AC Hotel Dayton Announces Grand Opening in March

As the City of Dayton continues to invest in and revitalize the downtown area, AC Hotel Dayton joins the movement, opening its doors this March. Developed by Crawford Hoying, AC Hotel Dayton is operated by Shaner Hotels and is the area’s newest hotel featuring modern, European-style elegance. The property offers an ideal location just steps away from local dining, shopping, sports and entertainment, arts and culture, and more.

“We’re thrilled to join the Dayton community and offer visitors a refined, yet approachable hospitality experience that is unique to the area,” said General Manager Ian Legros. “As the area continues to see growth, we are committed to offering all visitors a comfortable and thoughtful stay while enjoying all that Water Street District has to offer.”

Whether exploring the growing area for leisure or visiting for business, guests will enjoy a sophisticated stay at AC Hotel Dayton, coined The Perfectly Precise Hotel™. The hotel’s 134 design-savvy guest rooms feature everything guests need free of traditional hotel room distractions. Every room was designed with details in mind. A comfortable and unobtrusive stay will always be top of mind.

Guests at AC Hotel Dayton will enjoy access to a well-equipped fitness center in addition to European-inspired breakfast by day in the AC Kitchen and craft beer or cocktails paired with delectable light bites by night in the AC Lounge. The property is also home to The Foundry, AC Hotel Dayton’s rooftop bar and restaurant set to open this Spring. The restaurant touts an outside terrace overlooking Day Air Ballpark, home of the Dayton Dragons baseball team. It’s the ideal place to watch the game in comfort. The Foundry will feature Modern American Gastropub-inspired dishes, signature and artisanal cocktails, and local craft beers.

Essential for business travelers, the hotel also features 4,500 sq-ft of AC Meeting Rooms and a collaborative AC Library offering communal tables, a wireless printer and access to a laptop or tablet.

“AC Hotel Dayton prides itself on blending form and function with its well-designed meeting rooms, event spaces, dining options, and prime location in the downtown area, ideal for business and leisure travelers alike,” remarked Area Director of Sales Aletha Dillinger. “The hotel will be an exceptional addition to the growing community.”
