We are proud of this one…. ACE HOTEL is a chain of hotels that selects prime locations such as Chicago, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, and even Panama! Nearly 100 years ago the original building was constructed. The Architect of Record GREC Studios selected materials that paid respect to the old face brick when designing the restoration elements of the facade.
Aside from the restoration portions of the hotel, there are two new buildings. One features a Black Pearl brick and another opted for an Alaska smooth brick for an extreme contrast. The manufacturer has two factories in Colorado. Check out the restoration quality, but new construction, steel windows by Coast to Coast.
