Our promise is to ensure that a stay is an experience and that a memory means making friends and having stories to tell. To understand why it exists is to understand that The Standard is a platform for people to meet, engage, learn, dine, sleep, dance, hideaway, make-believe, and do so while being yourself and having fun doing it.

We think of ourselves as a stage, not just a hotel. Here, you can become whomever you like, even if for just a night. Here, you will meet new friends, find new challenges, eat new food, stay up late, sleep in later, and never even leave the property. We are unapologetically comfortable with disrupting expectations. It’s WHO WE ARE!
