I have grown up in this hotel. The Standard to me represents something few institutions in New York really can. Andres Balazs has done an amazing job of bringing elegance, sophistication, and everything trendy into an area that is now hustling and bustling with the arts. Whether you are dining at the Standard Grill, getting drinks at the beer garden, or having a night at the top of the hotel, you will not be disappointed. I am not passionate about the hotel industry like some people, but this hotel has got me hooked. Everything about the place screams glamour. Being a New Yorker, I have only been in the hotel rooms twice. The views are unbeatable, the room is sleek and sexy like the rest of the hotel, and the service was once again amazing. If you are anywhere near this hotel, you must check it out, just to see how the hotel fuses with the ever-popular high line.
