I landed in Hipsterville when I walked through the doors of the Ace Hotel.
Flannel Comforter? Guitar in my room? Exposed industrial pipes to hang my clothes (and no doors for the closet)?
I'm surprised I found a huge bathroom in the room...I was almost certain hipsters didn't shower/bathe
Other than the over the top hipster vibe, the hotel was great.
My room was surprisingly big for a NYC hotel, and very comfortable.
Great service (maintenance was prompt when i called about a TV issue), room service in the morning was great (friendly, fast and food from Breslin is amazing) and the receptionists didn't pretend like they were doing me a favor when i checked in or asked questions.
The lobby is such a scene- any time of the day.
When I checked in at 9p, i thought it was just coz the lobby doubles up as a hip bar.
But oh no. The next morning at 10a, it was pretty much just as busy, esp with the line out the door of Stumptown Coffee.
Ace has managed to thoughtfully curate some of the best proprietors in town (Breslin, Stumptown) to make this one of the best overall hotel experience I've ever had.
