The best meeting rooms to book in the East Village

Everyone works best in different environments, and luckily at The Standard East Village, you have your pick of any kind of space you can imagine. Whether your team needs the focus of a traditional boardroom or you want to let ideas flow in more casual spaces, The Standard's five different meeting rooms could inspire some of your best work.

Impress your colleagues with spectacular city views in the Penthouse, a sleek indoor/outdoor rooftop space, or discuss your next big project over a gourmet meal in the Private Dining Room. If you need a little fresh air to break up a day of meetings, the Garden is a lush green space perfect for al fresco lunches.

The largest space, the Penthouse, can accommodate up to 150 guests. This East Village venue also has a cafe, restaurant, and bar onsite that can be incorporated into your event.

For teams that have been lacking motivation and creativity, a change of scenery to a more exciting venue might be just the thing to inspire some groundbreaking ideas. The Moxy East Village has both meeting rooms and glamorous onsite venues to make sure your team can get to work and let loose in equal measure.

Make your colleagues feel at home in Suite Jane, a roomy midcentury apartment equipped with everything you need to present your latest project or make everyone an after-work drink. The modular Meeting Studios can easily transform from boardroom to lounge, to suit your team's working habits. And after you've sparked some productive conversations, treat everyone to a spectacular meal at Cathedrale, the hotel's gourmet Mediterranean restaurant with dramatic interiors inspired by New York's grand dining rooms.

Depending on which spaces work best for your event, the hotel can accommodate parties big and small, from 30 to 800 guests.

If you need a meeting space to impress your toughest clients or intimidating manager, an event at The Bowery Hotel will dazzle even the grumpiest workaholics. From the Old World charm of the main lobby to the elegant terrace overlooking the East Village, this iconic hotel is the height of sophistication.

For working lunches that transport you to the Tuscan countryside, book the Gemma Wine Room, a rustic private dining room connected to the onsite Italian trattoria. For larger events, The Bowery Terrace features vast exposed brick and sun-drenched rooms leading out to a wraparound terrace.

The Gemma Wine Room can be reserved for up to 50 guests, while the Terrace can host up to 300 guests.

When working in New York City, there's no better inspiration than the city itself. Tap into the energy of the city that never sleeps while taking in the spectacular skyline views at the Public Hotel. With eight separate meeting rooms that feature the city as the backdrop, your team will leave with a new appreciation for living and working in the Big Apple.

For larger events, book the Sophia room - 1650 sq. ft. of customizable space with modern decor and floor-to-ceiling windows. Your team can unwind at The Roof Bar, an indoor/outdoor space with panoramic views, or the hotel's restaurant, Popular, a lush tropical space inspired by vibrant Peruvian cuisine.

The Public Hotel can host up to 300 guests in its larger event spaces.
