For five decades, Ian Schrager has been throwing away every tried-and-true rule of hospitality and has gone off into his own personal direction. From the seismic cultural explosion of Studio 54 in 1977, to more than 40 original one-of-a-kind hotels worldwide and countless new concepts and ideas for restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and other entertainment facilities, he has continued to set new standards and reinvent the entire hospitality industry.
His career has never been simply about design, visuals or even nightlife. His projects have always been about people, creating windows into society itself, defining and evoking the cultural milieu, capturing the moment and the zeitgeist.
That balancing act where something finally emerges – rebellious yet refined, sophisticated yet disruptive – has defined every project Schrager has undertaken, and PUBLIC West Hollywood is no exception.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
