To inspire a good Valentine’s weekend for everyone, a shot from Ace Hotel Portland room 215, found on the interwebs. We’re assuming this photographer wants to stay anonymous, but if not, by all means, step forward, young stud.
Update: the stud has stepped forward, and her name is Miranda Lehman.
Adventures in sex and love, at Colette’s Valentine’s Day party, celebrating Araks for Ace NYC at Le Baron.
A Valentine’s Day without lingerie is like a fish without a bicycle, so we asked Araks to help get you into the spirit. The result is this subtly spartan little number that celebrates your beauty in its natural state of being, made exclusively for Valentine’s Day at Ace Hotel New York. We love her grounded sensibility and nuanced sense of style. The Ace x Araks Teddy is made in New York of sheer, fog-hued cotton crepe, with slate tulle trim, adjustable straps, ruching detail in the front and lower back, and custom Ace x Araks label. This is what we like to wear when we’re smoking a cigarette (don’t try it, bad for you), absorbing the moonglow through an open window, Lou Reed on the record player… opening a letter… lip syncing the lyrics to “Venus in Furs.”
You can pick it up at Ace Hotel New York, at Araks Online, or on our shop — pairs nicely with an Ace x Uslu Airlines manicure, a good cup of coffee and an overhead view of a rain-slicked street. We’re offering a friendly break on all items on our shop through Valentine’s Day with code LOVESHWAG, so take your pick. And, yes, we were being ironic about the fish on a bicycle thing — thanks Gloria!
To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, we’re collaborating with Jimmyjane to give you and someone you really like a free trip to at Ace Hotel & Swim Club and Ace Hotel New York. You can win two nights, airfare and a whole bevy of hot gifts from Jimmyjane as well as some Ace x Impossible instant analog film to use with your in-room Polaroid camera. While you’re staying with us, we’ll also bring you dessert for two and your pick from the Ace x Jimmyjane VOD channel in your room — everything from vintage kitsch to the contemporary, intelligent erotica. Enter at Jimmyjane by January 31.
You can also book this package in PSP or NYC for February 1 - 29. And stay tuned for more Valentine’s Day news because love is super un-embarrassing and we like celebrating it.
We are graced here by the most well-loved iteration of Julia and Paul Child’s famous Valentine’s Day cards.

We’re screening our favorite movie of all time by the pool Friday night at Ace Hotel Palm Springs in honor of Valentine’s Day and rebellious romantics everywhere. You can make it a weekend, too, if you’re feeling especially adoring.
We had a retro Valentine’s dance at Ace Hotel & Swim Club on February 13th at Ace Hotel Palm Springs. Doo Wop in the Desert was a collaboration with The Coachella Valley Art Scene, a local hub for art, music, and events in the valley. They also provide hair and fashion advice to retro style enthusiasts. Over 250 people attended in their finest vintage to dance, take photos in the customized photobooth, and eat frosted cupcakes from The Kid’s Business. DJ Alf Alpha kept everyone on their feet between two live sets by Evaro, a local band from Joshua Tree, with separate 50s and 70s themed outfits for each set. They were amazing and we’ll definitely be bringing them back to Ace. See our original invitation, and look at more shots from the party.
And if you had your photo taken at the party, email it to us. We might put it up on our blog.

Here are some shots from our Valentine’s Day/birthday party at Ace Hotel Portland (we just turned three). It was fun and laid-back. We had a great crowd of all ages who had fun crafting valentines with awesome art supplies from Readymade - especially the Xyron sticker machines. Everyone liked the Clyde Continental breakfast too.
