AC Hotel By Marriott Boston Downtown - A Modern Six-Story Hotel in South End with European-Inspired Dining and Art Gallery

Located in Boston's brownstone-lined South End, this six-story modernist Boston hotel occupies part of the urban six-acre Ink Block development on the former Boston Herald newspaper headquarters site. AC Hotel By Marriott Boston Downtown features air-conditioned rooms equipped with 50-inch TVs, free WiFi, mini-fridges, and private bathrooms with premium bedding. The light-flooded, window-walled lobby includes an AC Library with computers and reading materials, while the space near meeting rooms serves as a mini art gallery. Dining options encompass the AC Kitchen serving European-inspired breakfast buffet with made-to-order eggs, and the AC Lounge offering tapas-style dishes like sweet potato ravioli and salmon with quinoa tabouli. The reception staff speaks English, Spanish, French, and Hindi. AC Hotel positions guests within walking distance of SoWa art galleries, flea market, and South End's dining establishments on Tremont and Washington Streets.

Pros

Reception staff speaks four languages for international guests

The property includes an on-site mini art gallery

The AC Lounge serves locally-sourced spirits, including Bully Boy rum from Dorchester

Located within the innovative Ink Block development

Cons

European-inspired breakfast comes at additional cost

Limited on-site dining options after breakfast hours

“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its connection to the Ink Block development in the South End, an area notable for its dining scene. The European-inspired breakfast, coupled with modern design and workspaces, makes it suitable for both business and leisure. I think its art-inspired ambiance and eco-conscious amenities, like electric car charging, are definite advantages.”
