RAM Hotels marked an exciting milestone with a topping out ceremony for the AC Hotel by Marriott Auburn, a transformative project for the city’s downtown core. The six-story, 129-room hotel broke ground in April. The project represents a $30 million investment and will create 80 new jobs. Located beside AuburnBank, the AC Hotel will feature Olivine, a rooftop bar and restaurant. RAM Hotels, led by President and CEO Rinkesh Patel and Vice President Matt Patel, has the goal of building guest satisfaction and achieving operational excellence, driving each of its properties to optimal performance. The company, based in Columbus, operates several hotels in East Alabama and West Georgia, including the Auburn Courtyard Mariott.
