Built on the foundation of a 1965 Howard Johnson hotel, Ace Hotel & Swim Club maintains functionality and simplicity without sacrificing the Ace aesthetic. Much of the property is an outgrowth of the original five-building structure. Just south of downtown and close to the mountains, the location allows easy access to everything. Facilities include a pool, a hot tub, a spa, a gym, massage yurts, plenty of hammocks and a stargazing deck. The Ace Hotel is not a boutique property-it is simply creating a neat experience based on a sense of place.
