This is a top notch hotel at a wonderful location above the high line. I simply stated upon reserving my room that our stay was for a special birthday celebration for my wife. Upon arrival, they wished my wife a happy birthday, they upgraded our room, and immediately sent up a bottle of champagne which we enjoyed looking over the expansive views of the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan. The room was as clean as you could ask, it was spacious, and had a wonderful walk in shower with a huge tub. My wife had been kind of down in the dumps but the staff at the Standard made her forget everything for the duration of our little getaway. Thank you to the staff of the Standard!!!!
