Why stay at The Standard Hollywood?
Come for:
The superhip decor
To party in the cool playpen roof bar
Trying to nab a bunny from Hef in the club
Not suitable for:
Silent nights and light sleepers
Eating in:
The super-hip diner-style restaurant is open 24/7 and offers standard coffeeshop grub with an international twist. Room service is also offered 24 hours and the bar stays open until 1.30 a.m. Try and nab a poolside table.
Eating out:
There's plenty to choose from in LA, and guests here are just as likely to go to The Ivy as make a late night stop at a nearby In-and-Out Burger. A hint, diners at In-and-Out know the menu has infinitely more choices than displayed, order a double-double with Animal-style fries and a Neapolitan shake.
