About this venue
AC Hotel Orlando Downtown is a sleek, design-focused, and urban lifestyle hotel that offers a sophisticated, adult-oriented alternative to Orlando's traditional family-centric resorts.Elevated inside the SunTrust Plaza building right in the beating heart of the city's urban core, this property has quickly become a premier home base for LGBTQ+ travelers visiting during massive annual events like Come Out With Pride. The crown jewel of the hotel is the stunning AC Sky Bar on the 18th floor.
