A modern style is the main purpose, rather than just iconic. Looking from its slab on stilts design, the hotel recalls the pioneering works of le Corbusier and other notable international style buildings. Mix of styles are found of its interior which brought by Hollywood set designer Shawn Hausmann and New York based Roman and Williams.

Sitting under the High Line, the hotel lobby is early 20th century design, while the guest rooms in the tower above are designed with mid-century works in mind. On the top floor is a double height glass enclosed space that houses a supper club and lounge. Its design pays homage to Warren Platner, a protégé of Saarinen’s, who designed the Windows of the World restaurant in the World Trade Center.

Aside from its fetching design and proximity to all the Meatpacking District, the Standard hotel is offering a stunning view of the city’s most cherished sites: the Empire State Building, the Hudson River, and in the distance, the Statue of Liberty.

    I am really inspired with your writing talents as well as with the layout to your blog. Is that this a paid subject or did you customize it your self? Either way stay up the nice high quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one these days..

      You’re not going to find 6 nights for 600 doralls in manhattan . To get a good deal try booking through a site like priceline. They have name your price where you specify the area, stars, etc then put the price you’re willing to pay. The only problem is you don’t know the hotel until its booked. The time I used it it was fine (crowne plaza in times square). Good luck and have fun

  4. I do not even know the way I ended up right here, however I thought this put up was great. I don’t recognise who you might be however certainly you’re going to a famous blogger should you aren’t already ;) Cheers!

    Great blog! Sorry to get off subject, but since Nashville is getting a lot of press lately, I’m looking for a great Nashville sushi restaurant or Japanese restaurant. Have you seen any recent buzz? There’s a new one called Nomzilla Sushi Et Cetera, but very few reviews. Here’s the address of this new Nashville Sushi Restaurant, 1201 Villa Place #101 Nashville, TN 37212 – (615) 268-1424. Thoughts? Thanks!
