Super Secret Hotel Insider Goes Inside the Ace Hotel New York

August 14, 2008 at 12:27 PM | by juliana | 3 Comments

We are pretty stoked to have an exclusive scoop on the upcoming Ace Hotel New York today. A Super Secret Hotel Insider tells us what will be inside when this hotel opens in either January or February of 2009. Enjoy.

I had not seen or heard much about the Ace Hotel until I finally had the opportunity to see it first-hand. It is located at Broadway between 28th and 29th St in an area of midtown Manhattan soon to be transformed into the NoMad district (North of Madison Square Park I guess.)

This company has 3 other properties in the Western US but this is their first NYC hotel. It is still under construction with only a model room open although they are shooting for a Winter 08/09 opening date.

The rooms are supposed to feel like you are staying in a hip friend's apartment in NYC. I have to say they succeeded.

The room has a very residential feel which includes full size SMEG refrigerators (think That 70's Show) stocked with goods from local NYC names like Brooklyn Brewery.

The best part of the minibar is that it is not so mini. The fridge I saw had a complete six pack of beer from Brooklyn Brewery. The room was also equipped with a turntable and acoustic guitar (strange but cool.)

From what I saw room types will include everything from smaller bunk bed rooms up to 2 bedroom suites. I toured a suite still in demo phase and it was very large. I think this hotel will offer a great option for people looking to stay in a hip hotel in a fantastic central location in NYC at all price points.

The hotel will have a new restaurant by the same people behind NYC's "Spotted Pig" as well as the first NYC coffee shop by Stumptown Coffee Roasters from Portland. This hotel should be a welcome edition to an area of NYC that can greatly benefit from some hipness.
