You've heard all about the Ace Hotel New York, we're sure, but what about the other three Ace properties scattered on the west side of the the country? There's just as many people strolling through the lobby thinking they're cooler or more influential than they really are, and there's still rooms chock-full of commissioned art and irreverent items like turntables or vintage furniture.
Thus, while recently in Portland, we hunkered down for two nights in a single room with shared bathroom at the Ace Hotel PDX. The damage? Only $95 per night, which bought us lots of surprising quiet, a desirable location, a hopping restaurant scene and...um, communal workspace.]]>
