The Standard Hotel Property Sold, New Name Venue Will Be Resurrected In Its Sunset Strip Location
UPDATE: One of the Sunset Strip’s landmark hotel locations has been sold and plans to reopen under a new name.
The Standard Hollywood property — once one of the most iconic hotels on the Sunset Strip — has been purchased by developers Ian Schrager (the Studio 54 cofounder and hotelier) and Chelsea hotel founder Ed Scheetz, reports the Real Deal.
The website reports they intend to purchase signage rights and the operating lease. They will rebrand the hotel under a different name.
The Standard was beloved by the celebrity and nightlife set, but closed in 2021 after the pandemic decimated its business. It also had a downtown location, which remains closed and is not part of the Sunset Strip deal.
No time frame has been set for the reopened Sunset Strip location.
EARLIER: Sunset Boulevard celebrity hangout The Standard hotel in West Hollywood is scheduled to close Friday, ending a 22-year run as a site for numerous Hollywood parties.
The venue, formerly owned by hotelier Andre Balazs, who also owns the nearby Chateau Marmont,opened in 1999 with the financial support of Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Benicio del Toro, among others. The site’s showbiz roots were reflected in its interiors, originally created by film set designer Shawn Hausman.
“It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the closure of The Standard, Hollywood, which will shut its doors indefinitely on Friday, January 22nd,” said a post on the company website. “Despite 22 years of unconditional love for our hotel, our guests, our team and our community, the hotel was unable to prevent a significant increase to its lease, which makes operating the property impossible.”
The post continued, “Alive with personality & personalities, and the backdrop of countless legendary tales, Hollywood was the birthplace of The Standard’s culture. It came to life through its timeless design, live music performances at Desert Nights, blue Astroturf pool scene, living art in ‘The Box,’ and the many late, hazy nights at our nightclub incarnations: Purple Lounge, Mmhmmm and Giorgio’s. While there are and will be more Standard hotels, there will never be another Standard, Hollywood. And though it is painful to say goodbye, we know that the community we inspired will live on. Thank you for everything. We are eternally grateful.”
Balazs sold his interest in the property and its management company in 2017. There were five hotels called The Standard in the U.S., including locations in Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles, Miami, and two in New York. It is unclear whether the other sites are affected by the Sunset Strip closure.
The hotel was known for its upside down logo and its celebrity cache, thanks to the numerous parties thrown at the venue.
The Covid-19 pandemic has severely hurt the hotel industry. The hotel’s landlord, a Spain-based real estate investment firm, could not immediately be reached for comment on plans for the site.

Did Joe inadvertently pay for Hunter Biden’s wild night with a prostitute?

It’s May 2018, and Robert Hunter Biden is trawling through his favorite Los Angeles escort sites. He orders “Yanna,” a 24-year-old Russian native from Emerald Fantasy Girls.
“Russian, Green Eyes, Thin Brunette, an elite courtesan” is Yanna’s pitch, along with a menu of sex acts.
“Hi, My name is Rob. I’m staying at Chateau Marmont. Are you available now?”
Yanna goes to the cottage. He smokes crack, they drink vodka, have sex, make porn. He balances a line of M&Ms on his erect penis and takes photographs of it.
All of these messages, all of these pictures, are saved on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which he treats like a diary, storing every email and text conversation, his financial records, and his copious selfies. A year later, Hunter will forget the laptop at a Delaware repair shop, and it will end up in the hands of the FBI — and The Post.
Hunter’s escapades with Yanna are a glimpse into the president’s son’s debauched lifestyle, but it also raises questions about how much his finances were mingled with Joe Biden. As detailed in Hunter’s own text messages, two mysterious men would show up at his door one night asking curious questions.
On May 19, 2018, Hunter moves from his cottage at the Chateau Marmont to a cheaper hotel in West Hollywood, The Jeremy, where rooms are $469 per night. He orders an escort from Emerald Fantasy Girls. She stays for a couple days and wants to be paid. The problem is Hunter’s debit cards aren’t working and she’s not leaving without the $8,000 he owes her for the extended callout. On the morning of May 24, hung over and out of sorts, Hunter adds a new recipient on the cash transfer app Zelle, a woman named Gulnora, the registered agent for Emerald Fantasy Girls.
He transfers $8,000. It doesn’t work. A few minutes later, Wells Fargo sends him a fraud detection alert. He reaches into his wallet , pulls out a card and attempts to transfer the $8,000 but it apparently doesn’t go through. He rifles through his wallet again. No luck. He pulls out another card. Bingo.

