AC Hotels by Marriott is preparing to open a new hotel with several on-site dining options in Goodyear, located along McDowell Road in the heart of Goodyear Civic Square at GSQ.
The four-story hotel, developed by Baywood Hotels, will feature 135 modern guest rooms designed for both business and leisure travelers, according to the City of Goodyear. The hotel will include a lounge, bar, dining options, a business center, and an outdoor pool, perfect for guests looking to enjoy the Arizona sunshine. With over 1,200 square feet of meeting space, this location will be ideal for business gatherings and small events. The hotel will open by the end of 2026
“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 reflects our brand’s values,” BJ Patel, Senior Vice President, Baywood Hotels, said in a news release. “Our goal is to create a destination that enhances local hospitality, fosters job opportunities, and contributes to the city’s thriving economy. We are excited to be part of Goodyear’s future and to provide visitors and residents with a unique and memorable stay experience.”
Baywood Hotels acquired 1.5 acres in Goodyear in December for $2.7 million to develop a new hotel. The AC Hotels will have a view of a two-acre park and will be just steps away from recently opened dining options. Restaurants such as The Stillery and Copper & Sage are now open to the public at GSQ, while Shake Shack, Over Easy, and an 8,500-square-foot High Tide Seafood Bar & Grill are currently under construction. Additionally, the hotel will complement the nearby Banner Health Center.
“I could not be more excited that AC Hotels has chosen to come to Goodyear,” Mayor Joe Pizzillo said in a news release. “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.”
