ACE Hotel Lobby

I've been telling my friends about the company I work for and how we are associated with ACE hotels. None of them heard about ACE (and neither did I before I applied for this job) but once they saw the lobby, they were blown away as I was.

In the words of New York Metromix, it's as if "an Ivy League library had a three-way love child with a 1940s-style bank lobby and a Jasper Johns Americana art exhibit."

A few weeks back, the Observer did an article about how the lobby is like a free place for people to loiter and that it eventually drives in revenues because people come back for dinners and events. Not only does the architecture attracts patrons, the liberal atmosphere and the peculiar mood makes it a very interesting place to hang out.

Also, did you know that ACE has a blog of its own, affectionately named "Everything Will Be OK" and have people updating it constantly? Everyone likes a company that has a bit more soul.

Anyways, if you are an artsy guy or gal and are around Manhattan this summer, go check it out on 28th and Broadway. It's definitely worth your trip.
