Sam and I have always loved road trips, quirky hotels, and getting out of town. But going from carefree college students to working "adults"and finding time for long-term escapes has become slightly more difficult. One of our favorite ways to battle these could-be-worse challenges is to book a night at a local hotel and pretend like we're hundreds of miles away. This past weekend we did just that at The Standard hotel, which is literally a few blocks away from our apartment. It was just what we needed and the perfect alternative to a vacation without missing a day of work.

I totally want to do a "getaway" staycation. Esp stay at a place with a pool. Even going out to long island for the day to go to the beach is like a mini getaway for me since I'm not in "NYC" and I'm on a beach.
Lovely pictures.

I'm a firm believer in getting out of the house too. I live in LA so I will have to stay at the Standard soon. I've been wanting to for ages and that pool looks devine. I recently stayed at the Ace in Palm Springs (did a blogpost there too), you must stay there if you haven't already!

Looks like you guys had a good time. I've always wanted to do this, but hotels in NYC are so pricey that I can never bring myself to book one when I can stay at home for free, lol! One of these days...

Ahh I just ordered your Sam Edelmans in the silver/nude. Can't wait. Also, my man and I have been talking about doing something similar and getting a hotel room in DT LA. We're in orange county so its the perfect amount of distance without going too far.

I absolutely love that first photo
You had me there. For a second, I thought you went to some 3 star hotels in london or something. I guess sometimes, you really don't have to go too far to have a vacation.
I love your outfits! You shouldn't be at a standard hotel with them funky outfits, sweetie! Why not don them in holidays to zanzibar? You look dashing!
You girls are really lucky. I can only wish my favorite abbey court hotel was as close to my place as that one is to yours.
I love the venue of this photo shoot. We had a photo shoot once in one of those hotels near london eye and it was enjoyable. We loved the stay because the service was really good.
It's a really good shoot. We had the same one at abbey court hotel inspired by this sorts of shoots.
I love this thematic photo shoots as well. I have a huge thing for hotels and photography. I am always into making it work together. I checked out the hotels in hyde park and fell in love with a lot of spots there that I could actually use for my next project.
This is a nice feature of the hotel. We had the same feature of the broadbeach holiday apartments. The ambiance is amazing, and the view is to die for.
Living in a hotel like this one is the dream. I really like traveling and just one of my amazing reasons why I love it is because I want to feel the most out of the hotel services, most especially in Liverpool. I love the view and everything in between.
