AC Hotel Washington DC Capitol Hill Navy Yard is set to become the third AC Hotels by Marriott in the nation’s capital on February 3, 2022. Owned and managed by Concord Hospitality Enterprises, Whitman Peterson and Greystar Real Estate Investments, the new property offers the brand’s intuitive and timeless European-inspired travel experience to guests perfectly situated between D.C.’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, bustling waterfront Navy Yard, and the attractions of the National Mall.

A convenient retreat, the hotel is set amongst the energy of Capitol Hill and the stadiums and restaurants lining the Southwest Waterfront and Navy Yard neighborhoods. This spectacularly designed full-service property is just blocks from The Wharf, the Smithsonian Museums and memorials that dot the National Mall, Nationals Park, Audi Field, and is easily accessible from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport via the Metro’s Green line.

Putting thoughtfully curated moments and purposeful design first, the hotel features 11 stories of 225 well-appointed guest rooms with sleek, modern furnishings throughout and AC signatures, including KORRES bath products with contemporary scents. The guest rooms are offered in a variety of configurations such as double queen and king to suit today’s modern traveler, and are styled to maximize a sense of openness with plenty of space to unpack and unwind. Rooms with private balconies and Capitol views are also available. Refrigerators and in-room safes are accessible to all guests in all rooms.
