AC Hotel by Marriott Vancouver Waterfront

Modern riverfront comfort just across from Portland's music scene

AC Hotel by Marriott Vancouver Waterfront brings European-inspired style to the scenic Columbia Riverfront in downtown Vancouver, WA. With clean lines, modern décor, and a relaxing atmosphere, this hotel is a polished launchpad for concert-goers heading into Portland—just 7 to 9 miles away from major venues like the Moda Center and Oregon Convention Center.

Guests enjoy a mix of upscale amenities like a fitness center, on-site restaurant, bar, and a spa and wellness center, all wrapped in riverside calm that's still close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key—this hotel puts you within a short drive or rideshare of Portland’s top concert venues while letting you unwind in a quieter waterfront setting post-show. The 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff are ready to help at any hour, and the check-in time of 4:00 PM gives you plenty of time to settle in before an evening gig. Being just 5 miles from Portland International Airport is a bonus for out-of-town fans flying in for the night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish home base near Portland without Portland prices
• Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list show and wanting a safe, quiet place to crash
• Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert night
• Fans seeking recovery space after a loud night, with spa and terrace views
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options—perfect for pre- or post-show meals. While there's no 24/7 room service, the on-site bar and nearby dining in downtown Vancouver give you late-night options. Breakfast is available, which is ideal after a long night of dancing or singing along.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more relaxed, you’ll find several bars and lounges within walking distance along the waterfront. The on-site bar is a stylish spot to sip a local craft cocktail before heading out or winding down afterward. If you're craving more action, Portland's nightlife is just a quick ride away.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean, modern design, friendly staff, and beautiful riverfront views. Many note that the hotel feels like a peaceful retreat after a busy night out. The location near Portland without being right in the hustle gets high marks for balance.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a bit limited during busy times, and some guests have noted that rooms facing the street might pick up early morning activity. Also, if you’re looking for a true party vibe, this is more of a chill spot than a high-energy nightlife hub.

The Bottom Line

Sleek, quiet, and close to Portland’s top venues—AC Hotel by Marriott Vancouver Waterfront is a smart choice for concert-goers who want comfort and convenience with a view.
