Ace in the Hole

February 27th, 2009

After I read this article over at Thrillist, I knew that I simply had to see what all the buzz was about at the newly opened Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. Not only is their website incredibly alluring, but I now kind of need to re-decorate my entire apartment to look like their rooms. They have an earthy I’m-into-camping-but-would-still-rather-sleep-in-a-hotel-room vibe. See what I mean?

Though we’re only staying one night, I’ve already picked out the most appealing dishes I plan to order from their menu I found online. I’m pretty sure that’s not normal.

-Lox and bagel with tequila cured salmon
-Manchego cheese and beet salad
-Ricotta hot cakes with maple crunch butter
-Jicama & pomegranate salad with feta
-Irish porridge with torched bananas

I hope you all have wonderful weekends!

I’m so jealous. My hubby and I are in desperate need of a vacation. But we’re most likely not going to have one until the summer. Oh well, I love the unique-ness of that hotel. Have a great time!

I always check out menus beforehand and go to most restaurants already knowing what I want. Normal or not, you’re not alone. That hotel looks fantastic, great decor and a unique theme.

Paradise! Even if it is just one night. The rooms give me a Katherine Hepburn in African Queen vibe. Strong, natural and sophisticated – jus like she was. Enjoy.

I’m excited to see what you think of Ace Hotel. I’ve been thinking of paying it a visit if it lives up to its online accolades. And it’s totally normal to pick out meals ahead of time…

Can’t wait to hear how you enjoy your stay! And I always check out the menu before I go…but of course I still spend hours deciding when I’m there!
Have a great weekend!

How fabulous! Ain’t nothin better than a bagel and lox.
And I totally feel your pain on the bikini with tags still attached – I’ve got a couple yet to debut; so sad that they are languishing in a drawer….
Love the post-it!

I just read this blog post, and when I came to the part about our hotcakes, I had to get up and get some from the restaurant–again. Yes, I paid for them. No freebees here. They’re WORTH it.
Waiting for their arrival now…salivating.
P.S. I work at Ace. Lucky me.
