Recommended the Standard to some trendy tourist friends visiting from out of town, and they absolutely loved it. Terminally hip, glamorously superficial and thoroughly entertaining, the Standard epitomizes everything they believe about L.A. And though it's not my regular scene, I had a blast visiting their room (get a south-facing room, preferrably on a corner), hanging out in the bar and making merry out by the pool. Reminded me how fun this side of L.A. can be if you don't take it too seriously.
Pros: L.A. glamour
Cons: Parking
