Standard East Village
Sleek, architectural, a little eccentric. Grey-and-white rooms with bold accents and big city views. Younger-leaning crowd (21+ age requirement applies). Artsy East Village energy with design-hotel bones.
Request a high floor — views above floor 15 toward the Empire State Building are noticeably better.
Why It Matters
One of the few serious design hotels in the East Village — originally the Cooper Square Hotel, a neighborhood landmark since 2008 — it offers unobstructed Manhattan views from floors 3 through 20 that most midtown luxury properties can't match at this price point. The building itself, with its glass tower rising above a preserved tenement entry, is worth a look from the outside.
A 21-story tower disguised behind a low-rise tenement facade on Cooper Square, The Standard East Village is the rare NYC hotel that earns its views. Originally opened in 2008 as the Cooper Square Hotel — designed by Carlos Zapata Studio with interiors by Milanese architect Antonio Citterio — it joined The Standard Hotels family in 2011. The bones are sharp: floor-to-ceiling windows, a street-level garden tucked behind brick, an all-day café spilling onto the Bowery, and a Mexican-inspired restaurant from chef Maycoll Calderón drawing both guests and neighborhood regulars.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Corner King
At 430–600 sq ft, the Corner King is one of the best value plays in the building. Dual-exposure windows wrap around two full walls for sweeping, panoramic city views. There's a sitting area, king bed, work desk, and a large bathroom with glass-enclosed shower or bath/shower combo. Quiet, light-filled, and noticeably more spacious than the lower categories.
King · 48 sqm
Deluxe King
At 265 sq ft with a south-facing city view and glass-enclosed shower, the Deluxe King is a step up in light and orientation. Not bigger than the Standard King in all cases, but the southward exposure makes a real difference.
King · 25 sqmOne Bedroom Suite
Two Deluxe rooms combined into one. Giant windows, sweeping views, a large work desk in the living area, a pull-out couch, king bedroom, and two full bathrooms with both shower and tub options. The best choice if you need real space to entertain or work in-room.
KingPremier King
Located on floors 6–20 with a little extra room to spread out versus the Standard King. Bathroom comes in three possible configurations: glass-enclosed shower, separate tub and shower, or bath/shower combo — call ahead if you have a preference and the team will do their best to match you.
King · 33 sqmPremium King
300–340 sq ft across floors 3–20 with windows on two full sides for cross exposure and generous natural light. Bathroom options include either a glass-enclosed shower or a bath/shower combo. Comes with the full Standard amenity kit: fancy linens, lux robes, overstocked minibar, Bluetooth speaker.
King · 30 sqmStandard Double with Two Double Beds
At 325 sq ft it's one of the more spacious standard-category rooms, with two full beds, windows on two sides, a deep soaking bathtub and shower combo, and a work desk. Best option for families or two friends splitting a room.
Two Double Beds · 30 sqmStandard King
The workhorse of the property. At 250–300 sq ft across floors 3–20, the Standard King packs in a king bed, glass-enclosed shower, extra-large windows, work desk, and full Standard amenities. Higher floors deliver substantially better views. ADA option available.
King · 26 sqmStandard Queen
The entry-level room and honestly compact by any measure. Located on floor 9 and up, it runs 200–275 sq ft with a queen bed, glass-enclosed shower (no tub), and a work desk. For what it lacks in square footage it makes up for in finish: Italian sheets, custom organic bath amenities, Bluetooth speaker, overstocked minibar, and super-lux robes. ADA option available.
Queen · 22 sqmStudio Suite
Found only on floors 18–20, the 600 sq ft Studio Suite takes in views of Cooper Square, the Empire State Building, and uptown Manhattan. The bedroom and sitting area are fully separated. Two flat-screen TVs, a tub/shower combo, and all the standard-issue luxuries including overstocked minibar and Bluetooth speaker. Book it early — there are limited units this high up.
