Manhattan views
Voyeurism
This is Manhattan, so don't be shy: ask for the room with the best view. At The Standard, New York, one contender is the 875-square-foot Empire Suite, whose wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows face onto Midtown and Greenwich Village. Turned out in black shag carpeting and white lacquered walls and ceilings, the space has a dining area for guests. In the separate bedroom, you'll find a window-side soaker tub. What's not to like?
Located in one of NYC's most exciting neighborhoods, The Standard, New York is a monument to modern luxury and style. All 337 rooms and suites on its 18 floors feature 300-thread-count Italian linens, iPod-ready sound systems, and Kiss My Face organic bath amenities.
The Standard Grill is open from breakfast until late, while the outdoor Biergarten serves sausages, pretzels, and other classic German fare. After dark, shoe-gaze or shuffle to DJs in The Living Room, a chic lounge that will get you pumped for a Manhattan all-nighter.
