NEW YORK - Some guests at a New York City hotel near an elevated park have been offering unobstructed views of themselves.
Guests at the Standard Hotel in Manhattan keep failing to close the curtains as they frolic naked in front of their rooms' floor-to-ceiling windows, easily viewed from the newly opened High Line park on an old elevated railway below. The park recently opened atop an abandoned elevated rail line.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn has called the hotel's window action "unacceptable."
Aaron Lipman works in the neighborhood and says the shows are "healthy and fun." He says they're like TV's "Wild Kingdom."
The hotel issued a statement Monday saying its managers will try to "remind guests of the transparency" of the windows.
The hotel won an award from the Municipal Arts Society of New York for best new building erected last year.
