The Standard, High Line

8 Hotels Where Celebrities Stay to Get Ready for the Met Gala | Vogue

"Since 2010, the Standard’s lounge on the 18th floor has been the after-party spot. The Top of the Standard instantly commands your attention with the bar’s gilded centerpiece, reminiscent of a trumpet flute, and its floor-to-ceiling windows that provide incredible panoramic views of New York City and the Hudson River. (Plus, remember when Madonna made this hotel the set for her electrifyingly OTT “Bitch I’m Madonna” music video?) After a massive dance party, imagine being able to conveniently take the elevator down a few floors to your room, waking up to the same vista you partied away with." - Christina Liao
