Ace Hotel & Swim Club
Hotels · Palm Springs, CA
About
Unlike many Palm Springs hotels that lean exclusively gay or straight, the Ace Hotel & Swim Club draws a mixed crowd, making it a fit for travelers who prefer that vibe. It sits in downtown Palm Springs, with two salt-water pools offering the iconic mountain backdrop. The minimalist rooms include thoughtful extras like plush towels and well-stocked minibars. On-site, you'll find massage yurts, a spa, sauna, gym, and hot tub. Both the poolside bar and indoor restaurant serve solid food and drinks, per reviews. Note that Yelp data suggests the venue may be permanently closed, so confirm before planning.
Regulars praise the comfy beds and cool lobby. The staff keeps things casual, which some guests like and others don't. If you're set on a swim, check ahead before you go. For an alternative, The Saguaro Palm Springs offers a similar colorful pool scene nearby.
Located in downtown Palm Springs, you're a short shuttle or bike ride from the main strip.

From the community
The pool at Ace is one of my top spots in Palm Springs, featuring the classic mountain view. The bars and restaurants, both indoors and by the pool, serve excellent food and drinks. The rooms are also charming. Highlights include comfortable beds, a stylish lobby, good amenities, and a restaurant worth trying.

“fantastic massage”
Spent a day at the Ace relaxing. Worked out in the gym and had one of the best massages ever. Also enjoyed the restaurant.

“Warning”
If you're a sophisticated traveler, avoid this place. It might be fine for children, but adults should stay away.

“Minimalistic”
I appreciate the minimalist design. You get most of what you'd expect from a good hotel plus some nice surprises. The staff and service are very informal. Probably not for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
