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.

"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"."

Star Service "For guests who want to be in the midst of the Sunset Boulevard music scene, this is the only game in town." Full review
Gayot "This Mediterranean-style hideaway is located near the Sunset Strip, and its three-and-a-half acres include lush gardens with fish ponds, exotic birds and tropical foliage."
BlackBook "Few people who have been hanging around LA since 1963 look this good; posh hotel has had some work done."

""Feel like someone important" at this "totally rock 'n' roll" WeHo boutique, where the service is excellent and the "1960s-style" villas and suites have flat-screen TVs."
Jetsetter "A stay at Sunset Marquis places you in the heart of West Hollywood, convenient to Whiskey a Go Go and TCL Chinese Theatre. This 4.5-star hotel is close to Dolby Theater and Hollywood..." Full review
