Standard Hollywood

The Standard Hollywood, site of some of the Strip’s most sophisticated arts and culture and party events, offers spectacular views from some of its rooms in the back of the hotel, on the east and west ends looking out on Los Angeles.
The pool also offers a great view, and we don’t just mean of L.A. Unfortunately, the view of lower WeHo and beyond is partially blocked by a couple of trees, but there are enough openings in the foliage to impress. The Standard also offers two tower viewers poolside. The pool is open to those staying at the hotel and people stopping by to eat at 24/7 Restaurant.
