Travel | The View from The Standard NYC

With all the talk about the build out of The Standard Hotel, we figured it was high time for us to take in the experience ourselves. We have been through our share of new “modern” takes on the hotel experience, which tend to put primary focus on the interiors of the property, but it was clear after reading Alexandra Lange’s “Standard Operating Procedure” essay that our camera would need to focus up and out.

The NYC version of The Standard Hotel by Andre Balazs opened it’s doors to wide acclaim. The roof top “Boom Boom Room” instantly became the newest hot spot in a city with high turnover in this category (impressively the likes of Thom Browne and others affirmed that it still remains in that position during our visit). But a good rooftop bar does not sell a group of gents who have come to NYC to hear techno…

For us, what you could see – from the windows, from the terrace of The Standard – as well as the extension of this view on the inside are what made the weekend special. Let us walk you through our view of The Standard New York City.
