Every time I see amazing photos of or collateral for a hotel, it’s invariably one of the Ace Hotels, with locations in Portland, Seattle, New York and Palm Springs.


Ace Portland


Ace Palm Springs

Imagine you are staying at your really cool designer/musician friend with really great interior design taste’s apartment. That is the Ace Hotel, which somehow manages to appear both impossibly cool AND approachable at the same time.

The Official Mfg. Co in Portland, Oregon created some of the most beautiful things for the PDX location, and Ace NYC is filled with murals and original art (I know because I did one). The Ace’s own blog is as inspiring as any design blog, and the rooms are surprisingly not outrageously priced. Highly recommended.
