NEW YORK DOLLS

On location: Imagine hitting the best rock clubs, checking out lowbrow artists on display at up-and-coming galleries, and browsing a history museum—all in one night. That’s the idea behind a stay at New York City’s Ace Hotel, where these photos were shot. For the museum fix, Ace’s historic rooms (the building dates to 1904) are scattered with vintage furnishings, custom pieces, and antiques curated by design firm Roman & Williams. The art comes from artists such as Brooklyn-based graphic guru Mike Perry and duo Doug Cunningham and Jason Noto, who got their start designing skateboards. There’s even a Michael Anderson mural composed of hundreds of graffiti stickers in the lobby (check out page 61 for a glimpse). So where does the rock ‘n’ roll come in? Take your pick: the lobby bar that looks like a stage set, the turntables parked next to stacks of vintage records, or your own iPod (all the rooms have stereo docks). With all that going on, plus the Breslin Bar and Dining Room—a carnivore’s delight from the crew at The Spotted Pig—there’s really no reason to take to the streets.
