The Lowdown Venue Setting We found a neglected treasure — a mid-century desert modern former Westward Ho with a Denny’s — dusted it off, gave it some love and made it into Ace Hotel & Swim Club. We have a few different spaces where you can hold any kind of event you can imagine — weddings, receptions, workshops, meetings or any other gathering you might need a lot of space for. They're all unique, inventive, handsome and welcoming. You can do taco or barbecue parties catered by King’s Highway by the pool or spa parties with communal treatments from the Feel Good Spa. All of our event spaces can be tailored to intimate or large, raucous affairs.

People come here to escape the city and recharge with the tranquility of the desert landscape. The Ace sensibility appeals to people who appreciate imaginative amenities and an authentic cultural context. Ace Hotel & Swim Club is the perfect desert complement to its urban counterparts in Portland, Seattle Los Angeles, London, New York, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Chicago. The laid-back atmosphere is reflective of its natural habitat embracing sun-washed, organic design. Built on the foundation of a 1965 Westward Ho Hotel, Ace Hotel & Swim Club maintains functionality and simplicity without sacrificing the renowned Ace aesthetic. Much of the property is an outgrowth of the original five-building structure, from the unearthed terrazzo floors in the restaurant to the rare, deep swimming pool from years ago. It's within biking distance of downtown and close to cool stuff like Joshua Tree, the Salton Sea, Salvation Mountain, all kinds of historic desert modern architecture and tons of great vintage shopping. It's also the best place in Palm Springs to get a laid-back massage or natural treatment at the Feel Good Spa. Design: For the Ace Hotel & Swim Club's interiors, the LA-based design team Commune built on the Ace penchant for authentic design and honest materials. Commune's collaboration with Atelier Ace transports the guest to a bohemian desert camping experience. Utilitarian and pastoral, Ace Hotel & Swim Club caters to the guest who seeks the simple and sublime. An eclectic assortment of local artists and designers contributed their talents to create a space with many voices. The grounds expand on this idea of community, with shared outdoor areas like communal fireplaces and patios that invite guests to come together.

Food, Restaurants, Cafes: We re-invented the old Denny’s restaurant on the property. During renovations we unearthed a terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and re-covered the booths in saddle leather. The food redefines roadside diner fare and world desert cuisine as part of an American peasant food tradition — rustic, direct, resourceful, sensuous and social. The focus is on fresh, organic and local ingredients — a regional cuisine grounded in a sense of place. We understand that good food is first and foremost about a series of relationships — relationships in dining, preparing and sourcing. We believe that cooking should always be inspired but never pretentious — that food should be accessible but not ordinary. We liken the experience to an amazing backyard barbecue. Bars & Lounges: The Amigo Room — the original old ranch hand bar we restored to its high/low glory — emphasizes quality micro-distilleries and fresh mixing ingredients like real, squeezed juices, infusions and homemade syrups. Plus there's a poolside bar with outdoor seating.
