Ace Hotel New York
20 W 29th St
New York, NY 10001
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 in a historic landmark building that originally opened in 1904 as the Hotel Breslin. It has undergone many changes in its long life, and we’ve preserved 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.
Ace New York is in the center of Manhattan, in the NoMad District. A few blocks south is the Flatiron District & Madison Square Park. Be adventurous, take the subway. There’s the nearby 6 train at 28th St. & Park, and the N/R train on 28th St & Broadway. will take you down to SoHo, Union Square, Chinatown, or up to Times Square, Central Park and Fifth Avenue. 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. You can call us by dialing 0 or come down and see us at the Front Desk.
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.
We’re glad you’re here.
— CONCIERGE —
Everyone at the Front Desk is a concierge and you can reach them by dialing 0. Call them for reservations, confirmations, cultural recommendations, transportation and anything else under the sun.
– HOUSEKEEPING –
We think of our housekeeping philosophy as environmentally conscious perfectionism. We only want to live in a world with crisp, clean sheets, and lots of crisp, clean water, too. In the interest of conservation, we’ll change your linens every third day unless you prefer sooner — just let us know. Should you need fresh sheets, towels or housekeeping service sooner, please call the Front Desk and we’ll set you up.

We are a non–smoking building. If you decide to light one up in your room, the smoke cleaning fee is $250 + tax. But we promise you, a walk around the neighborhood is way more fun.
— DOG POLICY —
Your dog is family, and we want them to feel welcome, too. A few rules for Fido: if the “Dog in Room” sign is placed on the door, we’ll treat it like a “Do Not Disturb” sign. Guests can request housekeeping service through the Front Desk or PBX operator. If you’re keeping your pup in your room unattended, they’ve got to be secured in a crate. Inside voices, please — barking must be kept to a minimum to not disturb fellow guests.

The latest chapter in Ace’s long romance with New York, we built Ace Hotel Brooklyn from the ground up: every piece in service of the borough’s tireless ingenuity, made to move and breathe with the city itself.

— ACE HOTEL KYOTO —
Ace Hotel Kyoto was created in partnership with legendary architect Kengo Kuma and longtime collaborators Commune Design. It’s a place of honest dialogue with the city’s past and future legends, and Ace Hotel’s first outpost in Asia. 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. Part of the Shinpuhkan development, we’re in the middle of a vibrant marketplace filled with shops and cafes.

— ACE HOTEL NEW ORLEANS —
Ace Hotel New Orleans lives on the corner of Carondelet and Lafayette in one of the best cities on Earth. Housed in a nine-story building built for Barnett’s Furniture Store in 1928, Ace New Orleans’ rooms and public spaces are driven by a sense of design and wonder. We have a shimmering pool and bar on the roof, world-class dining and drink at Josephine Estelle, oysters and cocktails at Seaworthy, and intimate music venue Three Keys. We’re near art galleries and shopping museums and cocktails. It’s a quick jaunt to the French Quarter classics and just a bike ride to the lively Bywater and Marigny neighborhoods, with mystical nooks and corners you can explore on your own.

— 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 PORTLAND —
Ace Hotel Portland is in the former Clyde Hotel, a 100-year-old building in downtown Portland, Oregon. It’s a little modern, a little DIY, and very much in thrall to the history and heritage of Portland, with a penchant for creating something new. The feeling is library meets apartment meets speakeasy, and each room features work by local and international artists (some of whom also have pieces at Ace New York). You can borrow a bike or an umbrella from us for adventures around the city.
1022 SW Stark Street, Portland OR

— 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.

— ACE HOTEL TORONTO —
Ace Hotel Toronto was built bottom to top in the heart of Toronto’s vital Garment District, offering a future-facing homage to the neighborhood’s industrial warehouse roots. Created in partnership with award-winning Torontonian firm Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, Ace’s first Canadian home embraces the utopian promise of Toronto as a microcosm of the world, in all its layered tension and texture — a crossroads of global culture imbued with a history of progressive, transgressive art and ideas.
