Crescent Hotels & Resorts has announced the official opening of the dual-branded AC Hotel by Marriott Symphony Park and Element by Westin Symphony Park in Las Vegas.
Developed by Jackson-Shaw and managed by Crescent, the property is the first non-gaming hotel in the Symphony Park district and the only dual-branded hotel in the city. It also sets a global record as the largest combined AC/Element property in the world.
Located across from The Smith Center for the Performing Arts and World Market, and just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, the hotel aims to offer guests proximity to the city’s cultural core while steering away from its traditional gaming-centric model. The two-in-one property integrates the European-inspired design of AC Hotels with Element’s wellness-focused concept under one roof.
Distinctive Features and Cultural Integration
The property offers 18,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including the largest unobstructed ballroom in the Las Vegas Arts District. Amenities include a saltwater pool, piano lounge, and filtered water stations, reflecting Element’s health-forward design and AC’s signature modern aesthetic. The hotel is positioned to attract both leisure and business travelers looking for refined experiences beyond the Strip.
Enhancing its cultural alignment with Symphony Park, the hotel will debut a 19-foot steel sculpture by local artist Larry Domsky. Known for his prominent glass and metal installations, Domsky’s latest work was conceived, designed, and fabricated entirely in Las Vegas. His portfolio includes public commissions for Harry Reid International Airport, Vegas PBS, and the Las Vegas Municipal Courthouse.
Crescent’s Expansion in the Las Vegas Market
With a strong operational track record in the city, Crescent Hotels & Resorts brings extensive management expertise to the new development. “This landmark opening is history in the making,” the company stated in its announcement, underscoring the hotel’s role as a growth catalyst for the Symphony Park district.
The area surrounding the property is undergoing significant transformation, including planned cultural and residential developments such as a new art museum and the 32-story Cello Tower. The AC/Element hotel is expected to complement this evolving neighborhood while setting a new precedent for non-gaming hospitality in the region.
Situated just blocks from Fremont Street and within a seven-minute drive to the Strip, the hotel combines convenience with cultural immersion. Its dual-brand structure enables Marriott to appeal to a wide spectrum of travelers, from those seeking extended-stay accommodations to guests favoring short-term urban stays.
As Las Vegas diversifies beyond its entertainment and gaming roots, the opening of the AC Hotel and Element by Westin in Symphony Park marks a strategic shift toward modern, culturally integrated hospitality offerings. With Crescent at the helm, the hotel is positioned to become a central feature in the city’s next phase of tourism development.
