To get the absolute most out of your stay at The Standard, High Line, keep these lesser-known insider tips and hacks in mind.

The Room View and Layout Truths

• The "Voyeurism" Warning: The hotel leaves a physical note on guest desks warning that the floor-to-ceiling windows go both ways. Pedestrians on the High Line can see directly into lower-level rooms. Close the curtains if you want true privacy.

• Open-Concept Bathrooms: Standard rooms have glass-walled showers with completely open layouts looking right into the bedroom area. The toilet is in a separate closed stall, but there is no divider for the shower. Make sure you are highly comfortable with your travel partner!

• The Club Music Rumble: If you want a peaceful night's sleep, avoid rooms on the 15th and 16th floors. The bass from Le Bain and Top of the Standard reverberates directly through the ceilings. Request a room on a lower floor if you plan on turning in early.

Secret Amenities and Local Perks

• Neighborhood Discounts: Show your physical room key card across the street at the Caudalie Boutique Spa to score an exclusive 15% off treatments and a complimentary glass of wine.

• The Immersive Elevators: Pay attention when riding the elevators. They feature incredibly detailed, surreal, moving video art installations. One side of the elevator bank features a "heaven" theme, while the other bank features a "hell" theme.

• Seasonal Extras: If you are staying during the winter months, look out for the public plaza right outside the entrance. The hotel completely transforms the space into a custom, intimate ice-skating rink.

Booking and Nightlife Hacks

• The Le Bain Guest Pass: Staying at the hotel does not guarantee instant entry to Le Bain if the venue is at capacity, but hotel guests do get a priority access line. Speak to the front desk at check-in to ensure your name is registered for the guest list to skip the massive line outside.

• Zero Pet Fees: Unlike most NYC luxury properties that slap on massive daily charges or non-refundable cleaning deposits, The Standard remains entirely pet-friendly with zero added fees.

The hotel features a stacked lineup of legendary, high-energy venues that attract top global talent and the city’s trendiest crowds:

• Le Bain: A world-famous penthouse discothèque and rooftop bar featuring legendary DJs, an indoor plunge pool, and unrivaled, unobstructed views of the Hudson River and city skyline.

• The Standard Biergarten: Located at ground level beneath the park, this open-air, high-vibe spot serves up traditional German beers, pretzels, and table tennis—perfect for day-drinking or kick-starting the night.

• BOOM (Formerly Boom Boom Room): The glittering, golden crown jewel of late-night lore. This exclusive, high-profile venue hosts premier soirées and elite private gatherings surrounded by floor-to-ceiling skyline views.

• The Standard Grill: A classic neighborhood staple blending traditional steakhouse fare with New American cuisine, making it the perfect spot to "see and be seen" for a pre-club dinner.

The Standard, High Line does not have an on-site parking garage. However, guests have access to official partner parking alongside several nearby neighborhood garages and digital reservation options.

Official Partner Hotel Parking

The hotel officially partners with the Icon Parking Garage.

• Location: Intakes are located at 385 W 15th St or 386 W 16th St (situated between 8th and 9th Avenues).

• Pricing: $65.00 plus tax per 24-hour stay for standard sedans. Oversized vehicles and SUVs incur an additional $10.00 fee.

• Validation: You must bring your parking ticket to the hotel front desk for validation.

• Rules: This is a self-parking facility. There are no in-and-out privileges; moving your vehicle will trigger a new charging cycle.

Closest Neighborhood Lot

If you prefer the absolute shortest walk to the hotel lobby, an independent open-air lot sits right down the street.

• Location: The SP+ Lot at 480 W 13th St (also listed as 28 10th Ave).

• Distance: Less than a 1-minute walk from the hotel entrance.

• Vibe: It is a 24-hour outdoor surface lot, meaning spaces are subject to immediate availability and can fill up quickly during peak nightlife hours.

App-Based Booking Discrepancies

To avoid premium drive-up rates, you can book alternative spaces independently through parking aggregators:

• SpotHero & ParkWhiz: Drivers frequently utilize digital passes via The Standard High Line SpotHero Page or ParkWhiz NYC to book nearby garages like MPG Parking (450 W 17th St) or iPark (623 Hudson St). This frequently drops daily rates down to the $30–$45 range.
