Perverted Guests Rank New York’s Standard Hotel Four Stars
Masturbation, Sex Acts, and Exhibitionism: Perverted Guests Give New York’s Standard Hotel Four Stars
New York’s Standard Hotel
“There is an unexpected elegance to Andre Balaz’s Standard New York Hotel, a massive 337-room hovering above the hotly anticipated Highline pedestrian parkway at the edge of the Meatpacking District.”
-Wallpaper Review 2009
According to the New York Post, New York’s Standard Hotel has become the gold standard of perversion for purview with guests taking advantage of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling glass windowed rooms to put on a show for pedestrians using the local parkway.
From the New York Post:
“Note to parents strolling the High Line: Don’t let your kids look up.
The Meatpacking District’s newly opened, much-touted urban park along an elevated, former railroad trestle has unwittingly turned into a peep show near The Standard hotel, as randy hotel guests perform sex acts in front of floor-to-ceiling hotel windows.
Disgusted neighbors say they’ve seen men masturbating, professional porn films being shot and couples engaging in sex in full view of the stunning High Line park path running alongside.”
Oh well. But for the guests, the hotel offers some of these amenities:
“337 GUEST ROOMS WITH INSANE VIEWS, WALL-TO-WALL, FLOOR-TO-FLOOR CEILING WINDOWS THAT OPEN, 300 THREAD COUNT ITALIAN SHEETS, LARGE AND LOFTY PILLOWS, MASSIVE SHOWERS AND OVER SIZED TUBS, XL FLUFFY TOWELS,…”
While prices start at a standard queen room for $250 up to a Standard Suite from $635 per night.
The much hyped Standard Hotel is a new addition to the High Line area in New York City that’s been undergoing renovation for the past ten years. From Structure Hub:
“After ten years of advocacy, fundraising, and cheer-leading, the vision of Josh David and Robert Hammond, co-founders of Friends of the High Line, has been realized (that is, Phase I from Gansevoort to West 20th Street) in the form of a new sliver-like park floating above concrete corridors and nestled in rusted steel. Derelict for decades, the elevated railway that once delivered freight to scores of warehouses had little going for it when a push for demolition gained speed. Luckily David and Hammond met and came upon their idea of new parkland that would add needed green space, but also preserve the somewhat gritty – or lived-in – feel of the Westside neighborhood the High Line once trundled through. Tearing it down would have eliminated a rusting hulk of shade, but doing so would also have created an (literally) unobstructed path to generic redevelopment projects having little feel for the community’s history and identity.”
According the Post, the 18-floor Standard Hotel “opened it’s doors at the end of last year-with raunch friendly ads”.
“We’ll put up with your banging if you put up with ours,” an ad declared, picturing a woman wearing nothing but a tool belt.”
Last year, while the hotel was still under renovation, Interview Magazine held a party. And a good time was had by all with entertainment including the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black performance art act.

Once the hotel opened, guests began to give their own version of performance art to the pedestrians strolling the High Line area and to nearby businesses. Here’s a few comments from the Post article:
“This article just boosted passerby traffic by that hotel by 500%.”
“This women that works for me says she can’t get her husband, Bill, to stop standing outside that hotel on Saturday nights.”
“Make Love not War
This is Great”
