If you thought there was only one standard for spectacular hotel living in Los Angeles, you were wrong. There are actually two: the Standard Hotel in Downtown L.A., and the Standard Hollywood. Both properties are raising the bar for luxury hotels with their fabulously unique décor and amenities, and you can stay here without breaking the bank. The Standard Downtown L.A. is truly a standout in the pantheon of L.A. places to see and be seen. If Philippe Starck had designed sets for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, they would look like the Standard’s lobby. Don’t miss the Standard’s jaw-dropping rooftop pool and cocktail lounge, one of the sexiest hot spots in town. It’s filled with animal-shaped topiaries, water beds and red Formica chairs. You might catch a screening of Steve McQueen’s Bullitt being projected onto the side of the skyscraper next door. Rooms at the Standard reflect everything modern design aspires to be: sparse, elegant, soothing and extremely livable. Rooms are bathed in subdued shades of gray, orange, yellow, and beige, and each piece of furniture looks as if it was plucked from a Danish designer’s private showroom. Staying at the Standard is nothing less than a revelation: If you can find a room, grab it.

Standard Hotel Downtown

Reviewed by RFlannery on March 27, 2007

RFlannery's rating:

"The best word to describe this hotel would be Quirky.The sign out the front is upside down so straight away you know you are in for something different. The room decor is manly grey, orange and white & they are huge.The room I saw had a futon style bed and the bathroom was bizarre; it had a huge red foot (yes FOOT) as a table and the bathtub was the biggest I have ever seen - the sales director who showed us the room said the Los Angeles Lakers basketballers stayed in these rooms as they were able to stretch out comfortably in the bath!The roof has a night club on it which is very exclusive - need to know someone to get up there or else be a supermodel or celebrity. The seats are waterbed style and there is a pool in the middle for those that feel like a midnight dip.I definitely recommend you check this place out."

"The Standard in Downtown is the spot to stay at if you want to go out in LA. The rooms aren’t overly priced and offer some modern decor. Walking distance to some cool nightlife."
