hip trip.
a while back i posted about the fabulous, and quite affordable ace hotel chain. ace is known for thrifted, vintage-inspired furnishings, and uncommonly fair prices, geared towards up and coming indie bands, artists and the like. you know, those of us who can’t spring for a big budget hotel, but like staying in fashionably stylish places, in locations like new york, portland, seattle and palm springs. i am still lamenting the fact there is not one (yet) in san francisco. pssst — are you listening, ace?
my dear friends, anna rowland, an art director at heat advertising agency in san francisco (where anna and i used to work together), and her husband bernard morris, the director of the color department at the north face, recently shared with me their stay at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in sunny palm springs. i loved their shots so much, i asked if i could share, and they graciously agreed. here’s a creatively wonderful peek at what it’s like to have a luxurious, and yet inexpensive warm winter stay at the ace palm springs. thanks so much for sharing, you guys!

Cuteness patoots! I love their photos!
they are SO cute!!! my husband and i are staying there in march and i CAN’T WAIT!!!
what a cool hotel. if it were closer I would stay a day or two. Park myself and get lost!
ooh it looks lovely. I’m can’t believe I still haven’t gotten over to the Ace in my own city. I love the Harold and Maude heart – such a great collection of photos.
Just yesterday, I had a yummy breakfast at King’s Highway at the ACE hotel in Palm Springs. I love that place. (V, Modernism Week is coming up: modernismweek.com. I’ve got a room with your name on it at the Palm Springs house if you’d like to come down.)
Gorgeous! I love this space. I’ve only seen the lobby of the hotel in New York, but I’d quite like to enjoy the warm weather at the one in Palm Springs! Stan
aren’t they awesome? both the couple, and the pics! thanks for sharing you two!
sounds great miss mooney!! xoxo
I´ve been at ACE NY and i loved it! had a great time and so inspiring!!!
Staying at the ACE NY made me love NY even more!
I love Ace. Besides their beautiful spaces they just really really get it right from every corner and detail.
What an awesome looking place!!!
we have stayed there as well last august. hot but great. we have vowed to stay there every year from here on out. we stayed in a jr. suite that had one queen bed and two twins. we now will take along the kiddies next time. hop on a bike and stroll around the city. eat at the wonderful cafe on site. It is amazingly yummy. silly things like the body wash and the record players make this hotel chic and so memorable. It is a must!
Whoa!!! Never heard of this place before, but it looks fabulous. SF definitely needs an Ace. Gorgeous pics. Thanks so much for posting!
This place is real? Really real? It’s so much fun! It’s worth the trip out to Palm Springs itself, I dare say.
those are rockin striped van seats…love them
omg, this is so cute! i’ve stayed at movie colony before, but now i must stay here!!!
both establishment and couple exude cool. i love them!!

wow…hippie camp…I like!
yes, the ace is amazing but it really goes: ace seattle, portland, new york and palm springs. ace got their biggest start in the smaller cities. naturally, though, i think ace makes perfect sense in san francisco but you must come to portland for a visit!
We stayed at the Palm Springs Ace in November and it was absolutely amazing. The NY Ace is equally incredible. I love the Ace more than any other hotel ever, hands down.
