    We found a neglected treasure — a mid-century desert modern former Westward Ho with a Denny’s — dusted it off, gave it some love and made it into Ace Hotel & Swim Club. Our 179-room hotel, spa and resort in Palm Springs, California is within biking distance of downtown and close to cool stuff like Joshua Tree, the Salton Sea, Salvation Mountain, all kinds of historic desert modern architecture and tons of great vintage shopping. It's also the best place in Palm Springs to get a laid-back massage or natural treatment at the Feel Good Spa, by the pool or in your room. Two big pools, a vintage photobooth, award-winning room service, free WiFi and a gym round out the basics. Bring your kids, bring your dog— we're family and pet-friendly. There is a big event space where you can get married, throw a party or have a big-deal meeting. The design is organic and bohemian. Some rooms have a garden patio or a fireplace. Some have record players and old vinyl you can play in your room and take home with you for a few bones. There are also communal fireplaces located throughout the hotel. There's fragrant shampoo from Rudy's Barbershop, and minibars with really addictive caramel popcorn. We collaborate with friends to curate amazing music for the lobby and poolside, and on weekends there's a DJ scene at the pool. Almost every night there's something going on at the Amigo Room bar — live music, DJs, bingo, crafting, karaoke and the occasional special event like our annual Craft Beer Fest. It's open late, so join the party whenever. We also throw parties with live music and DJs during Coachella, Gay Pride, White Party and Dinah Shore.

    Tommy's Beverly Hills

    250 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA

    Restaurant with a curated Californian theme and contemporary Italian influences, led by Chef Vartan Abgaryan. Canon Drive is the address, and it's right in the middle of Beverly Hills.

The menu, which was curated by Chef Vartan Abgaryan, was influenced by both contemporary Italian cuisine and California cuisine.

There are seats available beneath tan arches and wrapping vines, less than half a block away from well-known establishments such as Spago and the Palm, and directly across the garden from the posh hotel and restaurant known as the Maybourne.
