The Bar/Lounge at Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs

"With the hotel's vintage feel and hippie-chic decor, it would be no surprise to find the Grateful Dead playing in the bar as guests gather around cozy communal fire pits enjoying the feel-good vibe"

"For extra lounge space, book a Patio Room for a living area and patio decked out with rugs, potted plants, and sofas"

"While rooms have everything for a comfortable night in, including record players and 42-inch flat-screen TVs, guests here seem to prefer to head out --- to their enclosed patios with intimate fireplaces or the pool where DJs often spin music and visiting scenesters savor alcoholic snowcones while bartenders cruise around on skateboards"

"Happening pool scene, the Feel Good Spa, an on-site restaurant and bar to boot"

"The windowless, dark bar, the Amigo Room, recalls a 1970s lounge even as it searches out the best locals microbrews to serve on its nearly two dozen taps, so you can feel both current and retro in the same sip"
