Concierge "An affordable bastion of cool aimed at the business traveler, the Standard is nothing if not amusing."
Fodor's "Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel." Full review
Insight Guides "One of the hippest places is the poolside bar on the roof."
Jetsetter "Downtown LA’s original party palace with a retro-style diner, killer pool scene and high-design rooms." Full review

Be sure to locate the complimentary ear plugs before bed as the rooftop party goes on until the wee hours.
Oyster Mid-Range
"The poolside view is still hard to beat, the design is still striking, and the prices can dip way low." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Downtown’s first trendy hotel made an immediate splash when it debuted in 2002."
Star Service "The style, facilities and attitude-laden staff do their part to make this celebrity merry-go-round of a hotel stand on its own." Full review

Whatever you do, avoid the rooms near bars and dining outlets!
Gayot "A new era of revitalization for downtown L.A. took off running with the opening of the downtown Standard hotel."
BlackBook "Former oil company HQ. Rooms come in 10 sizes with hot stereos, giant TVs and some with transparent showers, so bring a conservative Christian friend and start snapping pics."
Zagat3.8
"For the "full-on LA experience", stay at this Downtown "hipster" boutique where you'll see "lots of movie stars – or attractive people who just look like stars"."

Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Like Ron Burgundy, this elegant tower is staying classy." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The rooms seem an afterthought at New York hotelier Ian Schrager’s celebrity outpost. The Cuban-Asian eatery, pool deck, and hip Sky Bar provide stylish hobnobbing territory."
Travel + Leisure "This fashionable property from the Morgans Hotel Group has endured on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip since 1996." Full review
Time Out "It still carries a certain amount of star quality, despite several recent changes, not least a redesign by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz." Full review
Star Service "Rooms facing the front have Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard views, while the preferred units in back have pool views and city views." Full review
Gayot "Though not the fanciest hotel in town, this one is certainly among the hippest."
BlackBook "Rooms may have a little wear and tear, but still a party. Streamlined and modern, with clean colorful lines, baroque flourishes."
Zagat4.3
"This "chichi" West Hollywood star may not be "quite as hip as it used to be", but it's still "full of beautiful people" and remains "visually stunning", with "gorgeous" views of the city."
