"The couple behind the stylish Maison 140 and Avalon has created a fantasy environment that transports guests back in time to Colonial England."

"This 162-room hotel was so hot when it opened in 2002 that it immediately became the Viceroy Group's flagship hotel."

Try to get one of the rooms on the upper floors, with views of the ocean a couple of blocks away.

Time Out
"Housed in the former United Artists building, the hotel pays homage to LA's essence—a seamless harmony of California minimalism and downtown LA's signature art deco style."

"Located six blocks south of LA Live, Staples Center and the funky and fashionable Figueroa Hotel, this is perhaps the tiny independent Ace chain's best offering to date."

The Loft Suites are stunning, but avoid views over the noisy and unsightly construction site next door, at least until it is completed.
Gayot
"Design is modern, simple and tasteful --- and in the case of the downtown L.A. Ace, it's also laced with a touch of history."
Zagat
"The hyper-trendy Ace Hotel chain comes to DTLA, taking over the ornate 1927 United Artists Building, with its lobby built to emulate the grand movie palaces of the day."
Fodor's
"L.A.'s newest hipster haven wears multiple hats as a hotel, theater, neighborhood diner/coffee shop, and series of lounges, where you can bar-hop by elevator."
