Straddling the High Line at West 13th Street, the Standard has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson. It has restaurants, a rooftop bar and a lively nightlife scene.
The Standard, High Line is at 848 Washington Street in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan, New York City, at West 13th Street. The building straddles the southern end of the High Line elevated park, so guests can step up onto the park from nearby stairs and walk north through Chelsea to Hudson Yards. The Whitney Museum of American Art is a block away, Chelsea Market is a short walk north, and the 14th Street/Eighth Avenue subway station is roughly ten minutes on foot. The Hudson River waterfront is a few blocks west.
The hotel opened in 2009 and is recognisable for its slim, glass-walled tower raised on concrete piers above the High Line. Floor-to-ceiling windows give many rooms wide views of the Hudson River, the city grid or the park below. Rooms are compact and stylish, with categories including King rooms, High Line View rooms, Corner rooms and Suites.
Dining and nightlife are central to the property. The hotel has several restaurants, including a classic grill, plus a rooftop bar with views over the Hudson and the Meatpacking District, which draws a busy evening crowd. The property lists a fitness center and wifi, and the atmosphere is social and design-led rather than quiet.
Service is informal and youthful, aimed at leisure travellers, fashion and media visitors and groups who want to be near the nightlife of the Meatpacking District. Light sleepers should expect some noise from bars and from the neighbourhood, particularly at weekends. Nightly rates usually range from about $400 to $900, with peaks in summer and around the holidays. The hotel suits visitors who plan to spend time on the High Line, in Chelsea galleries and in West Village restaurants. Little Island, the Hudson River Park and the shops of the Meatpacking District are also close, and the walk north along the High Line to Hudson Yards takes roughly half an hour.
