Woman Getting Married Says
We recently stayed at the Ace Hotel Palm Springs for a quick weekend getaway a couple months ago. The last time we went to Palm Springs we stayed at The Parker , which we really liked. Where the Parker is plush and quirky, the Ace feels a bit cold and contrived, like you’re staying in a hipster friend’s dorm room. While I love features like in-room record players , vintage furniture and quirky posters hung on the wall (not to mention the extremely comfortable mattress), the overall vibe wasn’t really our style. However, I did LOVE the hotel’s cool, dark bar and diner. I also found the staff to be extremely nice, which is important to note if you’re going to be planning a wedding there.
The wedding venue itself is located towards the back of the property, and is a large room with retractable windows that open onto the pool area, which is gated from the rest of the hotel grounds. The venue is pretty much a blank canvas (which design enthusiasts should love), and while it has that same stark look that the rest of the property has, it’s nothing that a bit of uplighting and decor couldn’t help. Also important to note is that while you are somewhat off the beaten path from guests, passers-by can still see in (if that bothers you).
Finally, if you’re planning on checking out the venue, be sure to take a look at a standard room to make sure it’s something that could work for your family and guests. Given my own personal experience with the rooms, I can imagine it might not always be something that parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents are going to be into, either.
