HighlightsChic hotel offers funky decor and spa services in Palm Springs
Ace Hotel and Swim Club is built on the foundation of a 1965 Howard Johnson hotel and the property has been revamped to maintain the 1960s era charm. Funky, edgy decor creates a distinctive look, and rooms combine well-worn leather couches with luxurious bedding, expertly melding gritty, 60s-type furnishings with modern amenities. Just south of downtown Palm Springs and close to the mountains, Ace Hotel and Swim Club gives a nod toward the coolness of the past, in a contemporary setting.Ace Hotel and Swim Club Rooms

Dining
- Amigo Bar
- There is the original old ranch-hand bar, the Amigo Room, which we have restored to its high/low glory and we have added an old ice cream truck- the Short Bus- as our poolside bar. The Trailer bar- an old caravan with graphics by the Date Farmers- will roll up to the Commune for events. Unlike typical Palm Springs bars, we emphasize quality micro-distilleries and fresh mixing ingredients like real, squeezed juices, infusions, and homemade syrups.
- King's Highway Restaurant
- We took the old Denny's restaurant on the property and unearthed a cool terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and recovered the booths in saddle leather. The food redefines roadside diner fare as part of an American peasant food tradition-rustic, direct, resourceful, sensuous, and social. The focus will be on fresh, organic, and local ingredients that expand the stereotypical view of Palm Springs to create a regional cuisine grounded in a sense of place. We understand that food is first and foremost a series of relationships not only in the eating but in the preparing and the sourcing. We believe that cooking should always be inspired but never pretentious and that food should be accessible but not ordinary. In feeling, we imagine this experience like the most amazing backyard barbeque you've ever been to.

Four (super casual) stars
Some people will find the canvas walls and hard floors off-putting (see, super casual) but for the rest of us this place gives just what's wanted in the desert: cool relaxation. Cool, as in its many shady retreats from the glorious sun you've come to enjoy, and cool, as in a retreat from all the mundane and uptight life garbage you've come to get away from. This place is almost too hip for its own good, but hey, it's just a vacation, you deserve a little bit of hip, right? All ages and types seemed comfortable at the Ace, and that's always a good thing in my book, as I am an odd type, myself. Comfort and fun are the rules here. The Ace has a fabulous bar (try a Desert Facial); the food at its Kings Highway restaurant is more expensive than the Heaps O'Food-type chains on the same strip, but not by much, and it is heaps better. All I ate there was excellent-- the fish tacos are popular for a reason, and the French toast is a marvel--and all was generously portioned for sharing or saving (the chilaquiles taste even better as leftovers!) And there are genuinely fun things to do here without leaving the hotel: try the awesome Sissy Bingo or a film screening. Noisy with parties on the weekend, if you got an outward-facing room you'd probably be okay. Great for families-- 2 pools, one quieter-- and folks with dogs. Not good for folks trying to avoid human (or canine) contact. Loved it; will be back.

Not Applicable
This is a resort and no outside food or drink is allowed (beware the killer mini bar!!) but most people seemed to flout the rule. Certainly if you're discreet it's not an issue.

Fun Hotel
What a great hotel. I was a bit worried at first as it was the only place i could get into over the Easter Break. What a surprise. I was probably a bit over age so the noise of the guests having so much fun bothered me a little but for young people this place is perfect. fun and hip rooms all quality mid century with modern bathrooms and up to date air con that didn't keep me up comfortable beds with nice linens, super clean and to top that the food in the resturant was amazing and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I loved it and boy am i fussy. Oh and what a great price including free parking ,wifi these guys no what they're doing. keep up the good work and i forgot to mention all the staff are hot i would love to know who's on the selection panel.

Hipster hotel
Great hotel; booked a room with patio and fireplace -definitely worth the extra money. Staff was super friendly, room was nice and clean, and free loaner bikes added a nice touch. Ate once at King's Highway...food was so-so, but cool ambience. The pool was fantastic...and they have servers walking around taking drink/munchie orders. Huge jacuzzi. All-in-all, a great trip.

Creative vibe but need more flexibility
Overall favorable - liked the off beat creative style, inexpensive food choices. Some of the staff were inflexible and immature and not willing to cater to my unique needs, e.g. making it impossible for me to use the piano in the bar for practice at any time. Room cleaning was sloppy.

Casual chic decor and very pet friendly
I really loved the size of the pool, the poolside vibe and DJ entertainment. The outdoor seating lounges in front of each room on the ground floors with the huge fireplaces were great.

Funky but a bit disorganized...
The room decor was the best part of the Ace. Service is NOT their thing, at least not yet for this new hotel. Long lines for check-in, restaurant service was the worst I've experienced 3 out of five times I tried to eat there during my weeklong stay I ended up getting up and walking out / or not being seated at all. They're a new hotel and all but come on. Get more staff and or better trained staff. It took 15 minutes for instance for a staff member to search google for tour information. 15 minutes to find my reservation... Lot's of waiting around. The Ace also booked an on-site party over the weekend that took over the pool area and went on LOUDLY until mid morning.
