Construction has just been completed on the new AC Hotel Pasadena. The $60 mil project, a development of Welcome Group Inc, was completed in 21 months and is the only branded property in Pasadena’s Playhouse Village.
The project was built by R.D. Olson Construction and is located at 550 E. Colorado Blvd, at the corner with Madison Ave. The hotel features 194 guestrooms along with a rooftop bar and lounge with sweeping mountain views. To provide easy access to the hotel’s in-demand bar, R.D. Olson Construction implemented a public-access elevator from the first floor.
Additionally, the 100k sf hotel features a bar and cafe serviced by an on-site kitchen. The project also offers 5k sf of leasable space on the first floor along with an event space for planned gatherings. Centrally located in the heart of Pasadena, the AC Hotel – a Marriott brand -- provides guests easy access to a walkable neighborhood of nearby restaurants, shops, museums and events at the Pasadena Convention Center.
The AC Hotel Pasadena was completed on time in spite of some challenges the construction firm encountered. Most notably, the team had to navigate the extraction of an underground building, which was only discovered during the construction process.
The Pasadena property is R.D. Olson Construction’s second property for Welcome Group Inc. Other AC Hotels the firm previously constructed include locations in Beverly Hills and South Bay in California alongside a property in Maui Wailea in Hawaii.
