The Ace Hotel group is not content merely to deeply undercut Seattle boutique-hotel prices, or to massively multiply the cool quotient of the Portland budget-hotel market. Now they’re moving beyond the Northwest, straight to what seems like a fairly unlikely locale: the California desert town of Palm Springs.
Then again, this is a brand that’s got a proven track record of being ahead of its time. And Palm Springs makes more sense than you think. Sure, a decade ago this town was fighting the perception that neither it nor its clientele had really moved on from its mid-century heyday — but these days Palm Springs is once again a viable weekender for LA’s young and stylish. This one happens to touch another one of our hot buttons: it’s a refurbishment of a classic and slightly kitsch roadside motel, complete with a restaurant that used to be a Denny’s 24-hour diner.
The rooms are stylish, if not exactly luxurious, offering excellent value and extracting maximum vintage-chic from their humble materials. There’s a central courtyard pool, naturally, and a spa that, in its casual unpretentiousness, makes a mockery of the typical “pampering” hotel-spa experience. Add a well-conceived and effortlessly hip hotel bar, and the Ace vaults to the front line of the Palm Springs renaissance.
Ace Hotel & Swim club has a 2-night minimum stay policy on weekends.

What I liked:
Very different to where I would normally stay! Loved the vibe of the hotel.
What the hotel could do better:
My friend and I are slightly older (but not much!) than the hotel demographic and we found that we were utterly ignored with the poolside service, repeatedly.

What I liked:
Love the rooms, location, laid back vibe-typical for Palm Springs
What the hotel could do better:
The ACE should restrict the swim club access to only guests to make sure that paying guests have priority over all the 'locals' that completely took over the pool. I usually love staying at the ACE, but this may be my last time. Since my husband and I frequent this hotel, we knew we had to wake up at 7am to get a spot by the pool. Other guests showed up to 'locals' holding all the chairs... Not cool...
