June 4, 2009

No longer reserved solely for the retired set, we explored the cool side
of balmy Palm Springs.

the über cool Ace
Hotel and Swim Club
, the third budget-boutique property from
wunderkind Alex Calderwood. A décor blend of Navajo, folk-chic and
mid-century modern, rooms are decked out with a turntable and Rudys
Brand toiletries

hottie on a longboard. Ace Hotel and Swim Club, 701 East Palm Canyon

Dennys remodeled with reclaimed wood tables, macramé light fixtures and
an elephant in the room (dont worry, its mounted to the wall) that
serves up good deals like its predecessor once did, but dishes out
