we have a serious crush on the ace hotels. actually, so do all of our friends as well! they have been named ‘the country’s most original new hotel’ by the new york times and we could not agree more. they currently have hotels in palm springs, new york, seattle, and portland. with upcoming developments in los angeles and london that we are especially looking forward to visiting!

not to say we are superficial in our crushes, but the looks of these places was clearly our first attraction. ace hotel has their own in-house creative services firm, atelier ace, which includes the interior design team. this team collaborates with local interior designers to ensure that the style and design reflect the location of the hotel. in palm springs, ace hotel worked with los angeles based design firm, commune, to achieve the desired aesthetic. the vintage furniture and bohemian decor are right in line with the mid century modern movement happening in palm springs. not only does the beautiful, vintage furniture create a comfortable, lived-in environment, but it also falls in line with their mission for sustainability. ace begins with historical properties and “reimagines classic buildings and interesting opportunities, creating a sense of history and place while reinterpreting those details for a sense of modern bohemia that marries the pragmatic with the romantic. our hotels are inspired by an affinity for the soulful and fueled by localized and handmade culture.” well we are head over heels for you, ace, and cannot wait to see what you bring to los angeles.
