I accidentally booked a room at both the Ace Hotel and the Greenwich one weekend, and after checking out the Ace I moved immediately to the Greenwich, which is vastly superior to the Ace (if much more expensive). The room I saw at the Ace was dark and cold-feeling, whereas the Greenwich feels like a warm if slightly spartan room in a rich friend's European lodge. I loved the comfy bed, the spaciousness of the room, and the sophisticatedly simple decor. That said, the Greenwich didn't feel entirely ideal to me. The wood finishings in the hallways look too new or something-- they seem to be going for an old lodge feel, but in that case they need to have that heavy wood piney smell, and they don't, so it just feels weird (perhaps this is because I grew up going to old lodges in the mountains that all had a very heavy scent of pine). The hard wooden floors were cool but like the hallway, felt like they needed some age or heft or something, or maybe just some warmer, furry area rugs-- something to warm up the space just a bit.

Things I liked: I loved the shower, very luxe. The pool and steam room were also luxurious. The library room on the first floor was beautiful; I made sure to stop there every evening on the way in to my room. Generally speaking, I slept well and felt warm and coddled by the space, if just slightly less comfortable than I would have felt had they somehow solved the new/hard surfaces problem.
