Donohoe Development Announces the Opening of AC Hotel & Residence Inn by Marriott Reston

Donohoe Development is excited to announce the opening of the AC Hotel & Residence Inn in Reston, Virginia, marking the successful completion of northern Virginia's first dual-branded Marriott hotel.

"We are incredibly proud to unveil the AC Hotel & Residence Inn, a hotel offering two distinct experiences in a way that has rarely been done before," Ralph Choueiri, Development Director at Donohoe Development stated. "This hotel represents the next chapter for Reston Town Center, offering a unique combination of modern luxury and residential comfort for both short-term and extended stays. We look forward to welcoming the community to experience everything this project has to offer."

The new hotel successfully combines two Marriott brands-AC Hotel and Residence Inn-into a single destination, blending chic, minimalist design of AC Hotel with extended-stay comfort of Residence Inn. This innovative concept, driven by hotel operator Donohoe Hospitality's commitment to exceptional service, caters to business and leisure travelers alike, setting a new standard for luxury, convenience, and flexibility in the Washington, DC metro area.

The hotel features a modern and stylish design by Cooper Carry and Design Continuum, brought to life through the expert construction management of Donohoe Construction. The hotel offers 267 thoughtfully designed accommodations-147 guest rooms at AC Hotel and 120 suites at Residence Inn-each equipped with modern amenities, elegant furnishings, and the advanced technology today's travelers expect.

Key amenities include:
• A full-service restaurant, SEVEN, offering European-inspired cuisine by Chef Alexis Hernandez
• Coming soon: A rooftop lounge and bar, SYN, providing sweeping views of Reston
• A state-of-the-art fitness center and an indoor pool for relaxation and rejuvenation
• Over 11,300 square feet of meeting and event space, ideal for corporate functions, conferences, and social gatherings
• 34,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of Reston Town Center
• Easy access to the new Reston Town Center Metro station, providing direct transit links to IAD and Washington, DC

The completion of this innovative project would not have been possible without the cooperation of Fairfax County, whose support and efficiency were instrumental in meeting the tight deadlines required to deliver this landmark hotel.

AC Hotel & Residence Inn Reston is part of the expanded Reston Town Center mixed-use development, enhancing the area's appeal to business travelers, tourists, and the local community alike. The hotel's prime location, surrounded by Fortune 500 companies, restaurants, and retail, as well as its proximity to the new Silver Line Metro station, positions it as a leading destination for visitors to the greater DC area.

AC Hotel & Residence Inn Reston is now open and ready to welcome guests, with strong demand expected for one of the first new hotels in the area in over 15 years. The project represents a significant milestone for Donohoe Development, Donohoe Hospitality, and the greater Reston community.
