessary embellishments and maximize the sense of openness with plenty of free surfaces to store luggage or pull up a chair and work efficiently.

The hotel’s communal spaces have all been designed with maximum comfort and function in mind. AC Hotel Santiago Costanera Center’s flexible, open spaces feature intuitive service such as Kallpods (frictionless wireless service buttons) to better engage and meet the needs of guest requests, as well as additional amenities that encourage guests to conduct a business meeting, socialize and spend time enjoying the amenities the Lobby has to offer. The hotel’s colors were selected based on regional colors reflecting Santiago’s mixed heritage.
A signature offering of the brand includes an innovative beverage and food program at the hotel’s AC Kitchen, where European-inspired breakfast features signature butter croissants imported from France, artisan cured meats, such as thinly sliced Italian Prosciutto from AC’s iconic Berkel slicing machine, an international selection of cheeses, as well as yogurts and cereals, seasonal fruits and local specialties.
