The Standard New York's Porny Antics Might Soon Be Over

The Standard Hotel in New York hasn't been shy about showing some skin with numerous sightings of naked or nearly naked people spotted inside the guest rooms through the floor to ceiling windows. Even the hotel's mascot and Twitterer Stan D'Arde has encouraged folks to go on with their sexy selves and submit their naughty snapshots to the hotel's Facebook page (they have to be taken at the hotel of course.)

It's all very Truth or Dare, Madonna-style but the Standard might be too sexy, even for New York. The NY Post reports that park-goers at the High Line Park (which runs below the hotel) and business owners are quite upset about the voyeurism that goes on at the hotel.

Disgusted neighbors say they've seen men masturbating, professional porn films being shot and couples engaging in sex in full view of the stunning High Line park path running alongside....

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn told The Post she wants the peep show to come to an end. "The alleged actions of The Standard are unacceptable," she said in a statement.

However, Quinn didn't elaborate on what she wants the hotel to stop doing. You can't really stop people from going to the hotel and having sex in there, can you? The porn shoots maybe, but if folks are paying $300+ a night for a room, they can do whatever they want in there. (P.S. A restaurant owner said Saturday night is the best time for the "show.")

Meanwhile, the hotel's own hunky hotelier, Andre Balazs is set to release some sexy photographs of his own. Balazs will be the face for the Italian fashion house, Brioni, and its Fall/Winter 2009 advertising campaign.
