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."

"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"."

"This 569-room Beverly Hills hotel, the site of the Golden Globes, excels at affordable luxury." Full review
Rough Guide "This prominent, geometric white hotel at the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards has a pool and gym, plus in-room plasma TVs, boutique decor and balconies."
Time Out "Thanks to a remodel in 2007-2008 the rather tired decor has been replaced by a look that's both comfortable and handsome, classic but not wedged in the past." Full review
Star Service "One-half mile west of Rodeo Drive, this vast, nearly 9-acre hotel remains the largest, most commercial hotel in 90210 and one that leans heavily on conventions, tour groups and splashy media events." Full review
Gayot "All of the lovely rooms come with high-speed Internet access, and most boast lavish bathrooms and terraces with city views."
BlackBook "Cabana buffs chill by the pool awaiting more cooling mist and hairless boys. Health buffs get treadmills delivered to their rooms--those in the Wiltshire Tower are chicest."