But over the next few hours, his bank accounts are being emptied.
In receipts he saves on the computer, the transactions he thought had failed have gone through, one after the other. The first $8,000 is recorded leaving his account at 10:22 a.m. At 10:50 a.m., $2,000 leaves a different account. At 10:59 a.m., $3,500 vanishes. At 11 a.m., another $8,000. At 11:03 a.m., another $3,500. About $25,000 moves in under an hour. Another $3,500 is scheduled to transfer out later that afternoon but will be delayed.
Soon enough, his cellphone starts pinging. It’s Gulnora: “There is many transactions on my account,” she texts. “From last night 8k, 8k, 3500k. So get back with me when you can. So I can transfer back to you. Better if you call my personal.”
She follows up: “I’m happy to see that much in my account.” Her last text: “No worries you can have the rest back. Karma is a bitch.”
Hunter’s curt reply at 4:19 p.m.: “Send it back please.”
Text messages indicate most of the money was returned over the next week. But on June 12, Gulnora texted Hunter that she could not transfer the remaining $5,000 because of problems with her bank account. “Bulls–t,” replied Hunter. “I am so sick of this.”

What happens between Hunter and Gulnora next is not recorded. Her private cellphone number no longer works, and Emerald Fantasy Girls is defunct. Hunter Biden’s attorney did not return a message.
What we do know from the laptop is that a few hours after Hunter’s debit-card woes began, text messages start arriving that are labeled as being from Robert Savage III. Savage was once the Secret Service’s special agent in charge of the Los Angeles field office and a contact card for him appears on the laptop, with a photographic avatar, phone number and Secret Service email address.

The Secret Service told The Post that Savage retired from the agency on April 30, 2018 — weeks before the Biden debauchery — and that the agency “did not provide protection to any member of the Biden family in 2018.”
Savage’s lawyer says, “My client has never met or communicated with Hunter Biden.”
The activity recorded on Hunter’s devices shows Savage sending Hunter an urgent missive on May 24 at 6:37 p.m.: “H – I’m in the lobby come down. Thanks, Rob.”
Hunter replies: “5 minutes.”
Five minutes later, Savage texts again: “Come on H, this is linked to Celtic’s account. DC is calling me every 10. Let me up or come down. I can’t help if you don’t let me H.”
“Celtic” was Joe Biden’s Secret Service code name when he was vice president.
Did one of the credit cards used to pay Gulnora belong to Joe Biden? Was it a shared account?
Hunter replies: “I promise be right down. Sorry.”

Five minutes later, Savage texts Hunter again to say that Dale Pupillo, a retired deputy assistant director of the Secret Service, who used to guard his father, has arrived. Invoices indicate that Pupillo did background checks for Hunter on potential business partners. Pupillo did not return requests for comment.
“He’s going to front desk, call and tell them to give us a key now H.
“As your friend, we need to resolve this in the immediate.
“Call the front desk now H or I will have to assume you are in danger and we will have to make them give us the keys.”
For nine minutes, Hunter does not reply.
“Really, Rob I am coming down right now,” Hunter texts at 6:54 p.m. “I really promise. Was in the bathroom buddy. Coming right this second.”
Thirty seconds later, Savage replies: “We’re at your door. Open it.”
What these apparent minders told Hunter next isn’t recorded on his devices. We know Hunter stays up the rest of that night, logging into an encrypted government site, “secure.login.gov,” a number of times until 4:04 a.m.
In his memoir “Beautiful Things,” Hunter admits the crack cocaine bender consumes most of his 2018. It even gets him blacklisted from the Chateau Marmont. Late at night, on Thursday, July 19, 2018, Hunter is checking in at the front desk of the iconic Sunset Boulevard hotel, where John Belushi famously overdosed and Led Zeppelin threw ragers.
The night manager is about to hand over the familiar green silk-tassled set of room keys when he notices a warning note on Hunter’s file in the computer system. It stipulates the need to get pre-approval from the general manager before checking in.

“WTF man. Seriously WTF,” Hunter rages in a series of indignant texts with a Chateau bellhop the next night. “Seriously … a note in the system that says under no circumstances am I allowed in the building without her pre-approval. WTF man.”
Mike replies: “That’s f–ked, let me text someone.” Mike texts back a few minutes later: “Apparently you were banned for ‘drug use’ is what I was just told, which is bulls–t.”
Hunter: “Drug use???? You have to be f–king kidding me. I was banned for drug use at the Chateau Marmont. You have to be f–king me … Well that’s a f–king first in the Hotel’s history I guess. Should I take it as a badge of honor? I really mean it, that literally must be a first at the Chateau.”
A previous version of this story had all these events occurring at the Chateau Marmont. It’s been corrected to note Hunter Biden moved to another hotel, the Jeremy, in May 2018.
Miranda Devine’s book, “Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide,” comes out in September.
He continued:
I call him watermelon head. He’s got the thinnest neck I’ve ever seen, how it holds up that head. He’s got a neck that’s about a size 6. Very unattractive guy, both inside and outside, and people say, “Oh, that’s such a terrible thing to say.” That’s okay. Very unattractive guy. Here’s the thing, these are bad people, and it’s not easy to deal with, you know, when you have your kids involved, or your family, your wife, and you read stuff and most of it is untrue, it’s just totally untrue.
