The Standard, High Line

Overlooking the Hudson River, this chain hotel in Chelsea has some of the best amenities in New York City. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows distinguish its rooms, while a beer garden, seasonal ice rink and Le Bain, one of the city’s most sought-after rooftop bars, round out its communal spaces. If guests can tear themselves away from the trendy hotel, its namesake elevated park – formerly a central railroad for transporting goods into the city – is just a few steps away.
