Quick Verdict: Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs vs The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows

When Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs wins: pick Ace if you want a social, activity-rich stay — two pools (one family-friendly, one adults-only), regular live music/DJs, and a casual all-ages restaurant and cocktail bar.

When The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows wins: pick The Colony Palms for a more restrained, upscale adults-only stay with bungalow room types, a full-service spa, and a single pool with poolside dining and a fine-dining restaurant.

Bottom line: both are boutique Palm Springs options near downtown, but Ace leans younger and event-driven while The Colony Palms favors a quieter, upscale bungalow hotel experience for adults.
