“Naples
is one of our country’s most treasured places to live and visit, and the
environment created around Naples Square will provide the perfect setting
for an AC Hotel,” says Todd
Turner, CEO of OTO Development. “This lodging brand is noted for bringing
distinctive design to top travel destinations around the world, with guest
rooms and shared spaces that strike the perfect balance of accessibility
and sophistication.”
The
three-story AC Hotel Naples will include a ground floor café and
lobby, 2,500-square-feet of divisible meeting space, a rooftop pool, and
Limón, a destination rooftop restaurant and bar with indoor and
outdoor seating.
AC
Hotel Naples is perfectly positioned at the intersection of Goodlette-Frank
Road and 5th Avenue South, which doubles as downtown Naples’ unofficial
Main Street. It’s across the street from the well-known waterfront retail,
restaurant and recreation venues Tin City and Bayfront, and it’s a short
distance to Naples beaches and Baker Park.
“As
the first Marriott-branded hotel in Old Naples, this AC Hotel will be the
first choice for many future visitors,” Turner says, noting that Naples
is famed for its sophisticated downtown, sugar-sand beaches and spectacular
sunsets. “Wheelock and The Ronto Group have created a true urban experience
in the heart of Naples, surrounded by upscale shopping, dining, cultural
arts and entertainment. OTO is delighted to be part of this dynamic development.”
AC
Hotel by Marriott Naples is slated for completion in Fall 2023.
