I went to a wedding in Palm Springs that was being held at the Ace Hotel.
- Role: backdrop
- In the book: She finds the hotel a generic aesthetic simulacrum, sits by the pool among influencers, and is fixated by the San Jacinto Mountains she cannot reach without a car.
- Why it matters: It supplies the contrast of placeless surfaces versus the attention-demanding land beyond; the hotel is minor.
