Ace Hotel NYC Aiming for May 1, Now With Korean Soup

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 20 West 29th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10001

Remember when the Ace Hotel New York didn't open on time? Yea, that was a lovely surprise only last week, causing those with reservations to be both disappointed and relocated to the nearby Carlton on Madison Ave. After the passing of April 1, rumors piped up around a possible opening on April 16, even though we didn't see any available rooms on their website until May 1.

Hopefully clarifying the whole situation is today's WWD article on the hotel, giving us a few new pictures along with a no-nonsense overview of all of the Ace's upcoming amenities. We find out some of the minibar contents (organic vodka and Korean instant noodle soup) and what toiletries will be sink-side (Rudy's Barbershop). The juiciest tidbit of all, however, comes from WWD's confirmation of our opening date suspicions: "The Ace Hotel, part of a Seattle-based chain, will open its doors to visitors in downtown Manhattan on May 1." Not that we're keeping score or anything, but HotelChatter: 1, Ace NYC: 0.

    re:soft opening this week

    Hi vcb...

    I have a reservation for this saturday (2nd May) but apparently the hotel isn't open. Where did you stay on the 18th? Did you stay at ACE or did they relocate you?

    CAT SCRATCH FEVER: Pests, Rodents & Blues!

    Mid-night, poured from a violently torn-apart tiny astro-pack left hours ago atop an elongated slab desk, fronting that room's glossy painted black door, we tossed back handfuls of Ace's pricey spicy toasted almonds. Glazed over on arrival, we had zonked out on an oh-so-soft mattress. Now standing there, in that small dark room next to each other, we smiled satisfied, drilling in each other's rapacious rocker eyes, chewing fast and furious. S. on vocals and I would emerge from a fog on percussion tomorrow night, ran a thought; then, it started. Reflexively S. shot up her leather clad arm, razor-sharp Goth painted nails' desperately dipping below a liquid-tight black tee, savagely scratching her head's base, as my much tattooed arm darted overhead, jabbing wildly, too, at what had just BITTEN ME! In a flash, our eyes re-affixed themselves upon one another, terror and shock burned mated to radical fear and rage: B_ _ B_GS, I shouted as she screamed. Down ACE's telltale black painted hall's corridor we raced, our heavy metal door self-slamming on our as_ _s. Eternity passed at Ace-in-the-hole's solo elevator; fingering our cell phones, agent Joe re-booked us, elsewhere!

    READ THE FINE PRINT: Endnotice!

    WIKI REALLY NAILS IT TOO:
    "Ace Hotel New York occupies the former Hotel Breslin, a 1904 building in Midtown Manhattan. This location features a Rudy's barbershop on its ground floor, that chain's first east coast location, intriguingly, guests may come to enjoy the penetrating chanting coming from the basement mosque located directly across the street."
