Seven years after its opening, the first Standard Hotel in New York is still great and one of my favorite places where to stay in the City. It's hip and it offers a unique stay. Staff and management succeed in offering multiple experiences in one compound (hugely satisfying Grill, fun beer garden, outstanding bars and clubs - wow Le Bain!) that is anchored in the culture of the Meat Packing and of NYC.
Rooms are simple but well appointed, of good size for New York city - do not expect luxury.
Recommendation: south-facing rooms between the 10th and 14th floor are best. Top floors. located under the clubs are good if you go to bed late in the night.
