Located on 29th and Broadway in the Midtown Manhattan Flatiron district, The Ace is a hip hotel in an unhip hood. In what was once the Hotel Breslin and SRO, the landmarked 1904 building has been completely renovated, while maintaining some of the building’s original details from mosaic tiled floors to coffered ceilings. With 258 rooms and 12 floors, Ace NY is the fourth outpost of Seattle’s Ace Hotel mini chain formed in 1999.
