[2024 Chengdu Stay] Travel Guide for AC Hotel by Marriott Chengdu North (Updated Nov)
I'll stay at this hotel whenever I come to Chengdu!
AC Hotel by Marriott Chengdu
Recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
AC Hotel only offers breakfast for one person to members in China. However, after a friendly chat, Xiao He at the front desk helped me apply for an extra free breakfast, which was nice. After actually having breakfast, I found it to be average, and definitely not worth the price of 88 per person.
As a new hotel, there is still a certain smell of renovation. The hotel is located in Phoenix Mountain Sports Park in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, not far from the southern direction of Chengdu's development. The hotel is a "short and fat" building with only 6 floors and almost no view. There are more than 70 rooms on each floor, and it's been a long time since I've seen such a dense corridor of rooms.
The hotel has a distinctive decoration style, with the feel of a mid-range hotel like All Seasons. Among so many rooms, there are only 8 suites in total, and 2 of them are for the hotel's own use. The probability of high-card members upgrading to a suite is not very high.
✅ The stadium is only 10 meters away, and the parking lot is shared, which is very suitable for those who come to watch games or concerts. It's only 7 km from the Panda Base, the best choice for seeing pandas early in the morning. It's also closer to Sanxingdui than other Marriott hotels.
✅ The price is the cheapest among Marriott hotels in Chengdu, similar to ordinary All Seasons and Atour hotels. It is a sign of Marriott Group's attack on the mid-range market.

This hotel in Chengdu is a good choice! I will come again next time.
The front desk check-in was a bit slow, there was basically no rest area in the lobby to wait, and the lobby bar was for consumption.
•Public area facilities: The overall public area environment is very design-oriented, especially the indoor gardens are very colorful.
The gym equipment is relatively simple, it is recommended that the gantry frame can be equipped with several bars, otherwise it will be wasted. The decoration of the lobby bar and restaurant is pretty good.
•Room: I stayed in a suite this time, and the overall decoration is similar to the New World I stayed in before, and the visual and experience effects are good.
✔️Each room is equipped with a JBL Bluetooth speaker
✔️The bed linen is comfortable
✔️The quality of the bath products is not bad
✔️The bathtub is large and the shape is reasonable and convenient for lying down steadily
❌The bath towel is not very useful
❌No smart voice control device and no semi-automatic toilet
⭕️minibar is uniformly 8 yuan a bottle
The overall hardware still has many details that are not handled well, such as the shower facilities are broken, and need to be improved. Then there is no obvious smell of decoration, this is not bad!
•Service: This price is not too cheap, and the service needs to be looked at. Overall it's okay, especially the room aunt and the restaurant I think are more professional, the front hall needs to be strengthened.
•Catering: Breakfast is 68 per person but it is actually okay, the total category is not particularly rich but everything is available, the noodles and egg stalls are quite delicious (better than some 5 diamonds). Some cheap late-night snacks will come back from the concert.
Overall it's actually not bad, there are surprises without expectations, and then if you are tired of watching concerts or games, you can consider it, there is no need to check in.

Just checked out and will definitely come back after seeing the flowers!
The first thing to do in Chengdu is to go straight to the Panda Base 🐼
How can it be so cute 😭😭😭
I can't get enough of it even after 100 visits!!!
I was so tired after walking around all day that I went straight back to the hotel to lie down~
My friend booked the AC Hotel
A hotel brand under Marriott International
It is said to be the first in the southwest and the second in China!
Next to it is the Phoenix Mountain Stadium
There are often concerts 🎤 and football matches ⚽
The entire hotel is full of artistic design
Art installations and paintings can be seen everywhere
There is also a courtyard garden full of green plants
Seeing all this green 🌳
The previous fatigue disappeared all at once
There is actually a souvenir shop on the first floor
There are so many plush pandas 🐼 wearing hotel T-shirts
I took one as a souvenir, it's so meaningful
I booked a window view double bed room, the lighting is great
The bathroom space is separated from the wet and dry areas
There are safes, drinks, snacks, and a small refrigerator, nothing is missing
The bed also has a thoughtful lavender good night sachet
The smell is so comfortable and decompressing (●ơ ₃ ơ)♥
I had afternoon coffee with my friends in the hotel lounge
I was too lazy to go out at night
I ate directly in the hotel restaurant
The double meal is very cost-effective
Six dishes, one soup and a fruit plate!
Spicy and delicious boiled pork slices 🐷
Q-bomb crispy flavored mustard shrimp 🦐
Salty and fragrant black pepper garlic beef 🐮
There is also a pot of Datura chicken soup per person 🐔
It's so fresh and sweet!
After eating, I went back to the room
With the scent of lavender
I fell asleep unconsciously 💤

