Cool Spots to Cool Down At - The Standard, Hollywood and The Standard, Downtown LA

A day at the pool is a day well spent. Now add in great ambiance, must-see skyline backdrops, and a delicious array of refreshing cocktails, and this is one day we want to relive all summer long.

It’s hard to find the idyllic pool that makes a splash, in and out of the water. Lucky for you, we’ve found two pools that have all of the above, and then some. So, grab your suits, sunnies, and sunscreen, and head to The Standard L.A. properties for your next day in the sun.

Located in the heart of West Hollywood, The Standard, Hollywood sits along the legendary Sunset Strip. The first of The Standard hotels, The Standard, Hollywood is truly an original. So too is its pool deck, located within the property. Decorated in cobalt blue AstroTurf, it is the quintessential Hollywood destination for L.A. residents and traveling guests. The Standard, Hollywood’s pool deck provides sunbathers a laid-back atmosphere, while offering a Ping-Pong club, power lunches, and pool parties. While pool access is reserved for hotel guests, day passes are available for purchase based upon availability.

Make your way downtown and you’ll find our second go-to pool. Located in central downtown Los Angeles, The Standard, Downtown LA’s rooftop pool and bar awaits. In addition to offering guests access to its pool and poolside bar, The Standard, Downtown LA also provides panoramic views of Downtown Los Angeles and the hills behind. Its pool deck, which is decorated with red AstroTurf, includes waterbed cabanas, an outdoor fireplace, and most importantly a dance floor. Whether you are looking to catch rays during the day, or spend the night dancing away, the pool at The Standard, Downtown LA is where you should play.
