Located in the famed cultural and entertainment heart of New York City, the outdoor spaces are juxtaposed against the energy and vibrancy of the surrounding location, making it one of the best places in the city for al fresco dining.

PUBLIC
New York City
Since the 70’s, entrepreneur Ian Schrager, Founder and Chairman of Ian Schrager Company, has achieved international recognition for concepts that have revolutionised the entertainment, residential and hospitality industries. His passionate commitment to the modern lifestyle has been expressed through a series of pioneering concepts: The hotel as home away from home, the hotel as theatre, “cheap chic”, “lobby socialising”, the indoor/outdoor lobby, the urban resort, and the urban spa. His keen instincts for the mood and feel of popular culture were honed during the 70’s and 80’s, when he and his late business partner, Steve Rubell, created the legendary Studio 54 and Palladium nightclubs – his wealth of experience culminating in PUBLIC Hotel.
The roof is a vibrant and energetic bar that appears to be floating in the sky. The spectacular outdoor landscaped terrace offers jaw dropping 360 degree panoramic views of the city. It’s an ideal place to meet for sunset cocktails and small bites while after dark, it transforms into MICROCLUB– a very sexy late-night hotspot, hosting the best local and international DJs from around the world.
