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:
Nice combination of vintage and modern. The food at Kings Highway was great.
What the hotel could do better:
Busboy to room would have been a nice option, as i had bags to carry upstairs and a hard time getting the key to work in the door.

What I liked:
I liked the pool area and some of the staff.
What the hotel could do better:
One day/night I had no hot water. I didn't find the rooms to be as clean as they could have been. Some of the staff wasn't as friendly as they should have been.
