ace hotel, palm springs

so in case you are ever feeling down-in-the-dumps about yourself, do not visit the ace hotel in palm springs. you will leave feeling old, lame & extremely uncool. I have never been surrounded by so many skinny, aviator-wearing, tattooed, asymmetric-haircut hipsters in my life (I should also mention that there was a photo-shoot going on for american eagle, so there were a plethora of 95-pound models hanging around too). it was depressing. but this place is incredible. amazing design & signage everywhere you turn. it could not be a hipper hotel.

 {the pool, which is aptly named the "swim club", complete with bar & DJ}

 {great signage everywhere}

  {pool rules. I'm pretty sure there's one on there that says, "must be young & hot to enter"}

  {the rooms - some had patios with fire pits & couches}

  {how cool is this? by the second pool swim club}

  {the american eagle spring photoshoot. just look at those beauties scowl at me ;) }
