AC Hotel Torino, Italy [Master Thread]
Arrived today at the AC Torino. At reception the director apologized personally that the AC Hotels are not yet fully integrated. The hotel is very nice, a big lobby, the rooms are big and clean. The minibar is free (soft drinks only), and the breakfast as well. It's a bit difficult to get to because of the many one-way streets, but it's a good quality hotel on par with Renaissance (or even better).
Only Swisscom's Internet Ripoff is a bit annoying (22 EUR per day)...

Greetings - I hope to clear up some confusion with the recent launch of AC Hotels by Marriott.
The Guaranteed Lounge Access/Free Continental Breakfast benefit for Gold and Platinum Elite members is not available at AC Hotels by Marriott. This benefit remains only available in the Concierge/Executive/Club Lounge at participating JW Marriott, Autograph Collection, Renaissance Hotels and Marriott Hotels & Resorts locations worldwide. However, in celebration of the new brand launch of AC Hotels by Marriott back in May, the hotels have been offering a complimentary breakfast buffet on two-day stays through January 8, 2012, using promotion code: PKG.
Safe travels, Andy

Good, but not great
I stayed there on Tuesday night
Like most AC Hotels in Italy; its a beautiful, contemporary furnished hotel, in a "rough" part of town
Most rates I've seen include breakfast, thereby avoiding the "where's my free breakfast" discussion
Golds get free wifi (voucher code per device)
I'm happy to stay there for 1/2 nights, for a longer stay, I'd be tempted to venture outside MR

Besides no breakfast and no lounge, there's also no bathrobe, no tissues, no soap for the shower, no complimentary water bottle, no view, and no ice machine (ok, standard for Europe, but I can still hope). The minibar apparently was once free, but no longer is (or maybe it was never free when using points, as I was). For us Americans who like ice, you have to go down to the bar and ask (and perhaps wait a while for someone to show up).
It seems no better than a typical courtyard.

I must admit that your experience was considerably worse than mine (I stay there 6/7 nights a year (€, not points) - always get upgraded to a Deluxe room... Perhaps their view on award nights means no upgrade
(Having said that, the soap, tissues thing sounds like a housekeeping malfunction - unless you missed the "golf ball" soaps..)

Marriott AC Torino
Hi all
Going to Turin in a few weeks and staying at the AC Torino. Wondering if anyone else has visited and has an idea of what to expect.
Also, I have state with Marriott Gold status through Amex Platinum following the Starwood merger - what does this get me at AC hotels?
Thanks
James
