Neighborhood: Manhattan - Meatpacking District
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
André Balazs’s line of Standard hotels took its time getting to New York. Now it seems they were waiting for something big, and this is it — for a group that’s made its name with clever renovations, a ground-up new build is a major undertaking.
The Standard looks more or less like a slightly bent UN building on stilts, straddling the High Line, the elevated former railway that’s been turned into lower Manhattan’s new green paradise. Even the interiors feel a bit utopian, decked out in a retro-future style that pays homage to Scandinavian mid-century modernism — a welcome departure from the faux-Romantic grittiness that seems to prevail in the Meatpacking District.
Bedrooms are compact, this being Manhattan, but they’re made bigger by clever planning and expansive views — New Jersey, in particular, looks good from this angle. The bathrooms are raising eyebrows for their transparent lack of privacy, but this place is for lovers, not room-sharing businessmen or pairs of traveling missionaries.

What I liked:
The hotel was busy and lively, which is always nice.
What the hotel could do better:
The rooms were quite dirty/gross and not nearly as nice as the photos make them look. It would be an improvement if they updated the hotel, it feels like it is stuck in the early 2000s and cleaning up a bit would help.

What I liked:
Service was very pleasant and mostly attentive. The atmosphere was contemporary and interesting. Great views. Location on the highline.
What the hotel could do better:
The hotel was very loud late. We were on the 15th floor and our friends were on the 14th floor and the bar was on the 18th floor. Both of us were awake at 3:30am due to the noise from the bar. When mentioning this to the front desk, they apologized and said it was a party hotel. (expensive party hotel). Rooms were small and with limited (no) amenities.
