Orange Beach’s First Beachfront Rooftop Lounge Coming to AC Hotel

Alabama’s Gulf Coast has long been known for its iconic beachfront spots — the Flora-Bama, The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub, and newer favorites like Coastal Orange Beach and The Gulf. What it has never had, until now, is a true rooftop lounge overlooking the sugar-white sand and emerald water.
