Chocolate, Plastic Passion, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Currently he presides over the decks at Beige,

Ace Hotel Palm Springs Movie Nights – Start July 18th

This summer, Ace and IFC Films are launching a series of monthly collaborative movie nights
at Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. It starts Saturday, July 18, 2009, at 7pm. We’ll have
a sneak preview screening of IFC Film’s In The Loop, a biting and hilarious satire of U.S. and
British politics, directed by Armando Iannucci and starring James Gandolfini and Mimi Kennedy.
The film opens in theaters July 24 and On Demand July 22. Then in August we’ll start doing it on
Thursdays, with IFC Films features once a month and other movies the rest of the time. Additional
films in the series will be announced soon.
For refreshments, we’ll have a cash bar with homemade margaritas, rum punch, mojitos, and
sangria. There will also be BBQ salmon and carnitas sliders, jicama salad, brownies, popcorn, and
movie theater candy.

Ace Hotel New York – Soft Opening
15 May 2009
Finally! Ace Hotel New York’s doors are officially open.
We’ve got a cool lobby, about half of our rooms, some really nice folks and starter rates from $99 to $559.
Don’t worry about getting a drink. We’ll be mixing them up for hotel guests in the Lobby bar ’til 2 in the morning while we wait for The Breslin Bar and Dining Room to open later this summer. And since Stumptown Coffee Roasters will open around the same time, we’ll be giving away fresh Stumptown coffee and croissants for breakfast until they open. Besides, we’ve got stocked mini-bars (some rooms have full-size Smeg refrigerators) and we’ve arranged for room service from some neighborhood restaurants. And though you can’t eat music, Other Music has curated records in the rooms that have turntables.
Check out our special discount packages online. Maybe one will work for you.
Come and see us. We’re still a little rough around the edges, but it’ll be fun.

Ace Hotel and Swim Club in Palm Springs
12 January 2009
Palm Springs is the desert. People come here to escape the city and recharge with the tranquility of the desert landscape. Ace Hotel Palm Springs reinvents and updates the idea of the resort property, broadening the boundaries of the desert oasis.
Offbeat details like tamale carts and tuk tuks offer surprise and amusement, while the property’s serene setting is embraced via outdoor massages and edible landscaping. Built on the foundation of a 1965 Westward Ho Hotel, much of the property’s original elements are preserved and restored, from unearthed terazzo floors in the restaurant to the rare deep saltwater pool.
For the hotel’s interiors, the L.A.-based visual curator team Commune builds on the Ace penchant for pure, human design. Commune’s translation of the Ace vision transports the guest to an indulgent, bohemian “camping” experience. Utilitarian and beautiful, the design of Ace Palm Springs caters to the guest who seeks the simple and sublime. Opening Feb 12th 2009. acehotel.com

Ace X CMJ
27 October 2008
We just got back from College Music Journal ‘08 Music Marathon & Film Festival in NYC. The whole week was a blast, but the highlight for us was the Knitting Factory and Spectre’s PDX@CMJ event, which showcased nearly 30 Portland bands.
We were excited to participate in PDX@CMJ in the form of an Ace Photo Booth. People piled in for some great party shots, like these ones.
The event tied everything together for us – Portland, great bands and New York City. Look for Ace Hotel New York to open Feb 1st and Ace Hotel Palm Springs to open in mid-January.

Ace Hotel X Tokyo
2 October 2008
This past Friday Sept 26th in Tokyo Japan, Ace Hotel in collaboration with Cute Alert and Travel Portland, hosted “One Night in Portland”.
The event was held at the infamous Le Baron nightclub in Aoyama and featured a performance by the Portland band Starfucker as well as DJ Girlfriends.
The band and DJ played to a packed house filled with Tokyo influencers and cool kids. Center stage featured a video projection of Portland Style presented by Cute Alert and attendees received a gift that included a Portland Survival Guide (In Japanese) created by the Ace Hotel and compilation CD of local music put together by Dave Allen and Travel Portland.
The party was a unique collaboration for a hotel and visitors association.
