The Standard - East Village

Wrapped in glass at the point where the Bowery meets Cooper Square, The Standard - East Village rises above the triangular plaza facing Astor Place, a two-minute walk from the 6 train and the NYU campus edge — a fit for design-minded travelers who want downtown energy without a Meatpacking price tag.

Rooms stay compact but keep floor-to-ceiling windows facing either the Bowery or Cooper Union's steel-clad academic building. The rooftop bar operates separately from the lobby restaurant, and pet bowls are stocked for guests traveling with dogs.

Cooper Square's design shops and Village bars sit within blocks.
