Why Choose ACL London for Your Hotel’s Air Conditioning Needs?
Installing or upgrading an HVAC system in a live hotel environment is a complex undertaking. It requires more than just technical skill; it demands discretion, meticulous planning, and a profound understanding of the unique operational challenges of the hospitality sector. This is where ACL London excels.
Unrivalled Hospitality Sector Experience
We aren’t a generic commercial installer. We are hotel climate control specialists. Our portfolio includes successful, large-scale installations for a discerning clientele who demand perfection. We have worked extensively with global brands like Marriot and Hilton, adhering to their strict brand standards, operational protocols, and project timelines.

Bespoke System Design & Engineering
A one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate for the diverse needs of a modern hotel. ACL London provides a completely bespoke service, beginning with a comprehensive site survey and energy assessment. We analyse your building’s architecture, occupancy patterns, and specific requirements to design a system that is perfectly optimised for performance and efficiency. Whether it’s a new build, a major refurbishment, or a system upgrade, our solutions are engineered for excellence.

Partnership with World-Leading Brands
To deliver the best, we work with the best. ACL London is an accredited installer for the world’s most respected air conditioning manufacturers. Our strong partnerships with brands like Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, and others give you access to:
- Cutting-Edge Technology: Industry-leading VRV/VRF systems, high-efficiency chilled water solutions, and smart controls.
- Superior Reliability: Equipment renowned for its durability and low failure rates, minimising downtime.
- Comprehensive Warranties: The peace of mind that comes from manufacturer-backed parts and labour guarantees.
Focus on Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
Energy consumption is one of the largest operational expenditures for any hotel. Our primary goal is to design systems that dramatically reduce your carbon footprint and energy bills. By installing modern, high-efficiency VRV systems or optimising chilled water plants, our clients typically see a significant return on investment through reduced running costs. This not only improves profitability but also strengthens your brand’s commitment to sustainability—a key factor for today’s environmentally conscious guests and corporate clients.
Our Specialist Hotel Air Conditioning Solutions
We have the expertise to deliver the ideal climate solution for every area of your hotel, from individual guest rooms to large-scale event spaces.
Advanced VRV / VRF Systems for Ultimate Flexibility and Efficiency
Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) or Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology is the gold standard for modern hotels. These systems are exceptionally efficient and flexible, making them a perfect choice for buildings with diverse and fluctuating occupancy loads.
- Zoned Control: Provide individual temperature control for each guest room, suite, and common area, maximising personalised comfort.
- Simultaneous Heating & Cooling: Heat-recovery VRV systems can use waste heat extracted from cooling one area (e.g., a server room or gym) to provide free heating or hot water to another, delivering extraordinary energy savings.
- Scalability: A single modular outdoor unit can serve dozens of indoor units, making it ideal for phased installations and future expansion. We are experts in designing and installing large-scale VRV systems from leading brands like Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric.
High-Capacity Chilled Water Systems for Large-Scale Hotels
For London’s largest and most iconic hotels, a chilled water system (or chiller plant) is often the most effective and efficient solution for providing cooling on a massive scale. These systems use chilled water, circulated through pipes to air handling units (AHUs) or fan coil units (FCUs), to cool the air.
- Exceptional Power & Capacity: Capable of conditioning vast spaces like ballrooms, conference centres, and entire hotel wings from a central plant.
- Long-Term Reliability: Chillers are robust, durable pieces of equipment designed for a long operational lifespan.
- Centralised Management: Integrates seamlessly with your Building Management System (BMS) for centralised control and performance monitoring. ACL London has extensive experience in the installation, replacement, and upgrading of hotel chiller systems.
Discreet & Quiet Guest Room Solutions
The in-room experience is critical. We install a wide range of sleek, modern indoor units that prioritise both aesthetics and performance.
- Wall-Mounted Units: Stylish, quiet, and user-friendly units offering powerful climate control in a compact form factor.
- Ducted Concealed Units: For the ultimate in luxury and invisible design, concealed units deliver conditioned air through discreet ceiling or wall grilles, with only a smart controller visible.
- Floor-Standing Units: An excellent option for rooms where wall space is limited or for integration into custom joinery.
