Ace Hotel

¢-$$, Belltown

User Rating: *** 3.3

Fodor's Review:

The Ace is a dream come true for both penny-pinching hipsters and creative folks who appreciate the chic minimalist decor. Almost everything is white -- even wood and brick elements of the original building have been painted over in some places -- except for the army surplus blankets on the beds and a few pieces of art on the walls (which include murals from überhip street art luminary Shepard Fairey). The cheapest rooms share bathrooms, which are clean, stand-alone units with enormous showers. Suites are larger (some have leather couches) and have full private bathrooms hidden behind rotating walls. A small dining room hosts a Continental breakfast and has a vending machine with unusual items like Japanese snacks. The Ace has guests of all ages, but understand that this is a very specific experience and aesthetic: if you're not soothed (or stimulated) by the stripped-down, almost austere quality of the rooms or not amused by finding a copy of the Kama Sutra where the Bible would be, you won't enjoy this place, no matter how much money you're saving.
