Looking for a hotel in Madison, Wisconsin? You’ve got to stay at the AC Hotel Madison Downtown. European inspired design, sleek, modern and stylish. This is where you want to be.
About two weeks ago, my husband and I had a great pleasure of visiting and staying at the new AC Hotel in Madison. It was the grand opening weekend and everything was done in style. From the moment we walked into the beautiful and modern hotel, with the front desk to the left and the AC Lounge on the right, we knew this hotel stay was going to be fabulous.
There was a lot of anticipation (and high expectations) waiting for this new hotel to open and I think the new AC Hotel delivered across the board. The lobby area and AC Lounge are stunning with large wall to wall windows so you get the most beautiful views of downtown and the Wisconsin State Capitol.
It’s the perfect blend of classic style and modern comfort. Born in Spain and perfected in Europe’s most sophisticated cities, the AC Hotel concept is elegant in its simplicity, providing absolutely everything that busy guests need for a comfortable and relaxing visit.
Before going up to the restaurant, I wanted to put my bags down and check out my guest room. The modern European guest rooms are sleek, clean and modern. I loved the minimalist style and decor. Everything in the room was perfect!
The AC Hotel in Madison has two bar/lounge areas. One on the main lobby floor and one on the 10th floor, the Eno Vino Wine Bar & Bistro.
We dined at Eno Vino the first night and enjoyed a delicious dinner of gnocchi, sea bass and scallops, chicken lollipops, truffled fries, sweet potato tempura, brussels sprouts, an amazing pork belly BLT and more! I feel like we literally tasted everything on the menu. It was beyond delicious!
The best thing about the 10th floor, in addition to the excellent food and cocktails, was the view! My photo does not do the view justice. The view at dinner was absolutely stunning.
The next morning, I ventured over to the AC Kitchen, where they had croissants, artisan cured meats, sweet & savory egg tarts and Nespresso Coffee. I loved the breakfast set-up and I loved that I could just walk over whenever I wanted to eat and everything was there waiting for me. And the staff was friendly, helpful and so courteous! Both mornings, they made sure I had my soy milk for my Nespresso Coffee and made sure I had everything I needed.
The AC Hotel Madison exceeded all of my expectations! Whenever we have friends or other out of town guests coming for a visit, I am absolutely recommending this hotel. It’s also in the best location ever. Right in the heart of downtown.
If you’re ever in the Madison, Wisconsin area, you need to swing by and take a look for yourself and stop into the AC Lounge for a drink. While we were there, we had the best Gin & Tonic ever! It was so good, I bought all of the ingredients and made it again the following week.
Cheers to the AC Hotel Madison for a brilliantly beautiful and stunning grand opening event, party and hotel! We will definitely be back again and because I loved my stay so much, AC Hotels will be the first hotels I look into when we travel to different cities!
