Hard hats never looked so good. 👷‍♀️✨

On Thursday, May 14, Kinseth Hospitality hosted a hard hat tour at the AC Hotel Cedar Rapids, and let's just say, the excitement on-site was as high as the floors going up.

Situated at 150 2nd Avenue SW within the Kingston Yard District, this project marks the first new hotel to be built in downtown Cedar Rapids in nearly 50 years. We were proud to welcome guests on-site to see the work firsthand and share in this milestone for our city.

When complete in 2026, the AC Hotel by Marriott will feature:
☑️ 123 modern guest rooms
☑️ An AC lobby bar with outdoor patio
☑️ 2,300 sq ft of flexible meeting space
☑️ Abundant natural light throughout public spaces and guest rooms
☑️ An outdoor firepit and patio
☑️ European-inspired AC Kitchen breakfast
☑️ Walkable access to Big Grove Brewery, Pickle Palace, and Kingston Yard's public plaza

Thank you to all who joined us and to our partners who continue to make this vision a reality. We look forward to welcoming Cedar Rapids, and the world, through these doors.
