comprehensive and effortless stay in the heart of Honolulu's prime
metropolis," said Patricia Chang Moad, Project Executive and VP of

night. The five-story premise offers 112-guestrooms that serve as restorative

soothing backdrop for clarity and creativity. Purposeful design and intuitive

ergonomic chair, maximized storage and expansive restrooms. Along with inspired

office. Now featuring rich velvet green fabrics, plush leather seating and
vintage wooden filing cabinets reimagined as a bar; a hidden door [designed to
appear as postal boxes], leads to an underground clandestine Tiki-inspired
speakeasy, complete with a thatched-ceiling, bamboo accents, authentic vintage
collectibles and colorful illuminate seaglass-netted lanterns. Thematic-crafted

entertainment echoes amid the laughter and pleasure of staying at AC Hotel by Marriott Honolulu.
