Ace Hotel is a collection of individuals, multiple and inclusive, seeking to embrace the cities they are in by building spaces for collective gathering. Whether thoughtfully reinterpreting historic buildings or imagining radical new structures, their aim is always to make something energized, human and useful. Their hotels are inspired by anaffinity for the soulful and fueled by their love for the hyperlocal. A study in contrasts, Ace Hotel marries the pragmatic with the romantic, the private with the collective and the old world with the future.
