About the property

What makes The Standard, High Line worth the points.

The Standard, High Line is a 338-room luxury boutique hotel at 848 Washington Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, built directly above the High Line. The 18-story, glass-clad tower was designed by Ennead Architects, formerly Polshek Partnership, and completed in 2009 with a strong emphasis on floor-to-ceiling views of the city and Hudson River. This is one of New York’s most nightlife-oriented lifestyle hotels. Guests have The Standard Grill at street level, a bustling German beer garden, the rooftop discothèque Le Bain, and the glamorous Top of The Standard / BOOM upstairs, along with a public plaza used for rotating art installations and seasonal activations. The neighborhood is a major part of the draw: the hotel sits near the West Village, Chelsea, the Hudson River waterfront, Little Island, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. It suits travelers who want restaurants, galleries, shopping, and late-night energy close at hand, while still having subway access to the wider city. Rooms are compact in the Manhattan boutique-hotel tradition but centered around dramatic window walls. The most meaningful room differentiators are view direction, floor height, and whether the room looks toward the Manhattan skyline or the Hudson River.

Dining & club lounge

Where to eat, and where to unwind.

The Standard Grill
American

The hotel’s main street-level restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with indoor and outdoor seating. It has a classic New York grill/brasserie feel with cocktails, weekend brunch, and happy hour.

The Biergarten
German beer garden

The ground-level beer garden is a casual, bustling venue with beer, sausages, and communal seating. It is part of the hotel’s lively public-facing scene and is especially active in the evenings.

Le Bain
Rooftop bar and nightclub

Le Bain is the hotel’s rooftop discothèque, known for DJ sets, nightlife, and skyline and Hudson River views. Its seasonal outdoor area and plunge-pool feature are part of the club experience rather than a traditional hotel pool amenity.

Top of The Standard / BOOM
Cocktail lounge and supper-club style venue

Top of The Standard, also referenced by the hotel as BOOM, is a glamorous upper-floor lounge known for cocktails, music, and city views. It functions as a public nightlife venue with controlled entry, not as a guest club lounge.

Coffee Shop / Café
Coffee shop / café

A casual on-site coffee shop or café provides an additional option for drinks and light bites. It complements the hotel’s larger restaurant and nightlife venues.

Timing

When to go.

Live · you're in July
Best time
May–Jun, Sep–Oct

These shoulder-season months usually offer mild, comfortable weather with lower crowds and prices than the summer and holiday peaks, while avoiding New York’s hottest, most humid period.

Avoid
Jan–Feb, Jul–Aug, Dec

January and February are the coldest winter months and commonly the cheapest but least comfortable for weather; July and August bring the hottest, most humid summer conditions; December is a peak holiday month with higher prices and heavier crowds.

From the analysis

A few more timing notes.

Spring and fall are strong times for enjoying the High Line, Little Island, and the Hudson River waterfront without the extremes of summer heat or winter cold.
Summer brings peak rooftop and outdoor-venue energy, especially at Le Bain, the beer garden, and the surrounding Meatpacking nightlife scene.
Winter can be atmospheric around the hotel’s public plaza, which has hosted seasonal activations including an ice rink.
Weekend nights are generally the liveliest periods because the hotel’s restaurants, bars, and clubs are a major part of its identity.
Fine print
  • · There is no on-site spa or traditional swimming pool listed among the standard hotel amenities.
  • · Le Bain’s seasonal plunge-pool feature is part of a rooftop nightlife venue, not a general guest pool.
  • · The hotel’s nightlife venues may have controlled entry, reservations, event schedules, or door policies.
  • · Detailed room square footage and suite layouts are not consistently published in the provided official materials.
