If you’re looking for luxury accommodations with a relaxing vibe, then AC Hotel Portsmouth is the place for you and your family. This upscale Marriott hotel manages to combine a modern, urban feel with the seaside sensibilities of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, into one beautifully appointed hotel that offers the best of both old and new for every visitor who walks through its doors.
I got the chance to experience this wonderful hotel on my recent trip to Portsmouth this summer, and I can honestly say that AC Hotel has set the standard by which I’ll be judging all other hotels in the future. From the moment I stepped into the lobby to the moment I left, I was surrounded by luxurious, posh accommodations, gorgeous views, and an atmosphere of relaxation, all of which were further accentuated by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff at the hotel.
About AC Hotel Portsmouth
AC Hotel Portsmouth is part of the Marriott family of hotels, so you know they’re doing things right. Located on the water and just within walking distance from vibrant Market Square, the historic downtown district overflowing with restaurants, galleries, shops, and entertainment, the hotel isn’t just comfortable; it’s a prime hub for any trip to the area. Don’t let that fool you into thinking this hotel is just for those who love the sprawl of vibrant city life. Just minutes from the hotel, you’ll find ample outdoor adventure opportunities like kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, fishing, and more. You’ll even be able to easily schedule tours of the beautiful Isles of Shoals, which are just minutes from the hotel.
Venture out a bit further, and you’ll find yourself in Boston, an hour to the south or Portland, Maine, an hour to the north. Of course these are just two of the many beautiful New England spots you can explore with the hotel as your home base. This hotel is literally just moments away from almost anything you’d want to see or do in the area.
