NYC Hotel Encourages Peep Shows

A New York hotel that crosses over the city’s latest attraction—the High Line—has been drawing attention for the randy displays in its fishbowl rooms. Now, the New York Post reports that the Standard Hotel encourages the voyeurism in order to entertain the parkgoers outside. "We don't discourage it. In actual fact, we encourage it," a bellhop tells the Post. The bellhop says that, after the hotel opened late last year, staff members were encouraged to pose nude in front of the windows. "One of the managers even got naked in a room, and filmed it—they were considering a live feed for the Web site," the staffer said. "She's an exhibitionist, too." Parkgoers have reported seeing men masturbating, pornographic films being shot, and couples having sex.
