The Standard New York

The Room: Very stylish, well designed, really comfortable beds & lovely linens. Incredible views from the glass floor to ceiling windows. The Service: Friendly, polite & attentive. Nice touch that breakfast is brought to your room. The Location: The Meatpacking district is the perfect place to explore downtown. There are so many ultra-cool shops, bars and clubs. Very happening without being noisy. Overview: My husband and I are very fussy travellers, but we've given this hotel full marks for everything with good reason.... more

Stayed at hotel for long weekend and have plenty of raves: the staff had to be hired for their looks, but they are also competent and gracious. The tiny room - ours (908) overlooked one of the last meatpacking plants, and with a bird's eye view, we watched the trucks ride off loaded with carcases. Actually, it was "gritty" and fascinating and somehow very urban and real. Love the floor to ceiling windows (one opens - yes!) and it's great to have a table rather than desk (free wifi). No tub in this room, or robes for that peek-a-boo... more

My wife and I had a wonderful stay recently at The Standard in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. Rooms were normal NYC size, however the design seems to make the most of the space. Don't go with someone you're not too comfortable with as the shower looks out in to the living area. Pretty cool actually. The floor to ceiling windows make for a great view and I loved the 1970's-style appointments. The building itself, is an architectural masterpiece. Service was great and the staff was very friendly. Don't forget to have a drink... more

We just came back to Holland from 4 days in The Standard. We absolutely loved our stay - it was an extraordinary experience. Our room (9.20) had an amazing view on the Hudson river. We looked right at the (far away) Statue of Liberty and could even see the Brooklyn Bridge from our room. The floor to ceiling windows are really great, The rooms are small but very nice: - comfy small bed - great bathroom (albeit very wet as has been said before) with a very big tub - big screen tv (which we didnt use because we rather... more

We just returned from celebrating my birthday in NYC. The Standard Hotel really sets the standard for chic, comfortable and friendly hotels. We had a room with a fabulous view of the Hudson River, down to the Statue of Liberty. It's conveniently located for walking all over the city. The people were friendly and helpful. Michael showed us to our room and gave us the "room tour". We had reasonably priced drinks at the lounge off the very cool lobby..We enjoyed our free Continental breakfast along with a delicious herb and goat cheese omelet... more

Took my girlfriend to The Standard on Valentine's Day 2009 for a romantic night away from home in NJ. We pulled up to this place, and the decor from the yellow chairs outside and the yellow doors is just amazing. I had to drive around the block once because I didn't know where to leave my car, but on the second time around - got so lucky and found a spot literally right next to the door. If you are just staying over on a weekend...you are allowed to park there and I recommend it as it saved me the $55 valet charge! The bellhop was nice... more

Having visited The Standard in Miami, I've been looking forward to seeing what The Standard in NYC would offer in a town full of high-end unique hotels. The hotel is still not complete and won't be for some time, I guess, but do not be afraid to book a room in the meantime. I didn't hear or see any evidence of the construction once inside the building, which is pretty impressive. And the staff does everything it can to make your stay comfortable. I was particularly impressed with the concierge--she actually KNEW the area unlike so... more

Last night I stayed at the New York Standard - room 9.11 - and it was brilliant. Andre Balasz and his team really know how to put their stamp on things and create an experience that is so special. From the killer mini bar (although it is hardly mini), to the so very well thought out appointments, everything feels hand picked and just works perfectly. The bed was heavenly and the sheets were very high in thread count. The room somehow feels a bit like a cruise ship cabin and as with the other reviews, the views of New York City are by far... more

We went for New Year's Eve even though we live in New York as we wanted to see the inside of the hotel, and was closer to where we would be going out for the evening. We stayed in a Superior King. Service was excellent. Champagne on arrival, personally shown to our room. Although, lots of confusion about late check out next morning and staff unclear how to resolve until we spoke with the manager. Room was minimal, and quite lovely. Nice couch, table, platform bed, large TV. Lighting over bed fantastic, rest of lighting in... more

Saw initial review on Curbed.com, decided to call and book room for New Years Eve, was going to a NYE event at Tenjune. Awesome rate for NYE $195 for superior queen. Check in was simple, can tell they are still working on the process, as the property has only been open for a few weeks, and is still under construction. Room was located on 8th floor, hallway lighting a little to much for me, a radiant orange glow, not really mood lighting for me but was a different approach. Immediately, when walked into room , awesome view of... more
