Ace Hotel

December 8th, 2011

Steve Halterman, a local set designer and stained glass artist from Joshua Tree, has created a stained glass window to preside over diners at King’s Highway, our roadside diner at Ace Hotel & Swim Club. Steve started designing stained glass inspired by his mother LaVerne, who ran a glass company while Steve was growing up. He’s come to Ace through a partnership with Commune Design (the design firm that we worked with to create Ace Palm Springs), and he works in collaboration this his partner Glen Steigelman and mother LaVerne Halterman. You can see their pretty faces below. The window for the Ace is the largest window they’ve done to date — Steve says they’re thrilled with the opportunity to add to not only a great hotel but to the fantastic community of Palm Springs. The feeling is totally mutual, Steve! Thank you for this amazing gift. Photos by Glen Steigelman

HANDMADE BY REAL PEOPLE.

We worked with Commune Design to make Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. They made The Commune, designed guest rooms and communal spaces, and worked with other collaborators to make Ace Palm Springs the magical place that it is. Commune just opened a Community Shop at our hotel, with things that are handmade by real people, including cups and bowls by Heath Ceramics, who made Do Not Disturb signs for the doors. You can see pictures from the store at PSFK, and read about it in the LA Times.

Visit Community Store during Palm Springs Modernism Week 2010. We’re hosting many of the week’s events including lectures, architecture tours, films, martini parties, and a show of vintage Airstream trailers. We have two room packages for the week, The Frey and The Modern. See more about it here.

Ace Hotel & Swim Club is built in a mid-century Howard Johnson motel. We’re excited about the local enthusiasm for Desert Modernism, so we kept the original things people loved about the hotel intact and mixed in some newer things that inspire us.
