No. 7 Sub is Open at Ace Hotel NYC
Some action shots from opening day. And what’s the ingredient you can’t quite see on the Roast Beef sign? That would be pickled blueberries.
No. 7 Sub has now begun to make every day at Ace NYC even better.
This Saturday the team from Ace Hotel & Swim Club is participating in The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. The donations they raise will support education about prevention and early detection, support survivors and families, fund research, and rally support for the fight against cancer. But doing the relay together is the true experience - this event gives people the chance to remember loved ones, feel the power of support and enthusiasm, and have fun together.
To learn more, or donate to the team, visit the Ace Hotel & Swim Club Relay for Life Team page.
Also, the Ace NYC team is running a half marathon in April to support Hope Lodge in NYC, which offers free living spaces for cancer patients and their families when they travel to New York for treatment. See our post about it here.
We like Kenzo Minami very much. Kenzo just created a new piece for us in room 1011 at Ace Hotel New York. He also painted on a charcoal wall at Ace Portland, room 428. This means you can sleep beneath his intricate magic spells on both coasts.
(And thanks to our friend Koko at CWCi for helping make it all happen.)

Ace founder Alex Calderwood toasts George Lois and his work at Ace Hotel New York this Friday. Lois’ decade of iconic Esquire covers revolutionized design and provoked the American public into dialogue about current events in the 60s and 70s. His use of hyper-powered, passionate, and graphic images to illustrate Esquire features created a new visual vocabulary that younger designers are still riffing on today.
Raise your glass Friday at 6:30 in Liberty Hall to celebrate Assouline’s publication of Lois’ ninety-two Esquire covers.

We collaborated with Generic Surplus and Arkitip last year to create Ace-exclusive shoes perfect for the poolside and for walks in the desert. This spring, we’re re-introducing these very coveted kicks in new colorways, and with all the same great elements as the original. The classic low-top laced plimsoll silhouette has been re-imagined with a mesh upper made of quick-drying canvas that keeps your feet cool and dry. The vulcanized non-slip sole is perfect for poolside cocktail mingling on a Sunday afternoon.
Check them out early (they’re due out April 15) and reserve a pair with Arkitip. Keep them at the ready for your first foray into the sun this year at Ace Palm Springs.

Thanks, Gail.

If you thought Saturdays couldn’t get more awesome, stop by Opening Ceremony at Ace New York between noon at 5pm for a Minx Manicure with Tracylee. Daria at OC shows off her leopard print and hot pink digits. Minx is a special kind of polish that’s actually custom-cut to your fingernails and applied with heat, so it lasts longer than a regular manicure and looks super, um, polished. See more details on OC’s blog.
It’s 70° and sunny in Palm Springs, and we have an amazing weekend coming up at Ace Hotel & Swim Club. Sunday, four bands on their way to SXSW make a pit stop at Ace to play by the pool. In the evening, we have a live performance by Mia Doi Todd with Andres Renteria, followed by a screening of Michelangelo Antonioni’s cult film, Zabriskie Point. To celebrate, we have cheap rooms Sunday through Thursday. Call us directly to book at 760.325.9900, or email us. Ask for The Masses rate.
People like the terrariums in the lobby at Ace Hotel Portland. Martie Kilmer makes them. She has a store right around the corner from Ace, filled with skulls, cacti, and supplies for the curious. Visit her website to see more of her work, including a cow skull with air plants growing out of it. Pretty awesome.
Terrariums are really fun to make — you should try it. Get a cup of coffee and take notes in the lobby sometime.
