Standard Hotels

The Standard Hotels is an international boutique hotel chain founded in 1999 and operated by Standard International Management. Its two original properties, in Hollywood and Los Angeles, closed in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

In October 2024, Hyatt Hotels completed the purchase of Standard International, the company responsible for managing The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels.

The first Standard Hotel, The Standard, Hollywood, opened on the Sunset Strip in 1999 in West Hollywood, California. It was developed by Andre Balazs Properties. The structure was originally built in 1962 as the Thunderbird Motel, and had become a retirement home when Balazs purchased and remodeled it. Original investors in the Hollywood hotel were Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Benicio del Toro, D'arcy Wretzky and James Iha.

In 2002, the former headquarters of the Superior Oil Company (completed in 1956) a twelve-story, marble-clad building was converted into The Standard, Downtown LA in 2002. The renovation was designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Inc., and included the addition of a rooftop pool and bar, and a two-story lobby space reconfigured from the old banking hall. In 2003, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building was rebranded as The Delphi Hotel in 2023.

In 2006, The Standard Hotels expanded to Miami Beach, where they opened The Standard Spa, Miami Beach. Located on Biscayne Bay, The Standard Spa, Miami Beach, is a holistic and hydrotherapy-oriented spa hotel.

In 2008, The Standard Hotels brand opened The Standard, High Line hotel. It was the first time the brand built a property from the ground up, rather than renovating an older space. The design was the work of the Ennead Architects.

In 2011, Andre Balazs Properties completed the acquisition of The Cooper Square Hotel. The building was gutted and transformed into The Standard, East Village.

In the Fall of 2013, the brand's founder, Andre Balazs, sold an 80% stake in the company to Standard International.
