Hey guys,

Af few buddies and I are planning to head to LA in June (4-8), and we're wondering where to stay at? We're leaning towards downtown right now becasue we're going to want to be in the middle of things during the day - but at night we're going to be going out hardcore everynight. Is there a better section of the city to stay? We're plannign to cab it to clubs right now unless there are better ideas.. We're also planning to spend max 150$ per nigth on a room, ones we've found downtown have averaged about 125$ ish. Any help would be greatly appreciated, we've got to book our rooms soon.

Justin

P.S. Anyone know of any big names in or near LA on those dates? I've been looking but haven't seen anyitng yet...

Yup the Stnadard on Sunset is where you want to be. There is also a hotel called the Graffton which is cheap and good. Either or will do you just fine. what ever you do do not stay down town as the only thing you will be in the middle of is Mexico.

Standard and Graffton are both on Sunset

The Millenium Biltmore is a very very nice hotel. It is right next to the US Bank building which is the tallest building in L.A. The water court is within walking distance. The Omni is also a nice hotel to stay at. It overlooks the watercourt and is about 1000 ft from the US Bank building.

Downtown is pointless. There is nothing there. Stay in Hollywood. Why waste money on a nice hotel if you'll just be out clubbing? I'd recommend the Vagabond Inn on Santa Monica. It's a short walk to the clubs, or a really cheap cab ride.

Stay at the hotels in citywalk. Nice place and literally mins away from hollywood. I stayed in hollywood the last time i was there.... I saw some hooker give a BJ to some dude... hahahhaa no BS! I suggest citywalk

come to think of it, stay at the Renessance. It is located in the heart of EVERYTHING.

No better choice and it is about $150 a night

actually, as much as i love the standard.. it really is not the best hotel in l.a. as far as having all of the elements.

not only was I born and raised in l.a., but i have spent quite a bit of time in l.a. hotels the past year especially because leon and I had to handle the djs when they came in to town.

we definitely had to go thru trial and error with many hotels to figure out which ones were really the best and not just hype.

my results:

the standard: cool as hell to look at. feels fun, modern, futuristic vibe.

shitty service

paper thin walls( i have had MANY DJs tell me they DO NOT want to stay at the standard for this reason. they couldnt sleep.

standard on sunset blvd. is better outta the 2 cuz its on the strip and you can just walk places.

downtown standard... whats the point?

anyone from l.a. can tell you that no one really goes to downtown.

downtown l.a. is mostly a shithole.

unless theres some special event like pvd at the mayan

or your going to an opera.

as far as staying in downtown to be "in the middle" of it all.... well its the exact opposite.

its farther, dirtier and uglier. every dj that we ever had stay in downtown ended up calling me to take them to hollywood, or beverly hills, or santa monica etc... none of thm wanted to be in downtown.

the clubs are in hollywood. my suggestion, personally, would be to stay at somewhere like the W Hotel in Westwood.
First of all, its right in the middle of santa monica and hollywood. you are 10 min away from the beach and 10 min away from hollywood.

2nd, you dont have to get on any freeways to get anywhere cool if you are in westwood. it is super central and you have both options.

westwood is nice.

the W hotel is so fucking cool. and if you are into dance music it is THE spot you need to be. they have blacklights in their elevators and in the elevators they play dance music, house, progressive trance. its crazy. it has a very very tight vibe and the service there is unreal. they have like 10 in the u.s. and they all have good reps.
another cool feature(i think standard has this too, at least used to) is that they give you a cd player in the room so you can bump your lil tunes b4 you go out.
the furniture is super modern and the rooms are really nice. good food too. also, in westwood, you can walk out of your hotel and get to anything you want within blocks- in n out burger, grocery store, liquor store, movies, restaurants, shops etc...


or i'd stay somewhere in santa monica near the beach.


anyway, nooooo downtown!!!! that is my advice.

good luck, have fun and make sure you stop by our club if your here thru a friday!
