European style and Spanish roots, The new AC Hotel Irvine

May 18, 2017

Sophisticated European style and Spanish roots, just arrived in OC in the form of a boutique hotel. The new AC Hotel Irvine in the Park Place development is perfect for those who appreciate locally inspired art and modern guest rooms, in a walkable neighborhood with innovative restaurant concepts, including Puesto, a contemporary eatery serving Mexico City-inspired cuisine debuting later this summer within the hotel building. There’s even easy access bike share stations, and hiking and running trails in Great Park.

The hotel features a heated pool on its second floor, complimentary Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art fitness center, and hydration stations on each guest room floor.

Guests who need to have meeting spaces chance chose from two intimate, audiovisual-equipped media salons for up to eight people, and a 500-square-foot Meeting Room for up to 40. For convenience, there are wireless service buttons called Kallpods, so that guests can immediately ask for a staff member’s attention.

The hotel bar and lounge serves beer from local breweries, specialty wines by the bottle and on tap, expertly made craft cocktails and a selection of tapas-style small bites. The lounge’s signature cocktail, The Swedish Fish, was developed with Orange County’s first craft distillery, Blinking Owl, and is a unique infusion of the Scandinavian spirit, Aquavit and garnished with its namesake candy. In the morning, AC Kitchen serves a European-inspired continental breakfast selection of flaky croissants, savory egg tarts and Nespresso coffee. The Berkel slicer, an AC Hotels staple, offers visitors hand-cut meats including artisanal La Quercia Prosciutto for a true taste of Spain.

The AC Store, open 24 hours, also offers a selection of beverages including Four Sons Brewery beer, Cutwater spirits, wine by the bottle and soft drinks as well as a variety of premium snacks and sweets.
