Location: poolside escape vs. downtown base

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs – Location

Ace sits on East Palm Canyon Drive a short walk from botanical and mountain sights but outside the downtown core.

  • About a 10-minute drive from Palm Springs International Airport (approximate).
  • Close to Moorten Botanical Garden and San Jacinto Mountains (walkable).
  • Shuttle service on request and local bus stop nearby.

Better if you want easy access to natural attractions and a resort feeling without being in the busiest downtown block.

Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel – Location

Kimpton Rowan is located in downtown Palm Springs, steps from the Palm Springs Art Museum and Forever Marilyn.

  • Address: 100 W. Tahquitz Canyon Way, within a short walk of multiple downtown galleries and restaurants.
  • Near Palm Springs Convention Center and local cultural sites.
  • Preferred airport is Palm Springs Intl. Airport (PSP).

Better if your priority is walkable access to downtown museums, shops and the city’s main public squares.

Rooms: retro guestrooms vs. polished boutique rooms

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs – Rooms

Ace offers mid-century–influenced rooms and a modest set of suites emphasizing design and comfort.

  • 179 guestrooms including 11 suites and design by Commune.
  • Room types include Superior Suite, Deluxe Room, and Superior Room variants.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi included with resort fee; resort fee and parking policies apply.

Choose Ace for characterful, design-forward rooms tied to the hotel’s retro architecture.

Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel – Rooms

Kimpton Rowan provides a broad set of room types from Essentials to premium spa suites with a polished boutique feel.

  • 153 guestrooms with a range of room names (e.g., Room, 1 King Bed (View), Premium King Room with Tub and Walk-In Shower).
  • Rooms include laptop-compatible safes, minibars, and designer toiletries.
  • Wi‑Fi is available for a daily surcharge per supplier listing.

Pick Kimpton Rowan for a refined downtown room inventory and practical in-room conveniences.

Dining & drinks: casual diner and dive bar vs. multiple restaurants

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs – Dining & drinks

Ace keeps dining casual and social with a diner-style restaurant and a cocktail bar.

  • King’s Highway serves seasonal American fare and all-day La Colombe coffee.
  • The Amigo Room is a cocktail bar with live music and DJ nights.
  • Poolside food and drinks are available during Swim Club hours.

Ace is for informal, music-forward dining and late-night cocktails in a relaxed setting.

Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel – Dining & drinks

Kimpton Rowan lists three restaurants and two bars, offering more on-site dining variety in a downtown context.

  • Featured Mediterranean cuisine at Four Saints and other on-site options.
  • Room service available during limited hours per supplier listing.
  • Poolside bar and rooftop terrace provide additional drink settings.

Kimpton Rowan suits travelers who want multiple on-site dining choices and quieter, sit-down meals near downtown.

Pools & signature amenity: two-pool Swim Club vs. rooftop pool

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs – Pools & signature amenity

Ace centers the guest experience around two outdoor pools and regular Swim Club programming.

  • Two outdoor pools: an adults-only Main Pool (18+) and an all-ages Commune Pool.
  • Pools generally open daily from 7 AM to 2 AM for hotel guests; Main Pool hosts weekend DJs.
  • Resort fee covers pool access and related amenities.

Ace is the clear pick if the pool program (multiple pools, DJs, pool parties) is your main reason to travel.

Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

Kimpton Rowan offers a single outdoor pool and a rooftop terrace that functions as a social space.

  • One outdoor pool listed in supplier amenities and poolside bar access.
  • Rooftop terrace provides an elevated public space for views and gathering.
  • Pool environment aligns with a refined downtown hotel profile rather than heavy party programming.

Kimpton Rowan is better if you want a quieter pool experience paired with rooftop access and downtown views.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and late-night programming vs. polished hotel services

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs – Wellness & nightlife

Ace mixes a full-service spa and 24-hour fitness options with lively evening entertainment.

  • Feel Good Spa offers massages, facials, body scrubs, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and massage yurts (age limits apply).
  • 24-hour fitness center with modern equipment, sauna and steam room.
  • Active nightlife programming: live concerts, DJ sets, bingo nights, and a weekend nightclub vibe.

Ace combines robust spa and fitness facilities with a louder, event-driven nightlife program.

Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Kimpton Rowan provides on-site spa services, a 24-hour fitness center, and a more restrained evening atmosphere.

  • Spa services available on site (supplier listing) and a 24-hour fitness facility.
  • Hotel hosts bars and restaurants but does not publish the same level of weekend pool-party programming as Ace.
  • Concierge and full-service hotel amenities support meeting and event guests.

Kimpton Rowan is preferable when you want spa and fitness access without a party-first atmosphere.
