Sophisticated high-rise hotel

Perched at the top of the highest skyscraper in Croatia, the new AC Hotel by Marriott Split opened its doors within the 135-metre-tall Westgate Tower in Split. The new luxury hotel was designed by renowned architect Otto Barić, while the lobby was adorned with artworks of local artists.

The contemporary minimalist design in 214 meticulously crafted guest rooms and suites allows guests to use the space in the way that suits them best. From their rooms, hotel guests can enjoy the view of the Roman aqueduct, dating back more than 1700 years. Stunning views of the sea and the cityscape open up from every room.

Cumano Bar offers a variety of creative cocktails and time classics with a modern twist, including the signature AC Gin Tonic.

Other facilities include the 178 SPA with an indoor pool, sauna and steam room and 325 square meters of meeting space that can accommodate up to 240 people. On the 17th floor, a modern gym awaits guests. AC Hotels has more than 225 hotels in 31 countries in its portfolio.

A new chapter for Split's hotel industry

“The opening of AC Hotel by Marriott Split marks an exciting chapter for the local hotel industry, especially since Marriott International is debuting the AC brand in Croatia. We hope to make a significant contribution to the economic growth of the region through the attraction of business and tourist guests and the development of corporate partnerships. Also, we are looking forward to the first guests at AC Hotel by Marriott Split,“ commented Ljubica Bauk, General Manager of AC Hotel by Marriott Split.
