    AC Milano is great. I stayed last year and had a great experience. It’s very much like a Kimpton in style and atmosphere. I would stay there again.

    Any idea what happened to AC Diplomatic in Barcelona?

  • Ric Garrido November 11, 2011

    Marriott website states Diplomatic Hotel Barcelona will not participate in Marriott Rewards until April 2012.

    From website it looks like it will not be branded AC Hotel.

    we stayed at the AC Hotel in Genoa, italy, were pgraded to a suite( gold selite statue), minibar softdrinks, juice, water, very nice breakfast for italian standards, then at the AC in Florence which is a perfect location for Florence!!! a 10 to 15 minute walk along the river to all of the sights, garage parking is cheaper than on the parking lot( city owned), the best breakfsat we had, minbar, as above, the AC in Arezzo about 60 kms southeast ofFlorence … well, out of the rally nice town in an industrial area, rooms are ok, there is a steam bath, breakfast horrible( cheap stuff, noninterested servers) wouldn’t go again, AC Bologna, great location between fairgrounds and city center, minibar, as obove, great breakfast, really good for a stay in that wonderful area. The AC in Brescia was on our list, but we couldn’t make it, at least we can say, that the location is great, just a short stroll into the old part of the city….
