Combining exciting bar action with a rooftop pool and an incredible panoramic view of the city, the downtown Standard Hotel is one of the most unique and modern party destinations in Los Angeles. Attracting a young and beautiful crowd, this slick, modern space provides sunny afternoons, exciting evenings and sultry nights set to electronic music on the dance floor.
Spending a sunny afternoon splashing in a pool surrounded by heady beats, beautiful people and skyscrapers is an iconic Los Angeles experience, and the rooftop pool and bar of the Standard Hotel in downtown hosts some of the city's top summer parties with their Swimming with Sharks series. Taking place on select Saturday afternoons in the summer from 1PM to sunset, this carefree event features live music, free vodka jello shots, poolside action and drink specials on Champagne ($35) and beer ($5). You'll also find a fun photo booth along with the Standard's plush rooftop surroundings, including vibrating water bed pods, sculpted topiaries, a crackling fireplace and beautiful views of the LA city skyline. For each party a different set of DJs brings a distinct sound to the rooftop event, from disco funk and deep house to future bass and trap. Unlike most events in LA, which require a thorough pat down before entry, this funky pool party actually encourages you to bring your weapons - as long as they are water guns, splash cannons or super soakers. This Los Angeles summer pool party is 21+ and cover is only $10 when you RSVP at www.swimmingwsharks.com/la.
