If you've ever stayed at The Standard hotel in either New York, Los Angeles or Miami you know how sexy cool the brand is. Known for its smart branding techniques, The Standard brings back its popular staff-curated calendar using 2013's naughtiest, funniest and warmest requests, comments and letters from guests.
The funky boutique hotel combined the comments with artsy Thomas Mailaender photographs taken at two of the hotels to create a conceptual calendar to both help you keep track and to daily remind you of your awesome stay.
