Inside the Ace Hotel
Our friends at Hotel Chatter are the first to get inside the Ace Hotel and there is oh so much to report. Let's get right to it:
The room has a very residential feel which includes full size SMEG refrigerators (think That 70's Show) stocked with goods from local NYC names like Brooklyn Brewery.
The best part of the minibar is that it is not so mini. The fridge I saw had a complete six pack of beer from Brooklyn Brewery. The room was also equipped with a turntable and acoustic guitar (strange but cool.)
From what I saw room types will include everything from smaller bunk bed rooms up to 2 bedroom suites. I toured a suite still in demo phase and it was very large. I think this hotel will offer a great option for people looking to stay in a hip hotel in a fantastic central location in NYC at all price points.
But will there be records? And how much does each bottle of Brooklyn cost? We're guessing yes and $6. According to HC, the hotel is gunning for a Winter 08/09 opening, just in time for the first Holiday travel season of the current recession. This could be a real bargain stay for those who already booked their flight. We can't wait.
