The AC Hotel’s lobby is on the second floor of the Otis Hotel. The elevator to that part of the hotel is on the left hand side of the Otis behind their check-in desk. We visited in May and the AC Hotel’s bar and restaurant are closed for the summer. You do have full access to the Otis Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant.
