Job description

Our Story

The simple premise behind The Standard is that it is anything but. Founded in 1999, the goals of every Standard are to up the aesthetic stakes and defy convention while attending to every detail, embracing our local communities, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for our teams, and, of course, delivering a smashing good time for our guests.

The Standard’s unique sensibility and voice combine with careful consideration of design and service to deliver experiences that define neighborhoods and create destinations renowned globally.

We believe in hospitality fueled by culture. As we take The Standard to new markets around the world, we retain and enhance our mission of creating hotels layered with personalities, collaborators, and amusements from culinary and nightlife to retail and wellness that surprise and delight our guests.

THE STANDARD, EAST VILLAGE

Located off Cooper Square in one of New York’s most vibrant, artistic neighborhoods, The Standard, East Village is cozy, charming, and eccentric in equal measure—very much in the spirit of its surroundings. You enter the 21-story tower through an original tenement-style building before ascending to unparalleled views of Manhattan.

With options as unique as our neighborhood, The Standard, East Village has venues to suit every taste.

Our bustling street-side, all day Café Standard serves guests and neighbors from breakfast to late night.

Tucked away off the Bowery, our Garden offers al fresco drinking in the summer months and a heated

yurt village in the winter months. Inside, NO BAR offers a dash of camp, a strong beat and stronger cocktails.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to create experiences by embracing and empowering a diverse collective of team members, collaborators, and guests, who chose to call The Standard home.
