Ace Hotel Palm Springs

The Ace Hotel Palm Springs is a mid-century modern desert oasis at 701 East Palm Canyon Drive that has been a cultural touchstone in the region since its opening. The property was originally built as the Westward Ho Hotel in 1965 and carries that laid-back, folk-modern energy that defines the Ace brand's Palm Springs expression. Two pools, fire pits, a full-service spa, and the King's Highway roadside diner create a destination experience that extends well beyond a single night. The music programming centers on the Amigo Room, an intimate lounge inside the hotel that hosts jazz on Wednesday evenings and vinyl DJ sets on Thursdays, with weekend DJs rounding out the week. The capacity in the Amigo Room is small, making every performance genuinely intimate. The outdoor pool area occasionally hosts larger events, particularly during festival weekends when the Palm Springs area draws a regional music audience. For a listener visiting Palm Springs, the Ace Hotel's music programming is best understood as part of a complete desert experience rather than a destination concert venue. The combination of a carefully curated music schedule, a beautiful desert setting, and the hotel's design-conscious aesthetic makes an evening at the Amigo Room one of the more distinctive music experiences in the Coachella Valley.
