"An affordable bastion of cool aimed at the business traveler, the Standard is nothing if not amusing."
Fodor's
"Built in 1955 as Standard Oil's company's headquarters, the building was completely revamped under the sharp eye of owner André Balazs, giving it a sleeky, cutting-edge feel."

Be sure to locate the complimentary ear plugs before bed as the rooftop party goes on until the wee hours.

If you're a light sleeper, request a room away from the pool area, where the occasional nighttime pool party can get loud.

"These days, the Avalon also includes two newer buildings, and the property's style is a hip homage to mid-century-modern style."
DK Eyewitness
"This cool Beverly Hills hot spot has intimately lit cabanas that fringe the curvaceous pool."
Rough Guide
"A hipster-oriented hotel with cosy rooms and modern furnishings, along with in-room CD players, balconies and internet access (for a fee)."
