NYC | The Standard, High Line: Quirky, Stylish & Actually Stayable 🏙️

Heard mixed reviews about The Standard by the High Line, so I checked it out myself. Verdict? A fun, design-forward stay with good comfort balance. Some “wait, what?” moments, but no real deal-breakers. The lobby is compact but makes a statement from the get-go. Through the yellow revolving door, a lit runway splits the space, leading to the front desk under a glass ceiling—very High Line, very Meatpacking. Front desk staff were laid-back yet friendly, and well-versed in Hyatt member perks. Got upgraded to a Hudson River view room facing the “Little Island.” Feels spacious for NYC! The vibe is warm and relaxed, thanks to all the wood and black accents. Then… came the surprises. In a city where space is gold, they fit in a huge tub-shower combo that could seat three. 🛁 But here’s the kicker: the bathroom has no door or curtain—just open to the room! 😳 Why? The bathroom has almost no natural light. To brighten it up, you open the blinds to the living area . Mood? ✅ Privacy? ❌ It’s a trade-off, but it works. The restaurant is wildly split into two styles: one Insta-ready, one classic. Breakfast is hearty and filling—no skimping here. #DesignHotel #Hyatt #HighLine #NYCHotels #TheStandard #Globalist #TravelNYC #HotelDesign #CityViews #Meatpacking #BrooklynBridgeViews 🗽✨
