"At once futuristic and retro, The Standard almost feels like a scene out of The Jetsons , with mid-century-inspired furniture and lighting, all in a blocky concrete hulk that seems to float above the High Line in the Meatpacking District. Even if you aren't big on working out, check out the 17th-floor gym for sweeping Hudson River views. And if you're a night owl, head up to Le Bain, the penthouse discotheque and bar, for even better scenery and live DJs. The views are perhaps the most dramatic you'll find in downtown, and the location—in walking distance from the Whitney and Chelsea galleries—is ideal." - CNT Editors
