A new era of modern hospitality and urban energy is officially underway in the heart of downtown Coeur d’Alene. Providence Development LLC has broken ground on the highly anticipated AC Hotel by Marriott, Coeur d’Alene, a $25 million project set to open in early summer 2027. This stylish new hotel represents a significant private investment in the city’s core, offering future residents and visitors a glimpse of the sophisticated, amenity-rich lifestyle that defines this growing North Idaho community.

Slated for 602 E. Sherman Avenue, the hotel will bring 126 custom-designed guest rooms to the downtown area, directly adjacent to the Parkside Tower. For families and professionals considering a move to Coeur d’Alene, this project underscores the city’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable growth and enhanced urban living.

“We are mobilized and progressing rapidly,” said Parker Lange, Development Manager for Bozeman-based Providence Development LLC. “With permits secured, we’re beginning excavation for underground parking and are on track to open our doors in 2027. This hotel is designed to be a seamless part of the downtown fabric.”

A Modern Hub for Lifestyle and Convenience

The AC Hotel Coeur d’Alene is designed to be more than just a place for visitorsm, its amenities contribute to the vibrant downtown scene that attracts new residents. Key features that elevate the quality of life in Coeur d’Alene include:

• A stunning rooftop bar and patio offering panoramic views of downtown and the surrounding area.

• Onsite underground parking, addressing downtown accessibility.

• A state-of-the-art fitness center and guest laundry facilities.

• Flexible boardroom and meeting spaces for professionals and community events.

Approximately 55% of the rooms will feature king-size beds, with the remainder offering two queen-size beds, catering to both business travelers and families exploring the region as a potential future home.

Synergy with Major Downtown Development

The AC Hotel project is a cornerstone in a wave of transformative development enhancing downtown Coeur d’Alene real estate and appeal. Just blocks away, Hagadone Hospitality Co.’s planned $48 million Sherman Tower expansion of the Coeur d’Alene Resort is also slated for a 2027 opening. That 15-story tower will add 139 guest rooms, a signature restaurant, and retail space, further solidifying downtown as a premier destination.

Together, these projects signal strong confidence in the region’s economy and are set to create new hospitality and service-sector jobs, adding to the robust job market in Coeur d’Alene.

Designed for the North Idaho Aesthetic

The hotel’s design is a collaborative effort led by Salt Lake City’s Richardson Design Partnership, with Missoula-based Dick Anderson Construction as the general contractor. Local expertise is provided by Coeur d’Alene’s own Lake City Engineering, ensuring the structure fits both the community’s character and its technical needs.

A Welcome Sign for the Future

For individuals and families looking at moving to Coeur d’Alene, the groundbreaking of the AC Hotel by Marriott is a tangible sign of the city’s progressive trajectory. It highlights a focus on sophisticated amenities, urban convenience, and strategic investment—key ingredients for a thriving community.

“This project is about providing a modern, elevated experience right in the heart of our beautiful downtown,” Lange added. “We’re building not just a hotel, but a destination that complements why people choose to live, work, and play here.”
