Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part II: The Lobby
If you saw Part I of this slideshow (The Loft Suite), you know I was recently invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York. I've always been a fan of the boutique hotel chain's vintage industrial aesthetic, but I particularly loved the prep school/university library feel of Ace NY's lobby. Tall ceilings, original floor tiling, old wooden tables, giant columns, cozy, quiet seating, and a well-bound collection of dusty books made me feel like I'd stepped into a scene from School Ties — although Matt Damon was nowhere to be found.
Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part 1: The Loft Suite
During a recent East Coast getaway, I was invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York, and I've got photos to prove it! My love for Ace is no secret, but until now I haven't had the chance to visit one. I hoped the hotel would live up to its good press and photos, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
DIY: A Fab Photo Wall
I love this instant-art idea, used in one of the Superior Deluxe Rooms at the Portland Ace Hotel. It also seems like it's begging to be DIYed.

Casa Quickie: Alterna-Hooks For Curtains
Take a cue from the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs when you're tying back your curtains. Use an inexpensive industrial hook instead of curtain ties. I love the gleaming, red contrast that this one has against the natural canvas curtains.
Found It! Ace Hotel Table
The Side by Side Suite at the new Ace Hotel in Palm Springs cultivates a moody vibe with its curtained-off, king-sized bed and vintage furniture as well as great tech products, including 42-inch flat screens, MP3 plugs, and vinyl record players.
My eye was drawn to this great vintage coffee table. I'd seen it before.
Home Away From Home: Ace Hotel New York
A Big Apple outpost of my beloved Ace Hotel Portland will open its doors March 1. Staying true to its "low card and high card" motto, Ace New York will offer affordable rooms replete with bunk beds and cool amenities for $99; a luxury loft outfitted with a built-in banquette and clawfoot tub for $679; and everything in between. Price tags aside, Ace's distinctly original design makes it a breath of fresh air in a world where "boutique hotels" have become as remarkable as your Garden State Parkway variety Motel 6.
Home Away From Home: The Ace Hotel, Part 2
Earlier today I began my tour of Portland's Ace Hotel. Welcome to Part Deux.
As they planned the hotel, the designers were interested in instilling a real sense of Portland life into the rooms, top to bottom, so they sourced lots of quirky vintage elements locally.
Home Away From Home: The Ace Hotel, Portland, Part 1
Thanks to a tip off from neekoh, I learned about the Ace Hotel in Portland, Oregon, and I'm already thinking about booking my flight to the Northwestern city. This 79 room hotel is the sophomore effort by Ace Hotel Group founders Alex Calderwood and Wade Weigel, opened as a sequel to their Seattle rest stop, and as a place for their creative pals (DJs, artists, musicians, designers, bona fide hipsters) to stay.
The hotel, built in 1912, and what used to be the Clyde Hotel, occupies an entire city block.
