Folks are looking at the Standard Hotel but what about the owner / management?
Dig on Amar Lalvanti : Standard International CEO:
In late 2013, an investor group called Standard International purchased an 80% stake in the hotel group. Amar Lalvani is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of Standard International.
Standard International (Management) is essentially a holding company now, which was formed about three years ago. The basis of it was the Standard brand.
Amar Lalvani in the news:

“https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2010/12/22/hilton-and-starwood-settle-dispute/”
…Hilton hired two Starwood executives, Ross Klein and Amar Lalvani, to develop a new lifestyle brand.
In March 2009, with great fanfare, Hilton introduced Denizen Hotels aimed at what it described as “globally-conscious modern travelers.”
A month later, Starwood sued Hilton, Mr. Klein and Mr. Lalvani, accusing them of stealing more than 100,000 documents containing Starwood’s “most competitively sensitive information.” Starwood also claimed that the theft had been condoned by the highest levels of Hilton management.
The lawsuit claimed that before they left Starwood, Mr. Klein and Mr. Lalvani stole thousands of confidential documents from their employer that effectively were the blueprints for beginning a hotel brand. These included a concept Starwood had been developing called the “zen den.” The complaint noted that Hilton executives referred to the Denizen brand as a “den of zen.”
The settlement restricts Mr. Klein and Mr. Lalvani from working at certain hotel companies for the next two years.
“Amar is very pleased that this matter has been amicably resolved and looks forward to focusing his attention, energy and considerable talents on more productive and constructive endeavors,” said Christopher J. Morvillo, Mr. Lalvani’s lawyer.
“We continue to deny the allegations in the complaint, but we’re glad this civil matter is behind him and will continue to act ethically and with integrity in the future,” said Ronald J. Nessim, a lawyer for Mr. Klein.
