History
[edit]In 1997, Antonio Catalán founded AC Hoteles C. A. after selling his 35% share inNH Hotel Group.[1]
In 2005, business austerity measures resulted in conference cancellations and widespread bans on business trips for several years. The downturn forced AC to team with a major Spanish rival in 2009 in a management deal that cut costs at both chains. The chain rebranded after a needed, but undisclosed, investment by Marriott. A new joint company assumed the management, but property ownerships remained with existing parties.[2][5]
Since June 8, 2011, AC Hotels by Marriott has operated as a subsidiary ofMarriott International,and is now based at Marriott's headquarters inBethesda, Maryland.Catalán remained as AC Hotels' president.[6]
