The Standard
The Standard Hotels, in both Hollywood and downtown, arguably are better at this art thing than anyone. From day one, the Standard has woven contemporary art into the very fabric of its stellar brand, partly in a successful bid for the attention of the coveted artsy demographic and partly because the people who work there have a true affinity for progressive culture. They are frequently happy to produce or allow art shows, happenings, book parties, public forums and performances — recent highlights include projects by Sylvia Ji, Miranda July and Ryan McGinness — and every month the exterior wall on the Sixth Street façade of the downtown branch hosts a new mural. The company's website is itself a kind of cultural hub featuring news, blogs, online art projects, info on local events and the like, going well beyond visual art to feature literature, music, film, design and fashion, but it's the embrace of visual art as its central draw that has made the Standards what they are. 550 S. Flower St., dwntwn.; 8300 Sunset Blvd., W. Hlywd.

More About
Sunset Marquis
Maximillian Gallery at the Sunset Marquis updates the hotel art shop in dramatic fashion. Its location in a posh West Hollywood hotel makes its focus on street art an unlikely choice, but it works, and the gallery has a strong program and a bright future even when compared with more serious, nonhotel galleries. 1200 Alta Loma Road, W. Hlywd.
Mondrian
Down the street, the Mondrian has been sort of following suit, inviting this past summer the Artspace online art gallery to open a pop-up store that offered access to works by A-list gallery stars such as Kara Walker, Ross Bleckner and Kenny Scharf. The Mondrian also worked with Culver City kunsthalle LAXART to present its own pop-up, featuring graphics–inspired painter Bobbi Woods. This past summer, Nicole Cohen's fashion- and furniture-inspired video art installation kicked off with a performance night organized by See Line Gallery, which was beloved by cocktail culturati and art people alike. 8440 Sunset Blvd., W. Hlywd.
The Hollywood Roosevelt
And finally, speaking of the dream team of art, hotels and cocktails: Patrón tequila's new Simply Perfect Art Project invited artists to create one-of-a-kind works for auction in support of local organizations, occupying vacant but well-located storefront windows. In this case, while technically not a program of the Roosevelt Hotel, Simply Perfect is happening right now in its boulevard-facing windows. The L.A. edition benefits Los Angeles Art Association/Gallery 825, where all the artists doing the project are members. Throughout December it hosted mixed-media painter and sculptor Shizuko Greenblatt; painter Katherine Rohrbacher; sculptural installation artist YaYa Chou; and sculptor-photographer-performance artist Marjan Vayghan, who will be present evenings through Dec. 31. 7000 Hollywood Blvd., Hlywd.