5-minute walk to the concert venue! Immersive experience at AC Hotel by Marriott in Phoenix Mountain!
Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Center finally welcomed its hotel partner in 2024 - AC Hotel by Marriott. I felt that AC is more like a 3-4 star boutique hotel in China, so I didn't have high expectations before checking in, but the actual hardware and software were quite good.
During the peak check-in period in the afternoon, there were many security guards at the hotel entrance helping to unload luggage, as there seemed to be no bellboy service. The front desk check-in was a bit slow, and there was basically no waiting area in the lobby, with the lobby bar being a consumption-based seating area.
• Public Area Facilities: The overall environment of the public area is quite well-designed, especially the several indoor gardens which are staggered and really stand out. The gym equipment is relatively simple, and it is recommended to add more types of bars to the power rack, otherwise it's a waste. The lobby bar and restaurant decorations are quite nice.
• Room: This time I stayed in a suite, and the overall decoration was similar to the New World Hotel I stayed at before, with good visual and experiential effects.
✔️ Each room is equipped with a JBL Bluetooth speaker
✔️ The bed linens are comfortable
✔️ The quality of the bath amenities is quite good
✔️ The bathtub is large and reasonably shaped for a stable and comfortable soak
❌ The bath towels are not very good
❌ There is no smart voice control device or semi-automatic toilet
⭕️ Minibar items are uniformly priced at 8 yuan per bottle
There are still many details in the hardware that need to be improved, such as the broken indicators on the shower facilities. However, there was no noticeable smell of renovation, which is good!
• Service: The price is not particularly cheap, so the service needs to be considered. Overall, it was okay, especially the housekeeping staff and restaurant, which I found to be quite professional. The front desk needs improvement.
• Dining: Breakfast is 68 yuan per person and is actually quite good. The variety is not particularly rich, but it has everything you need. The noodle and egg stations are quite tasty (better than some 5-star hotels). After the concert, there are some affordable late-night snacks available.
Overall, it was actually quite good. There were surprises despite not having high expectations. If you're tired after watching a concert or a game, you can consider staying here, but there's no special need to check it out otherwise.

Budget travelers are moved to tears, you must stay at this place when you come to Chengdu!
AC Hotel
1. Arrival Experience
Upon arrival, there is a concierge to help open the door and take the luggage from the trunk. The front desk is enthusiastic and will proactively introduce various Moments of AC. After completing the check-in, they will take you to the elevator and introduce the facilities. You can choose one from three options: drinks and snacks, points, or breakfast. Since it is a newly opened hotel, there is some smell of decoration in the lobby and public areas, but it does not affect the overall stay experience.
2. Guest Room
This time, I stayed in an AC suite. The area is similar to that of Marriott or Renaissance, with all the necessary facilities and equipment. I was a bit surprised to find a JBL Horizon 2 at the bedside. The room design is maximized open-plan, making the room visually spacious. I really like their large sofa by the bed, which can accommodate an adult of 1.8m. No need to worry about an extra bed, very friendly for family guests. There are complimentary drinks and snacks on the coffee table by the window. The mini-bar is charged, all items are 8 yuan each. The comfort of the bedding is average, but acceptable compared to the room rate. At least I slept through the night without any discomfort upon waking up.
3. Bath
The suite is equipped with a bathtub and shower. The water pressure is strong, and the temperature is stable. I like their all-black hardware, which feels very textured.
4. Summary
Advantages:
1. Good location, next to the stadium, convenient for watching performances.
2. Overall facilities are new, with USB and Type-C charging ports at the bedside, meeting the current mainstream mobile phone charging needs.
3. Simple design, in line with the aesthetics of modern Gen Y and Z, suitable for check-ins.
Disadvantages:
1. The brand characteristics are not clear enough in the overall stay experience. Early promotion may need to strengthen and educate the market on what the AC brand is.
2. The quality of the dining needs to be improved and explored. This time I did not have an in-depth experience, looking forward to surprises next time.
3. As a newly opened hotel in 2024, it is understandable that there are no electric curtains or smart toilets, given the room rate. However, the TV not supporting screen casting is not very friendly to business guests.

Chengdu AC Hotel Experience
1️⃣ Located in Jinniu District, right next to the Phoenix Mountain Sports Stadium/Court, it's really convenient for watching games/concerts (see picture 8), and it's not far from the subway🚇.
2️⃣ The price of AC is really cheap, about 4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ or so, and the hotel feels very new. The rooms are wood-toned, giving an overall comfortable and warm feeling. The floors are wooden, without large areas of carpet, which I particularly like.
3️⃣ The room's sound system is still JBL, and there are welcome cupcakes🧁 and drinks🥤 provided upon check-in. The bedding is quite average. The hotel service attitude is very good, there are people to help press the elevator buttons, and the breakfast🍳 is quite good.

Who would believe that a four-star hotel in Chengdu is only 300+!
Can you believe it? The price of a four-star hotel in Chengdu is just over 300, and there are even better deals around 200 near the airport. If you haven't booked a hotel yet, hurry up and save this! Chengdu's cultural and tourism scene is really going crazy!
A newly opened hotel inside the Fenghuang Mountain Sports Park in Chengdu is just a few steps away from the ticket checkpoint, making it the perfect choice for traveling to concerts and sports games! They are really sincere, starting at only 400.
