Inside The PUBLIC Hotel Opening Party
Kicking off a new age of boutique hotels
Ian Schrager is back, and just like that the entirety of New York descended upon his newest offering, the PUBLIC. At least that’s what it felt like last night at the hotel opening, where it was difficult to take a few steps without encountering an accomplished member of the creative class. That was partially because the PUBLIC caters to that very group, with a central downtown location and housing at least 6 bars (which were put through their paces), a food market, a Jean-Georges restaurant, and a performance space which Patti Smith took over last night. And it was also partially because such is the influence of Schrager—the father of the boutique hotel concept as we know it—who stands as a major influence to the generations of creatives that came out to celebrate his newest crowning achievement.
