Rising above the High Line in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, The Standard, High Line is one of downtown New York’s most recognisable hotels. Its 338 rooms and suites are defined by floor-to-ceiling windows, city or Hudson River views, sleek interiors and a sense of movement from street level to rooftop. The address places guests close to Chelsea, the West Village and the Whitney Museum, while the hotel’s own scene includes The Standard Grill, a beer garden and Le Bain, giving the property an energetic social identity.
