Standard LA Downtown 4.5 Stars

Located in downtown Los Angeles’ financial district, the Standard Downtown Los Angeles fuses trendy, cutting-edge design with fine accommodations and gracious hospitality. The property is within blocks of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Staples Center, Nokia Theater and Walt Disney Concert Hall. Upon entering the building, you are greeted by vast marble flooring, a 125 foot fuchsia “Omnibus” sofa by Vladimir Kagan and a conceptual art installation by Jenny Holzer, all offset against 50s era architectural features including a 15 time zone clock encased in stainless steel. Guests can witness DJs spin nightly in the lobby lounge while enjoying delicious cocktails. The chic vibe extends beyond the lobby and into all 207 of the hotel’s comfortable, sleekly designed rooms, which include platform beds with down pillows and duvets, mood lighting, see-through bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers or bathtubs, and spacious closets. In addition, rooms come equipped with such amenities as flat screen TVs, DVD players, video games and complimentary internet access.

Once you decide to venture outside your room, a world of fun and entertainment awaits you on the hotel rooftop, which affords stunning views of downtown Los Angeles and features a heated outdoor pool, red astro-turf sundeck, outdoor fireplace, waterbed cabanas and dance floor. Nightly DJs, mouth-watering food and tons of special events have established the Rooftop Bar as one of LA’s most prized nightlife hot spots. Moreover, the 24/7 Restaurant at Standard Downtown Los Angeles is a California brasserie that serves American cuisine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The vibrant interior features yellow booths and a diner-style counter, as well as an outdoor patio complete with a water fountain that spouts flames.
