Hotel to open in Goodyear’s downtown

AC Hotels by Marriott has announced plans to open a new location in the GSQ district, a growing area in Goodyear’s downtown.

“We chose Goodyear for our AC by Marriott development because of its vibrant growth, welcoming community, and its position within a high-quality development that aligns with our brand’s values,” said BJ Patel, senior vice president of Baywood Hotels, which will operate the hotel.

The four-story hotel will feature 135 guest rooms, designed for both business and leisure travelers. Amenities will include a lounge, bar, dining options, a business center, and an outdoor pool. With more than 1,200 square feet of meeting space, the hotel will accommodate business gatherings and small events.

"I could not be more excited that AC Hotels has chosen to come to Goodyear," said Goodyear Mayor Joe Pizzillo. "Our new downtown is quickly becoming a destination for not just locals, but for visitors as well who will be able to experience great food, entertainment and a great stay all in one location."

The hotel will be located within GSQ, a 150-acre district developed in partnership between the city and Globe Corp., a family-owned business. The district will feature restaurants, retail spaces, housing options, and more.

The AC Hotel will be situated near Goodyear Civic Square, with views of a two-acre park. It will also be close to new dining and nightlife options, including The Stillery, Bacchus Wine Bar, and Copper & Sage, as well as the nearby Banner Health Center.

The hotel is expected to open by the end of 2026, creating up to 30 permanent jobs. Other AC Hotels locations in the Valley include properties in the Biltmore, downtown Phoenix, and downtown Tempe.
