History
Ian Schrager opened PUBLIC in June 2017 at 215 Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side, a 28-storey reinforced-concrete tower by Herzog & de Meuron with subtly canted windows. He bought the empty lot for about $50 million and hired the Swiss firm he had already used on 40 Bond and 160 Leroy. The hotel occupies most of the tower; condos sit above.
Schrager framed PUBLIC as luxury without bellhops: social rooms first, rooms second. Jean-Georges Vongerichten opened Public Kitchen and Louis, the grocery-luncheonette. Three bars: the Lobby Bar, Diego, and The Roof. Public Arts in the basement is his first nightlife room since Studio 54: film and comedy by day, dancing after. 367 rooms.
The setting
PUBLIC sits at 215 Chrystie Street on the Lower East Side, along the Bowery, a six-minute walk from two subway stations and two miles from the Empire State Building.
