Fodor's Expert Review The Standard, Downtown L.A.
550 S. Flower St., Los Angeles, California, 90071, USA
Built in 1955 as the headquarters of Standard Oil, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs to become a sleek, cutting-edge hotel with spacious guest rooms. The indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge in a stunning setting has a happening social scene, but be prepared for some attitude at the door. For a less exclusive scene, the Garden Bar on the roof has games and great beer. The Paddle Room lounge is a haven for people-watching.
PROS
- 24/7 restaurant
- rotating pop-up events
- lively rooftop lounge
CONS
- disruptive party scene on weekends and holidays
- street noise
- pricey valet parking
