Abstract
We study solutions in the Plebański–Demiański family which describe an accelerating, rotating, and dyonically charged black hole in
AdS

. These are solutions of
D
=

Einstein-Maxwell theory with a negative cosmological constant and hence minimal
D
=

gauged supergravity. It is well known that when the acceleration is nonvanishing the
D
=
4
black hole metrics have conical singularities. By uplifting the solutions to
D
=
11
supergravity using a regular Sasaki-Einstein seven-manifold,
S

, we show how the free parameters can be chosen to eliminate the conical singularities. Topologically, the
D

solutions incorporate an
