Making this series official — check in for luxury (although I think it really started with my stay at The Upper House in Hong Kong last year!)
I used to live in the East Village many years ago, and during my last trip to New York City, I revisited my old stomping ground and checked into The Standard, East Village

Wake up in time for sunrise (top photo), if even for just one morning.
tip
If you are looking for a curated list of boutique hotels that showcase good designs and attention to detail, give Tablet Hotels
a go. Perks: can't go wrong with being a Tablet Plus member neither (I am one!), special amenities and upgrades at check in. Nothing beats enjoying a complimentary bottle of wine while you unpack — thank you The Standard!

Beautiful! I stayed here when I was in NY last year and couldn't get over those views either. I think I sat and stared for a good hour...
ReplyDeleteamazing pictures...my desire to go back to new york is now stronger than ever...
ReplyDeleteLove your photo it's absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeletesunrise is beautiful... I was just reading about Momofuku in Sydney and how it is such a long wait to get a table but oh so worth it!
ReplyDeleteI love NY, just have not been there for a long while.
