Ace Hotel

Hello Valentine,
         Yes, you heard correctly. My friends and I visited the Ace from the 11th-13th of July and had a fabulous time.  Like I mentioned in the previous email the entire staff was friendly and went over and above our expectations and their jobs to make us feel welcome and to make sure we enjoyed our time there.  We are in the process of planning another trip out there because we had such a wonderful time.  I manage 3 tattoo shops in the North County San Diego area and on the drive home we thought, what a better way to commerate our trip than to get it tattooed permanently on our bodies.  So we all came down to my shop and got tattooed.  So far, myself and 2 others got the tattoo and 5 other friends who went with us made appointments for later this week.  We were not sure what exactly to get, so we tattooed the coyote, figuring it had to do with the Ace and it was just as fierce as our trip there was. If you have any other questions hit me back and I will foward this email to my friends so they can give you their feedback as well. Enclosed are the tattoos that have already been done.  Thank you for the email and we hope to see Ace very soon.

The Art of Exchange: Crafting Community at Ace Hotel & Swim Club

We’re looking forward to spending a weekend in April with artist Karen Kimmel and her friends making art and eating fireside s’mores at Ace Palm Springs. The Art of Exchange is a two day, two night artist retreat for kids and families with interactive workshops, activities, projects, Saturday movie night with popcorn, and the aforementioned s’mores (which we’re obviously feeling pretty casual about). Karen and friends — including Clare Crespo, who made the diorama in the lobby — will guide art projects like potato prints, miniature gardens, macramé, dioramas, and knitting, with a focus on the reuse and repurposing of natural materials. You can also just do your own thing, hang out by the pool, and explore. Community activities will include a poolside barbecue, Sunday brunch, and some communal dining with a special menu for families.

There’s a special package for the event that includes all workshops, projects, and group activities, and a Kimmel Kids tote filled with goodies. See more about visiting daily just for activities here.

Karen’s handmade trivets and Kimmel Kids totes and coloring books are also sold exclusively through the Community Shop at Ace Hotel & Swim Club.
