Spendy hipsters from out of town (and surely a few would-be local staycationers of the same ilk) need not fret much longer when it comes to appropriately cool accommodations in Downtown Los Angeles. Finally, after well over a year of anxious waiting, the Ace Hotel has revealed they will be open in DTLA this fall.The boutique hotel chain slipped the opening info in via their Twitter page, adding to their bio: "Opening in Downtown Los Angeles in fall 2013." A ha! Now we know!
The Ace Hotel's second California location (the first is the uber popular Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, natch) is going to be in the old United Artists building. Plans have been to resurrect and feature prominently a movie theater that was used for premieres during the golden era of the silver screen. The building dates back to 1927. The hotel calls the storied and architectural significant site transformation "the kind of project we dream of."

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
