Fodor's Expert Review The Standard
8300 Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, California, 90069, USA
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Hotelier André Balazs created this kitschy Sunset Strip hotel out of a former retirement home, and a '70s aesthetic abounds with pop art, shag carpets, and suede sectionals in the lobby, and beanbag chairs, surfboard tables, and Warhol poppy-print curtains in the rooms. Scenesters appreciate the nightly DJs spinning, summer parties on the pool deck, and the choose-your-own checkout time. Popular Croft Alley runs all the F&B at the hotel, and the diner-style restaurant in front is open 24/7.
PROS
- late-night dining on-site
- choose-your-own checkout time
- secret nightclub, mmhmmm
CONS
- for partying more than for resting
- staff can be aloof
