The Standard, High Line

Hello, panoramic views and lots of natural light. Here, there are wall-to-wall windows in the ultra-chic rooms. But beware: The views are notoriously reciprocal, so avoid accidentally offering a peep show unless you enjoy it. The Standard, one of the best 4-star hotels in New York City, is perched above Manhattan's renowned High Line on enormous concrete stilts. As you take in the vista of the Hudson River all the way to the World Trade Center, it sometimes feels like you are hovering above the city. (You could even figuratively soak in the tub while taking in the sights.)

The High Line, a former elevated train line that now serves as downtown New York City's favorite public park, rises above The Standard. With expansive views of Manhattan and/or the majestic Hudson River, each of the 338 rooms has a full wall of floor to ceiling windows. The lively German beer garden at street level, the rooftop discothèque Le Bain, the storied Top of The Standard (reopening late 2022), and an outdoor public plaza with varying art displays and activations are just a few of the hotel's attractive and exhilarating public spaces. The Standard Grill is a local institution that blends classic New York cuisine with classic steakhouse fare.
