The StandardMeatpacking architectural showpiece

“The 338 guest rooms are modish and sophisticated, with fluted wood panels that curve from the headboard up to the ceiling…”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
This Standard hotel looks more or less like a slightly bent UN building on stilts, straddling the High Line, the elevated former railway…
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Cobblestone streets lead directly to the Whitney Museum, Chelsea art galleries, and the elevated High Line promenade running beneath the hotel.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame wide views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, with freestanding soaking tubs set directly against the skyline.
The gym
Peloton bikes and free weights sit against floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight out across the Hudson River.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Standard Grill
Penny-tiled floors and red leather banquettes fill the ground-floor bistro, which serves steaks alongside sidewalk seating.
the hotel almost feels like a scene out of The Jetsons, with mid-century-inspired furniture and lighting, all in a blocky concrete hulk…
Restaurant
The Standard Biergarten
Picnic tables sit directly beneath the High Line's steel tracks. The outdoor space serves German beer alongside ping-pong matches.
At the table
On the eighteenth floor, Boom serves cocktails around a brass bar, and Le Bain opens onto a breezy rooftop terrace.
How it began
Built from the ground up in 2009, the concrete tower stands on fifty-seven-foot stilts straddling the converted elevated railway below.
