Offering top class accommodation, The Standard Downtown LA Hotel is a great place to stay for a luxury break in Los Angeles as it is an absolutely beautiful hotel with a stunning rooftop terrace and bar for guests to enjoy. Located in the very heart of The City of Angels just a block and a half from 7th Street subway station, The Standard Downtown LA gives guests easy access to all this fabulous place has to offer. The friendly staff pride themselves on providing the highest quality service and to ensuring you have everything you need during your vacation in LA. Make the most of the hotel's huge mezzanine lobby where you can relax on the 125-foot fuchsia Omnibus sofa by Vladimir Kagan, play a game of billiards or admire the Calder-inspired art installation by Jenny Holzer. The lobby bar serves cocktails and a light menu, accompanied by music. If you're organising a meeting or event, just ask the receptionists to direct you to the event rooms and spaces that this great LA hotel can provide. Dinner is served in the hotel restaurant best described as a California brasserie serving a tantalising menu of New American cuisine. The colourful interior features yellow booths, perfect for a romantic dinner or you can dine on the outdoor patio by the flaming water fountain. Don't worry about piling on the pounds with all the delicious food you'll be tasting, in true LA style there is a fully-equipped gym at your disposal.

pros: bar, poolThe title says it all. I think it's a prerequisite for working here; only complete A-holes need apply. I've stayed here 4 times, swearing that I wouldn't again each time, but it's actually a fun place otherwise. So, if you can get...
pros: bar scene, fun, people watchingEverything about The Standard is funky. The rooms, the items in the minibar and the waterbeds in the bar on the roof.
People keep saying it is overpriced. Where do you normally stay? Super...
We own a couple of businesses in downtown LA and we often have meetings at restaurants.We had a business meeting for lunch today and a client ordered a Grilled Cheese with NO BACON. The sandwich came and it was not what he ordered. The bacon was all ...
pros: Unusual Furniture, Minimalistic, Showers & Tubs In our stay at the Standard we were blown away, but also it is everything that you think about LA all packaged up into one building. It is like a circus, with really plastic, really beautiful...

Mediocre
pros: Cool BarThe rooms are very subpar, if you're in your early twenties and looking for a party hotel, this is it. If you're looking for the comforts of a nice hotel, this is definitely not the place. No vending machines in the hotel, ice maker...

pros: Great rooftop bar, Hot Party Scene, Cool DesignThis hotel is worth visiting for the rooftop bar scene alone. The rooms themselves are a different story altogether. Rooms come equipped with virtually no amenities (shampoo and soap were thrown...
