"The once-buzzy former Standard Hotel space in Downtown Los Angeles has new life this week. The 209-room building on Flower Street, once the headquarters of Superior Oil, spent years as a cool-kid hangout (complete with rooftop pool) and now will play host to a whole new generation of travelers and staycation locals under the name the Delphi Hotel. What’s more, the property has begun to roll out a suite of food and beverage areas, beginning first with a lobby-level lounge and bar serving breakfast, coffee, afternoon snacks, and evening cocktails. Future plans involve a diner built into the property, a new rooftop hangout near the pool (complete with a so-called “secret” garden), and more lobby-level dining and lounge areas including a private bar." - Farley Elliott
