Andre Balazs’ Standard hotels have revolutionized the concept of affordable yet stylish travel and set the standard for a unique hospitality experience. The Standard’s irreverent and playful sensibility, coupled with its careful consideration for design and detail, has had consistent global appeal for sophisticated travelers thereby firmly establishing the hotels as pioneers in the industry. There are currently four hotels in The Standard hotel group: Hollywood, Downtown LA, Spa Miami Beach, and New York.
