There’s nothing standard about an escape to New York’s The Standard, High Line – this unforgettable hotel sits at the apex of cool, high above the eponymous public park. Each room dazzles with floor-to-ceiling windows gazing across the shimmering cityscape and the mighty Hudson River. A slew of superb onsite restaurants and bars – including modern brasserie The Standard Grill, rooftop discothèque Le Bain and the open-air The Standard Biergarten – stand electric at the centre of the Meatpacking District’s roaring nightlife scene. A revelation unlike anywhere else in New York, The Standard, High Line routinely hosts a whirlwind schedule of the city's coolest events and sits only a short walk from the restaurants, bars and boutique shopping streets of West Village and Chelsea.
