The Standard – East Village

New York Magazine describes the Standard East Village as young, beautiful, and hip. It ticks every box that a gay traveler would expect. The branches in Bangkok, Hua Hin, London, and Miami, as well as the one in NYC, are gay favorites.

The Standard, East Village is one of the most booked upscale gay-friendly hotels in New York. It's located right in the heart of that gayborhood and only a few blocks from the Chelsea one. NO Bar was formerly a gay drag bar, and now, while it’s more inclusive, it still embraces clients spending the pink dollar.

The modern rooms and studios are designed with vibrant colors and all the latest technological enhancements, some have bathtubs overlooking the East Village. Your pet is as welcome as you are in the rooms, too.

There’s no fitness center at the Standard, East Village, but it’s unnecessary. Crunch Fitness, half a block away, offers complimentary day passes to hotel guests.
