If you're getting tired of the summer staycation, here's an opportunity to grab.
Win 5 free nights in a suite at the Ace Hotel Palm Springs plus a $500 custom itinerary from Area Daily and a jetsetting prize package from Flight 001.
A decade ago Palm Springs was fighting the perception that neither it nor its clientele had really moved on from its mid-century heyday - but these days Palm Springs is once again a weekender for LA's young and stylish.
The Ace also happens to touch another one of our hot buttons: it's a refurbishment of a classic and slightly kitsch roadside motel, complete with a restaurant that used to be a Denny's 24-hour diner. Rooms are stylish, if not exactly luxurious, offering excellent value and extracting maximum vintage-chic from their humble materials.
There's a pool (naturally), and a spa that, in its casual unpretentiousness, makes a mockery of the typical "pampering" hotel-spa experience. Add a well-conceived and effortlessly hip hotel bar and the Ace vaults to the front line of the Palm Springs renaissance.
