It's such a laid-back, easygoing spot--perfect for unwinding. You can catch the sunset right from the bar, which makes the whole vibe even better. They usually host fun events like comedy nights and karaoke, and during the summer, they play movies out on the pool deck. Tonight I stopped by for a sangria workshop with Joscelyn, and she was fantastic. Super engaging, and I actually picked up a few great tips I'll be using again. read more

Wonderful location, but frustrating stay with odd design choices and very weak service. The biggest positive about AC Hotel Miami Dadeland is the location since it's directly connected to the mall, which is incredibly convenient. Unfortunately, much of the rest of the stay was frustrating from the start. Finding where to check in is confusing at first, and before arrival I called to ask if early check-in might be available. I explained that if a room wasn't ready, I'd spend time elsewhere before coming to the hotel. I was told they could not tell me unless I appeared in person, which served no practical purpose and was incredibly annoying. Even then, when I returned by 3:30 p.m. there was no room anyway and we sat in the tiny lobby with our bags. The front desk service was average at best. Not rude, but not welcoming either. I genuinely felt more tolerated than helped, and eventually just avoided interacting with them. I wasn't even told about any amenity they offered or even where the elevators were. Just got my key handed to me - not even telling me my room number. Having spent years working in hospitality many years ago this level of "service" stood out in a bad way. Also, the room layout is one of the strangest I've seen: The sink sits in the middle of the room rather than in the bathroom, so using it at night wakes anyone sleeping. The bathroom has a sliding door (not a pocket door) that remains partially open, and you can literally see the toilet from the bedroom. Privacy is almost nonexistent. Going to the bathroom is basically a team sport. Trash cans have no liners, and when we requested bags they were delivered but not installed. Housekeeping was inconsistent and usually incomplete. The bath mat was routinely left inside the shower, meaning turning on the water could soak it before you even stepped in. The housekeeping staff themselves weren't unfriendly, but they often stood in the hallway having loud conversations, which was disruptive. When you walk by the housekeeping team start doing random things like dusting signage so it seemed they were busy. One true bright spot: the bartender Jocelyn. She was fantastic, welcoming, and made excellent drinks (the Nutella martini is outstanding). Unfortunately, even that was dampened by an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bar bill. I normally tip 20% anyway, but a business deciding that I am going to tip and also the tip amount without clear advance notice is inappropriate and leaves a bad impression. Overall, the hotel feels highly overrated. The location is excellent, but the service, layout, and operational issues made the stay more frustrating than relaxing. I would stay somewhere else next time and simply come back to the bar which ironically the best part of the property. read more

This is a great choice for hotel if you're in the Deland area. I've stayed at another nearby Marriott, but on a recent trip opted for this one just to try something new. Although it's connected to the mall, you would never know it other than the parking garage. The hotel entry and check-in are completely separate from the mall. The lobby is quite small but the desk help was excellent. Major bonus is that parking is free! Rooms were to be expected, a little smaller than some other options but perfect for a single traveler or couple. They also have a fun lounge/bar area that some coworkers and I checked out for Bingo night. It was so fun and didn't hurt that we won multiple rounds! They have a variety of apps and an open bar area looking out to the pool. A great place to unwind at the end of the day. If I'm back in the saddened area, this will be my go to hotel! read more

This was a good stay. While the hotel was enjoyable the location was the selling point, a great running route shopping right around the corner and a covered parking lot. The massive loss was there was no breakfast. Even with status read more

I have to say that I love this hotel so much! It's usually my go to for work and personal travels because of the centric location they are on. If you are here to be closer to amazing food , this is the right place. Want to relax and enjoy the pool and bar? Also the right place. Need a place to work that's not your room? The 2nd floor has a desk with charging stations to work and relax. Don't want to pay for water? Use one of the water refills stations. Want something colder? Pass by the lobby and grab some snack or drinks and charge it to your room. Need extra housekeeping service or forgot a dental kit, comb, etc? Request it from the app. Don't want to use your room key? Use your phone to unlock it. Overall great place and will continue to use it as our go to stay! read more

This is a new hotel in the Miami area. It is attached to the mall that is next door on the 2nd floor. Clean and spacious rooms. Had a room with 2 double beds and a small sitting area. The bathroom is nice but the toilet seemed low to the ground. The pool and restaurant is on the 2nd floor and they offer a buffet breakfast for an extra fee. read more

I love all AC hotels but the one in Dadeland is one of my favorites. It's so conveniently located, right off the highway and attached to the mall! There is so much to do around the area, and even though it's away from the hustle and bustle of south beach or Wynwood, I still find that there is a lively atmosphere. This has become my go-to when traveling to Miami. The hotel is clean, and always busy. I like their gym, they have Peloton bikes to exercise in. I always see people at their bar and restaurant, literally at all times of the day. The rooms are simple, clean, modern, and comfy. read more

