@acehotel
Hi. Welcome to Ace Hotel Kyoto.
We’re glad that you’re staying with us, and we want to make sure you have everything to keep you happy while you’re hanging your hat here. We’ll keep this short so you have more time to experience the hotel and the city. You’re standing in the ShinPuhKan complex, originally constructed in 1926 as the Kyoto Central Telephone Office headquarters. Designed anew with legendary architect Kengo Kuma and our longtime collaborators Commune Design, the building is a place in honest dialogue with the city’s past and future legends.
We’re a stone’s throw from contemporary cultural treasures like the Nishiki Market, the Museum of Kyoto and Kyoto Art Center, and just steps away from Kamesuehiro, the iconic 200-year old confectionery. As part of the ShinPuhKan development, we’re also in the middle of a vibrant marketplace filled with shops and cafes. And fortunately, everyone at our Front Desk knows Kyoto like the backs of their hands. We’re happy to give you any tips and recommendations you might need to stay well-fed, entertained, on course and feeling good while you’re here. Just ask.
We’re on the internet, too. To stay abreast of our collaborations, artist interviews and random things we like, follow the Ace Reader over at ACEHOTEL.COM/BLOG. For breadcrumb trails to events, videos, pictures and gems culled from internet k-holes, you can find us at @acehotel on Instagram. And if you’re already feeling tired and want us to just send all this stuff directly to you from time to time, you can join the A-List. It’s a low-key newsletter where we deliver you notes about what’s happening with our latest projects, what deals we’ve got cooking and the occasional wholesome joke or funny story. Sign up at ACEHOTEL.COM/A-LIST. Or peep some good old-fashioned hold-in-your-handables at SHOP.ACEHOTEL.COM, where you can take home the same super soft blankets and robes you find in your rooms, plus exclusive and custom collaborations with friends.

— ACE HOTEL NEW YORK —
Ace Hotel New York is in a historic landmark building that originally opened in 1904 as the Hotel Breslin, located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, close to the Theatre and Flatiron Districts, and Madison Square Park. We tried to preserve as many original features and details as possible — like The Lobby’s ornate coffered ceilings and mosaic tile floors — in hopes of celebrating its history, and we worked with Roman and Williams to bring new personality to the space, with vintage and custom furniture, and things we’re not even sure how we pulled off, like the entire library we lifted from a Park Avenue apartment to make our lobby bar, and the light fixtures made with glass from the Hubble telescope.

— ACE HOTEL & SWIM CLUB PALM SPRINGS —
Built on the foundation of a 1965 Howard Johnson hotel, Ace Hotel & Swim Club celebrates the simplicity, beauty and ruggedness of the desert. The rooms impart a luxury camping, bohemian vibe — many have patios, fireplaces and small desert gardens, as well as turntables, huge crystals and walking sticks. The edible landscape and rare, deep pool are surrounded by surreal views of the San Jacinto Mountains, and the Swim Club and Feel Good Spa create a sense of healing and restoration. There’s lots to do, from daily pool parties and film screenings, to local scooter rides, vintage shopping and hikes in Indian Canyon.

— ACE HOTEL SEATTLE —
Our first hotel ever, Ace Hotel Seattle is near and dear to our hearts. Built in a historic boarding house in Belltown, we’re at the heart of Seattle’s art and music scene, near the waterfront and Pike Place Market (where they throw the fish). Minimalist iterations of Northwestern themes fill The Lobby and guest rooms, and the common spaces include a study and breakfast nook with a do-it-yourself waffle iron (waffle dough included). Small but mighty, Ace Seattle is famous among dozens, and well-loved among its friends.

— ACE HOTEL SYDNEY —
Ace Sydney is settled within the reanimated, century-old Heritage Federation Warehouse building — situated above the site of convict potter Jonathan Leak’s brick kiln. We are nestled against the edge of the CBD in Surry Hills, a neighborhood with a rich ‘n’ rough legacy of cultural reinvention, from the landmark Gay Solidarity Group protests of the 1970s to the razor gang wars of the 1920s and ’30s. In between our rooftop restaurant, Kiln, and our lobby-level café, Good Chemistry, you’ll find everything you need right here, but we’re also within walking distance to Hyde Park and the CBD, Darlinghurst and Redfern, and just a moment away from Central Station.
