Construction of a $20-million AC By Marriott hotel is scheduled to begin early next month on Route 2 in Cambridge.

The 150-room hotel, which is part of Marriott’s European-influenced brand, is expected to be complete in June 2016, Cambridge Discovery Park owner Bulfinch Cos. of Needham announced this week.

The hotel will include an AC Lounge, meeting and media spaces, a fitness center and pool.

“With a focus on innovation and design, the AC Hotel brand is directly aligned with the vision for the campus.” Robert Schlager, president of Bulfinch, said in a statement. “Hotels are scarce in the Alewife market and we believe this location, with its great visibility and access, is a tremendous new offering that will serve the surrounding community well.”

AC Hotels currently has more than 90 hotels across Europe and recently expanded to North America through a joint venture with Marriott in 2014. The Cambridge property will be AC Hotels’ fifth location in North America. Others are planned at InkBlock in Boston’s South End and Station Landing in Medford.

Cambridge Discovery Park includes the headquarters of Forrester Research, the Harvard Smithsonian Institution and Genocea Biosciences. The property has an additional 240,000 square feet of build-to-suit office or lab space available.
