Public Hotel — backstory

Backstory

Ian Schrager and architecture studio Herzog & de Meuron raised the raw concrete tower in 2017, eliminating traditional front desks entirely.

Public Hotel — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Diego Muñoz serves Peruvian dishes in the courtyard at Popular, while craft cocktails and DJs draw evening crowds up to The Roof.

The neighborhood

Set on Chrystie Street, the front doors open onto the Lower East Side's dense grid of independent galleries and late-night haunts.

“Ian Schrager’s Public is a bold statement, aiming to deliver luxury-quality service and style at budget-friendly prices.”
