"The Palm Springs Ace Hotel, housed in what was once a Motel 6, is the party destination for hip young travelers heading to the desert."

Condé Nast Traveler
"Rather than the usual Rat Pack retro or duffer chic, this hip oasis is a slightly rugged desert escape. David Hockney, eat your heart out."

"With the hotel's vintage feel and hippie-chic decor, it would be no surprise to find the Grateful Dead playing in the bar."

Fodor's
"A party place built in 1958 and renovated in 2008, the Riviera attracts young, well-heeled, bikini-clad guests who hang out around the pool by day and the Bikini Bar by night."

Frommer's
"If you're looking for a rich dose of Palm Springs style without extreme pricing or snobbishness, the Riviera, about a mile north of the heart of downtown, will suit you."

Gayot
"Following a thoughtful, extravagant renovation, this iconic hotel re-emerged with more Hollywood allure than when it originally opened in 1959."
Wallpaper
"A lobby arcade functions as a microcosm of the hotel’s histories, with a series of small lounge vignettes featuring local artwork and photography and three new food and beverage spaces."
