ACE HOTEL

1/11/2014

ACE HOTEL. I must admit that I haven't actually stayed here, but did check out a few of the rooms and enjoyed their raw industrial feel. I returned a number of times to enjoy the public spaces. I've been for a drink, a coffee and to hang out, work and use the wifi. It's definitely one hip place - the interior spaces, staff and guests. It's a thirty something's space where the overriding aesthetic and mood is super relaxed. The guy behind the bar was so relaxed that we laughed at the prospect of ever getting the Prosecco we ordered. It came eventually. Service is definitely not the point, and nobody seems to mind, the place is full of people together yet separate working away on the communal tables, and couples chatting discretely. The Dj keeps the mood inspired yet diverse, the coffee station meets continuous demand, and the guys at reception will serve you when they can. A place to enjoy when you have no time restraints, give in to the flow and enjoy the ride.
