Sleek rooms, rooftop bar with skyline views, trendy dining
"“Set atop the sleek Herzog & and de Meuron-designed Public Hotel is The Roof, a chic cocktail bar where DJs spin, yoga classes are held, and the fashionable downtown cool kids go to sip spritzes and slurp tomato soup while the bright lights of the city’s skyline twinkle.”" - David Farley
"This Lower East Side spot was born out of a dream-team collaboration between lauded Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, hip hotelier Ian Schrager and celebrated Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz, whose ground-floor restaurant serves up creative takes on Peruvian fare. The 367 rooms are Manhattan-small, but smart and comfortable, with hardwood floors, low-rise mattresses, Bluetooth speakers, floor-to-ceiling windows and remote-controlled blackout shades. The hip, artsy guests flock to the sleek rooftop bar for well-executed cocktails and panoramic views of the city." - David Farley
"Provides affordable wellness classes and treatments with rooftop views, including pilates, yoga, and more, alongside IV drips and seasonal spa partners."
"Ian Schrager is at it again. The boutique-hotel innovator has always been ahead of the curve, and with his nascent PUBLIC brand it’s apparent he’s caught on to something the world’s luxury hoteliers have failed to notice: inclusive is the new exclusive. There’s a little hint there in the name, of course, but it’s apparent that from bottom to top, a place like New York’s PUBLIC is meant to be warm, open, and welcoming — without sacrificing style or excitement. There’s no front desk, but fear not: when you arrive, one of the hotel’s “PUBLIC advisors” will find you and check you in." - The MICHELIN Guide
"A sleek, modern boutique hotel with a buzzy rooftop bar offering full 360-degree city views, an energetic nightlife scene, several on-site dining options, and a top-floor penthouse that provides unobstructed panoramas of the skyline and multiple bridges. Rooms trend compact—book King Park View or Loft Great View categories for the best vistas—and the property promotes a social, design-forward guest experience." - Maria Yagoda Maria Yagoda Maria Yagoda is a writer, author, and editor who has traveled around the world professionally for over ten years.
