The Standard Downtown La: Hip and Fun    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Standard Downtown is very chic. It's got modern furnishings.

    The best part of this hotel, however, is the rooftop bar and lounge. If you're really cool, try swimming in the pool while the wannabes drink around you. The bar has a spectacular view of Downtown LA.

    Oh... see above. The bar is worth going to. It's a hip hangout, though, so if you're not into that, then skip the whole Standard.

    The Standard Downtown La: The Standard Downtown: Hip and Modern    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Standard Downtown is the newest version of the very popular hotel on Sunset Blvd., The Standard. I normally would not recommend that visitors to L.A. stay downtown, just because it's a bit far from the major sights. However, this hotel is so chic and fun (not to mention fairly affordable) that I must give it some respect. If you're going to stay downtown, stay at The Standard Downtown.

    Like its sister hotel on Sunset Bl., The Standard Downtown is very modern & minimalist, very hip, and a gathering place for L.A. twenty-somethings. The rooms are decently sized and feature low, platform beds, white walls and straight, simple lines throughout. You'll also find CD players, trendy aromatherapy toiletries and large mini-bars. The bathrooms are large and decorated with marble. In the larger rooms, the bathrooms include a sculpture of a giant foot. It's definitely unique.

    Be sure to go up to the Rooftop Bar, one of the major reasons this hotel is such a success. The exposed rooftop offers amazing views of the downtown skyline and a wonderful pool. At night, it's frequented by beautiful people who sip martinis and lounge near the outdoor fireplace. The Rooftop Bar also present movie nights from time to time, where films are projected onto a neighboring building and can be watched from the rooftop.

    The Standard Downtown La: Heart of Sunset Strip    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • South Beachish with white deco decor, thumping club/bar, and outdoor pool parties.

    It is in the heart of Sunset strip so one can walk to nearby clubs and bars. This is good for two reasons, one it help eliminate drinking/driving, two parking is a pain. Twenty bucks to park in a public garage if the hotel parking is full or try meter parking which if you can find one ends at the stroke of midnight. Another good reason is that the traffic is no fun and who wants to spend the evening in traffic jams or looking for a parking spot.

    The Standard Downtown La: Good Addition    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • Chic but minimalist room, comfortable bed (on raised floor instead of bedsprings) and a shower with a glass wall towards the bedroom. Very functional and pleasant.

    The rooftop bar, which hotel guests get into for free and without waiting.

    The Standard Downtown La: party palace    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • This is a modern midprice hotel

    The rooftop bar is the scene...happy hour business men from the area. The evening crowd is full of movers and shakers.
    It has a pool and places that have waterbeds for laying around in....the night time the dance floor is packed you can see the lights all around the city. It makes for a breathtaking view.

    The Standard Downtown La: The Standard: Pretty Standard.    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • When I was in college, we would go to the Standard's rooftop bar quite often. A couple times we stayed here rather than getting an 8 minute cab ride back to school.

    Mini bar is good, has mini bottles of premium alcohol like splits of Veuve Cliquot and mini bottles of Patron and Grey Goose.

    The rooms are kind of weird- the beds are essentially mattresses on the floor... the shower is see-through in some of the rooms and is adjacent to the main bedroom.

    First staying at the Standard in Miami Beach, when I was transferred to SoCal I definately wanted to checks out this Andre' Balazs creation. Unimpressed witht he Hollywood location, the L.A. Standard actually topped the South Beach Creation. The lobby was ultra chic, with very sexy staff and guests. The check-in was was smooth and the room service was very quick, even at 2AM! Aside from all the coolsculptures and trendy design, the rooftop is the focus of this party-hotel. I LOVE the rooftop scene here. If you stay here, you get in, no questions asked, while if you don't- you might be waiting ahile to get up to the rooftop.

    The rooftop scene. The gorgeous pool. Unequaled in downtown L.A.
