Ian Schrager's ode to New York City, A New Beginning, comes at a time when the world is beginning to return to normal post COVID-19. Ian Schrager's PUBLIC hotel, reopened in June having been closed for a year and a half during the pandemic. However, it was not just business as usual. PUBLIC went all out and debuted a reinvented and rethought hotel complete with various exciting offerings and amenities including a new restaurant, Popular, as well as Cantina & Pisco bar, Ceviche Bar and an improved LOUIS (the hotel’s global, fast gourmet food bazaar)—all by award-winning Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz who helmed The World’s 50 Best Restaurant’s #1 rated Latin American restaurant. To continue pushing the envelope and raising the bar, last week PUBLIC introduced BAR CHRYSTIE, a new, sexy, moody, updated "Modern Classic Cocktail Bar" and HOUSE OF X, a progressive, avant-garde, multimedia, new experiential nightlife performance space like no other, brought to you by the creators of House of YES.
The five bars at PUBLIC are diverse in mood, vibe and spirit as well as offerings. Each with its own personality and DNA, you can experience any one or all of them in one night depending on what suits your mood. All together in one night, they are an all-encompassing and immersive holistic experience.
