ACE Hotel New York is finally open, I don’t get to stay at much hotels in NYC since I live here- only when there’s events or when friends are in town I’ll visit. But last week was an exception, thanks to Sunglass Hut and Matt Goias I got to stay at ACE Hotel which just opened. Hotelier Alex Calderwood’s first East Coast hipster ACE Hotel is conveniently located at West 29th Street and Broadway, super close to K-Town and tourist shopping hotspot 34th Street. The hotel was designed by design firm Roman and Williams, 247 rooms were created with reference to a rock star’s crib featuring vintage furniture and retro fixtures. As I walked into the hotel I was already distracted by the design and fixtures, the hotel is really “cool”. When I got up to the 3rd floor I was really excited to see how my room looked. I stayed in Room 312, a Superior Deluxe room equipped with a king size bed, private bath with French doors, vintage furniture including a turn table, guitar and SMEG refrigerator (I want one!!!), it was about 400 sq. ft. of space. The room had free WiFi internet so I was able to work comfortablely and of course I brought along my Vivienne Tam x HP Mini 1000 to blog with, gotta stay connected at all times. Love the hotel, it felt very homey (wish my room was that neat haha) and cozy. Very different from the hotels I’ve stayed at, the treats were yummy and everything was just perfect, check out the pics for yourself! More pics after the jump…

very nice hotel!
wow, look at the lobby! so cool the nyc location is now open. we and our (kid-at-heart) wedding guests stayed at the portland location a couple years ago and had a blast. the ace is great—they’re all about the little details. love that!
nice..the decor is really urban like:)
I used to live there!..that building used to be apartments…and I lived there until last year when i basically got kicked out so they could build that hotel! They’re still ppl living on the top floor I believe…crazy how they’ve transformed that place…the inside of that building was just awful when I lived there…and its so beautiful now!.
I was just looking at their website to book a stay in June. But was not sure because of the bad reviews but Ok u made up my mind Ace hotel here I go.
Wow! its a nice hotel !Very cozy! I like the decor!
CAT SCRATCH FEVER: Pests & Blues on the Road Again
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!
P.S. On arrival, greeted on 29th by scary chanting: directly across the street, a nifty BASEMENT Mosque, with crowds of mean looking men shooting on the sidewalks (both sides) at one another in several languages: net effect; ceaseless chanting: CREEPY LOCALE BABY!
