The hotel's exterior architectural design is inspired by the world's intangible cultural heritage "Sichuan Brocade". The changing curved surface is smooth and graceful, showing a unique weaving texture, echoing the modern fashionable and sporty atmosphere of Phoenix Mountain Sports Park, creating a design-rich modern residence for guests.

Guests can also enjoy AC Hotel's signature lavender turndown service, which includes receiving lavender sachets in the lobby, and ensuring a peaceful sleep in the carefully prepared floral fragrance.

The hotel features a series of multifunctional shared spaces. These include the all-day dining restaurant AC Kitchen, which serves Spanish-style dishes and local Chengdu specialties as breakfast; AC Lounge features an outdoor terrace, which is an ideal place for guests to enjoy alfresco dining, relax or work during the day. At night, it transforms into a lively bar, where guests can relax and enjoy local crafts, wines and cocktails, as well as AC Hotel's signature gin tonic.

The hotel houses a multi-functional space, including a 188-square-meter function room and a 50-square-meter boardroom, making it suitable for a wide range of social gatherings and business events.