Had the most amazing time at Check in. The parking is free and I love the fact that the room has no carpet. Thank God for that. The room was cute. The bar is cute and the bartender was very friendly. I didn't get to go to the mall right next door but next time I will. read more

I added a note at the end of this! I've stayed at this hotel many times, but they are starting to let it slip in some areas. Example. The gym isn't being cleaned daily. Lack of towels and lack of disinfectant clothes to wipe down the machines afterwards. I tried to get a razor for two days and mentioned it to them on Sunday when I checked in. They just kept saying they were out. Not helpful at all. Most hotels, even the really bad ones have razors. The breakfast buffet is $21. Very expensive for so little. So I recommend going to a local restaurant. The people are nice but I did notice a change in the front desk staff. Typically they are there to answer questions etc. but on 3-4 occasions I waited for over 5 min waiting on someone to come out of the side room to check out my purchases for water. Also the refrigerator in the lobby with waters and perishables seemed to be warm. I wouldn't trust cheese, meat, yogurts or coconut water at that temp. Needs to be looked at for sure. Nice hotel and great location, but I have noticed some changes in the last 6 months. ***OMG. I JUST FINISHED Writing the review, and just happen to stop by and talk to the young lady at the front desk Carmen. She walked back there and grab razors. And the other guy for two days said they absolutely didn't have them. I would've given this a worst review, but Carmen made my day. What a great person and so friendly. Thank you Carmen. read more

This is a very upscale and beautiful hotel--ON THE INSIDE. Outside you couldn't get to the front without getting lost in the parking lot of the mall. After a few times here I finally got it but it's not easy for first timers. The hotel was very clean, COLD, and had great service. Everyone spoke Spanish so plan to be up on your Spanish. The mall conveniently is attached so you can shop and eat and relax. Rates were super high so plan to spend a pretty buck or come when it's not peak times. read more

Huge potential but lacking a bit... -Connected to Dadeland Mall which is very convenient. Nice restaurant choices and of course, shopping options. -Connection to mall meaning you walk directly into Macy's from second floor of hotel. This is nice when traveling for work. I felt safe. -Free parking is nice -Room was modern and clean. I especially like that there's no carpet. -Bathroom also nice, clean and modern but key items missing; no wash cloths and no soap/body wash in built in shower dispensers. They're literally completely empty. Not ideal! -Shower has dual function; rain shower head and handheld. Nice. -Bathroom also included makeup mirror, which is also a nice touch -Hotel seems to only have one functional elevator. Ended up taking the stairs most of the time. Less than ideal. -Fantastic service at bar even with only one server. Tuesday 9/10/24 6PM bartender is a great addition to this place. -Check in employee provided ZERO info about hotel, accommodations, etc... I would probably stay again, but I would check bathroom items before showering. read more

Out of words with this New Brand located behind Macys! AC HOTEL is the new hotel located in Dadeland Mall and it feels like new from the moment you walk in to do check in. At check in i received a discount for my night stay before booking our suite. Right across dadeland you have luxurious condos and you also have a mini mall with some small shops! The hotel is small but it seems like a boutique once you walk in which every typical Marriott has in Miami. The modem design of the rooms and lounge with the tan and the gray looks made it very relaxing. Every staff member downstairs in the lobby to us going up to the floors made themselves available for us at anytime which most hotels don't even have the service! The fitness center has everything you need for a full work out, we were able to put a work out in because we only stayed for a one night stay to have a relaxing time but we are definitely looking forward to going for a weekend stay at this hotel again! The pool is in a very small area but it looks luxurious with outdoor access to the full bar and food. Felt like a home of a rich friend in an island! The room rate was reasonable for a one night stay. The parking was free! Oh AND we were told that theirs no guest fee like in Miami Beach or in Brickell to bring a guest if we were able to come next time! But once again im amazed by this hotel! Coming back again! read more

This is a beautiful new hotel outside the Dadeland mall. When you walk into the lobby, it smells like you're entering a spa. lol The room that I booked had two queen beds. It was very spacious, and the bathroom was a great size as well. They have "hydration stations" (ice and water machine) and microwaves on every other floor. The rooftop pool has cabanas for guests. I didn't have time to hang out though. The restaurant and bar are on the 2nd floor. There was something going on there every evening. It seemed like business parties. So I didn't eat there. They also have a morning buffet there. I think it was $19 per person. I just wanted coffee. So I went to Starbucks instead. This hotel touts itself as having a European style with a modern feel. I guess that's pretty accurate. I was only there for two nights for work. So I didn't get to hang out like I wanted. I would definitely stay here again if I come back because it's so close to the mall and the airport. read more

