Update :: Ace Hotel Palm Springs Closer to Opening

Where: 701 E. Palm Canyon [map], Palm Springs, CA, United States, 92264-8811

The Palm Springs Ace Hotel & Swim Club is gearing up for its (hopefully, cross-your-fingers) January opening. They now have a reservations page up! Isn't it pretty?

Of course you can't actually make reservations yet. But soon. Pretty soon, in fact. Stay tuned.

Interestingly enough, the sizzle factor of this new hotel is raising expectations for other remodels and updates.

The Desert Sun recently reported that renovations for the Palm Springs Travelodge were rejected by the Palm Springs Architectural Advisory Committee because they were too boring. Awesome, right? Who knew there were other crusaders out there marching for our cause?

[Committee member Doug] Hudson said the hotel is a good example of 1950s and 1960s motor hotel architecture and the owners need to educate themselves about the style, which is "hot and trendy" right now.

"Use some creativity," Hudson said. "Get into the vintage groove and have fun with it."

We guess that The Ace, formerly a HoJo, got in the "vintage groove."
