Welcome Group Inc has begun construction of AC Hotel by Marriott, a 194-room, 100k sf hotel in Pasadena. The project, being built by R.D. Olson Construction, is designed to appeal to business and leisure travelers alike.
A rooftop bar and lounge featuring expansive mountain views will have public access via a dedicated elevator off the Colorado Blvd entrance, while guests will have additional designated hotel elevators. The first floor will also have a bar and cafe serviced by an on-site kitchen.
The infill project is a ground-up construction to replace a former parking lot, with special accommodations (and coordination with city arborists) made to preserve existing old growth trees adjacent to the property. Located at 550 E. Colorado Blvd, the six-story building will be the only branded hotel in the Pasadena Playhouse Village, offering guests a walkable neighborhood of nearby restaurants, shops, museums, and events at the Pasadena Convention Center.
The mixed-use layout will include 5k sf of leasable space on the first floor, and an event space for planned gatherings. The hotel’s modern design incorporates the most current technology with Wi-Fi throughout and RFID (Radio Frequency ID) locks on guestrooms operable through a mobile device. The interior design highlights natural textures, with abundant wood surfaces, fireplaces, water features and large format windows offering ample natural light. Rooms will range from singles to penthouse suites on the sixth floor.
Other firms involved on this project are architects AXIS/GFA, structural engineers Saiful Bouquet, with interior design by Wild Muse (formerly known at Design Force).
