PUBLIC HOTEL

PUBLIC, unveiled in June 2017 on New York City’s Lower East Side, is the ultimate city hotel. It is the latest from Ian Schrager and aims to fragment the elitist side of the hotel industry with its concept: one which offers LUXURY FOR ALL in an affordable and accessible manner; from $150 a night. PUBLIC is built on four key pillars: service, style, unique experience and value. By removing outdated amenities and embracing the needs of the modern traveler, Schrager has once again disrupted the industry with a price point that doesn’t force guests to give up the service, food, style and entertainment they would find in a luxury hotel. His vision to democratize and redefine luxury is to upset the status quo and with PUBLIC he has created a new benchmark, a new way of living – a hotel where people can do much more than just sleep. Such is the idea behind PUBLIC’s spaces, which include Jean-Georges’ PUBLIC Kitchen, co-working spaces alongside reimagined counter service, three bars – including The Roof – and Public Arts, the embodiment of a night-time renaissance and home to the most avant-garde cultural programming.
