The Standard Hotel is a hotel that was built over the High Line in 2009. It is an architectural and engineering feat in that it actually spans the distance of the old railroad tracks that now make up a public park in New York City's Meat Packing District. The hotel is built in a style remniscent of Le Corbusier and is supported on two stilts of concrete on one end. The rest of the building is comprised of angled glass and steel. It is comprised of 18 stories, 317 guest rooms, and 4 or 5 restaurants and bars. The top level is a two story high private lounge with enormous glass windows on all sides. it provides for lovely views of the Hudson River, Empire State Building, and other new York landmarks.

The building was designed by Todd Schliemann of the New York-based firm Polshek Partnership. Roman and Williams Interiors is the firm that created the inside of the building. It is located at 848 Washington Street on the west side of the city. The owner, Andre Balazs, owns several other Standard hotels in trendy cities such as Miami and Los Angeles. However, this particular one is the only one that has started some urban legends. The glass siding was quite a topic of controversy after the construction was first completed. It was rumored that guests in the hotel were doing trip teases for the passrsby on the West Side Highway and for peeping Toms walking along the High Line.
