The other night I met up with a lovely couple who have become fairly recent friends- they both are successful and fun. Most importantly, they know how to have a conversation. With a relatively impromptu meet up for a non-profit art opening at the Mondrian Hotel in LA, we enjoyed the atmosphere (I also had a great conversation with a trio from Beirut- about the same latitude as LA). And with a hop-skip-& a-jump, off to the Standard Hotel to enjoy the food, atmosphere and live music while catching up on all of our lives. They are getting married soon so it was a great way to re-connect before they are in wedlock!
The interiors of both places and outdoor areas were noteworthy as they are both popular hotels on the sunset strip. Designed by the Starck-Schrager design hotel partnerships for the Mondrian and The Standard Hollywood by Andre'Balazs, the first of Balazs' Standard Hotels.