Eduardo and Tawnia checked me in and ensured that I was well taken care of. They found out I was celebrating my birthday and went out of their way to make my trip special. I really appreciate them going above and beyond to ensure my stay was excellent. My favorite part of staying here was being so close to the mall, which gave tons of great dining options. I also loved that parking was free. Bed was so comfortable. Drinks from the AC lounge were terrific. I can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Miami read more

This is a great bar with a nice view. It has a lovely ambiance and the menu is decent. The reason why it doesn't have a 5 star review is because there are no wine or beer lists. Our amazing bartender Jocelyn, as awesome as she is, was busy and unable to tell us the whole list. I understand that the hotel is new, 2 and a half years. But a beer and wine list would be helpful to the patrons that would frequent this bar. Please consider in adding a beer and wine list to the bar area!!! read more

Felt very safe during our 3 nights in this clean and modern hotel. Great location, easy access in and out and close to the freeways. Comfy beds, spacious bathroom and well lit rooms. Hydration stations on each floor providing ice and water. Small fridge in the room. Easy access returning after a late night by parking on the 3rd floor. The hotel shares the parking garage with the Dadeland Mall and it's free parking! Easy 15 minute drive to MIA. Small outdoor pool with pool towels. read more

Most Underrated New Brand AC Dadeland is a new hotel and looks and feels like it. It's located in a suburban setting attached to a huge Macy's and Dadeland Mall. At check-in we received discount coupons and mall VIP cards etc (this place has the most elaborate Neiman Marcus I've ever seen). Across the street are upscale condos and other retail. The hotel it's self is small by Miami standards. It feels and looks boutique yet everything is in place like you'd find at a Marriot. The minimal modern design of the rooms and lounge with tans and grays made it very relaxing. Every staff member acknowledged us. It felt like there was always someone available 24-7 for whatever we needed. The fitness center has everything you need for a full workout. The pool area was small, but looked luxurious with outdoor access to the full bar and food. Felt like the home of a rich friend. The room rate was reasonable. Parking was FREE and secure with third floor access steps away from the lounge entrance. Oh, and there's NO $40 A NIGHT "GUEST FEEEEEE" like Brickell and South Beach. read more

In fairness this leans closer to a 3.5/5 stars than a flat 3 but the pros were aligned with my expectations and cons disappointed relative to the price. Pros: - airport proximity - mall access - killer gym - nice staff Cons: - room was very dirty, specifically the floor - no hand soap in the rooms? - shower controls were super funky and not intuitive read more

Very clean and well put together rooms . Staff was very friendly and helpful . Property is very well kept .

For the hotel itself I'd give it a 3 1/2 but because of their bar Manager, Jos, is an amazing mixologist. Great conversation, amazing drinks, best whiskey sours I've ever had. Thank you, Jos! read more

Stay away! You'll find much better for the same price elsewhere in Miami. I've had an outrageous experience where the hotel charged me to my card for my reservation when I had already reserved/booked and paid for everything! Long story short, I paid twice for my stay and the hotel claims they have reimbursed me but they have not! This is outrageous, it is completely unacceptable that first, you charge to the guests cards without a notice and second, your staff are that incompetent! read more

I had an amazing stay at this location for my trip to Miami this past weekend. The room was clean, had a very trendy design, and was very cozy. Alexia was SUPER helpful! I had a few issues with my flight being delayed and she anticipated every one of my needs down to the T! You don't find employees like that very often. The entire hotel was beautiful. They even allow for a late check out if needed. I will most definitely be back soon. I'll be sure to try out the pool/restaurants they have next time! read more

Stayed at the hotel this weekend, wouldn't recommend not staying here as long as your aware of some small short comings. This is a new hotel that fits the European design vibe they advertise. So you are getting what you are paying for in a good way, and maybe a little more value on some ways. I like that check in is done at a different floor and the main area to enter is accessible from the parking deck. The lobby area has a nice bar, a cute shallow pool, and area to sit down with guests and social. There is also the breakfast area behind closed doors and conference rooms. You will find the gym in the lobby area close to check in. The rooms are new and our was pretty clean. I hate this European design of the bathroom, if I'm sharing the room with someone. You have absolutely no privacy with the sliding glass doors and when one person is sleeping all the lights shine through the glass doors, which can be a disruption for light sleepers. The shower faucets have a slight learning curve, which isn't a big deal. The staff can either be incredibly nice or absolutely rude depending on the employee. You can see that some are incredibly nice to Spanish speaking clientele but absolutely rude to people who are Hispanic. I've been told it's very Miami for that to happen, but I don't expect to stay at a place with behavior like this again. Sad, I really wanted this to be hotel I came back to. read more

Great location and room was spacious.(paid extra for elevated room on the 2nd floor) Cost of 400.00 per night. Upon arrival the room had an oder and had to be sprayed. Only one coffee for morning use. No room service provided. We are Marriott Bonvoy members and aesthetically it is comparable to other hotels in this portfolio but service is sorely lacking. Will not return. read more
