WHY IT'S HOT
After turning L.A. upside down with The Standard, hotelier Andre Balazs brings his signature boutique hotel to Manhattan. The steel and glass structure straddles the recently re-opened High Line, providing a burst of green to the environs.

WHAT TO DO
Take a bath with a view of the Statue of Liberty, watch the sun set over the Hudson River from the rooftop bar, or venture out to one of the hot spots in the surrounding Meatpacking District.

WHO'S BEEN THERE
Chloe Sevigny is among the downtown hipsters who have already spent a late night (or two) at the new hotel.
