Seeing as how I did a recap of our first anniversary at Bacara here, I thought I'd share the second as well : )
We love traveling with the pups, so we're always on the lookout for cool places that will let us bring them. My girlfriend Autumn had her birthday party at The Ace Hotel last year and we had such a great time, we thought we'd do it again.
The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs is a real throw back (in a completely fun way!). The rooms are decorated really cool and since we were bringing the dogs we opted for a room with a "front yard" which included a fireplace, lounge couch, table and a rocking chair.
Pepe and Carson really enjoyed hanging around out there:
The hotel has two pools and even a little dog run for the pups. The weather was perfect!
The morning before we left we stopped into the restaurant at the hotel for a little breakfast. The restaurant used to be a Denny's that they remodeled and made into the uber chic King's Highway Roadside Diner. I opted for the ricotta hotcakes with maple crunch butter and bananas.
Ummm, yummm! They were huge, but delicious!
The Ace is really a gem and is full of so many hidden delights! I would definitely recommend this place for it's super cool pool scene, it's fabulous food, and it's insightful comforts. Palm Springs is 2 hours from Los Angeles, but feels like a world away!

And if you ask very nicely… Linda in the diner will sing you a show stopping number. Perfect. Here is a taste: http://youtu.be/YrLOnGz-KhE
I love the ACE hotel!
