AOL Travel Editor's Review

This Portland-based hotel group blew into town in 2009, and with its off-beat, bohemian style, turned a 1965 Howard Johnson into the unique Ace Hotel & Swim Club. The Ace bucks the norm with retro-minimalism—draped fabric in the rooms create an indoor-outdoor luxury camping vibe—and vintage National Geographic magazines grace the nightstands. The Ace offers first-class Palm Springs fun, from Sunday DJ parties at the pool and “booze sno cones” (yup, they’re laced with alcoholic beverages) to a full-service spa, with outdoor massage yurts. The King’s Highway restaurant and The Amigo Room bar attract the locals with creative, inexpensive made-from-scratch food and artisan cocktails. Dogs are welcome and Wi-Fi is free. Downtown Palm Springs is about 2 miles down the road.
