Ace Hotel is a chain of hotels headquartered in Portland, Oregon. It operates hotels in Portland, New York, Palm Springs, Panama City, Panama, London, Seattle, and Los Angeles. ==History== The first Ace Hotel opened in 1999. Friends Alex Calderwood, Wade Weigel, and Doug Herrick purchased and transformed a Seattle halfway house into an affordable hotel that would appeal to the creative class. Calderwood and Weigel had previously founded Rudy's, a barbershop concept they started in Seattle that eventually expanded to more than a dozen West Coast locations, and a marketing and advertising company known as Neverstop. In 2007, Jack Barron joined the team, and a second hotel was opened in Portland, followed by properties in Palm Springs in 2009.〔 〕 In 2011, Ace Hotel collaborated with the cosmetics brand uslu airlines to create a nail polish sold in the hotels' mini bars. In 2013, an Ace Hotel opened in the Shoreditch neighborhood of London,〔http://www.huhmagazine.co.uk/5570/first-look-ace-hotel-london-shoreditch〕 as well as a property in Panama by the name of American Trade Hotel. Soon after, the downtown Los Angeles location opened. Calderwood had stated a goal of opening a new Ace Hotel every "one to two years." He died in November 2013, shortly after the opening of the London Shoreditch hotel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/17/nyregion/alex-calderwood-creator-and-face-of-the-unconventional-ace-hotel-chain-dies-at-47.html?_r=0 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ace Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
