Marriott AC Hotel — El Segundo, CA

Architect: AXIS/GFA Architecture + Design

The AC Hotel Los Angeles South Bay is a six-story, 180-key new-build hotel located in El Segundo, a growing hub near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Developed and managed by the local Welcome Group, the project contributes to the area's ongoing transformation into a mixed-use destination for business and leisure. The structure accommodates guestrooms, amenity spaces, and a rooftop restaurant—Flora—which offers panoramic views and an open-air dining experience. Situated in a region known for its aerospace legacy, the building’s form responds to its context with clean lines and modern massing. The project integrates hospitality programming into a dense urban fabric while meeting structural demands for seismic safety, vertical circulation, and rooftop occupancy.
