The Public Hotel,

USA

With travel comes
discovery, and my
latest find is the
amazing New York
city hotel The Public.
Amalgamating ef-
ficiency and effective-
ness, this relatively
new living space is
located in the Bowery
neighbourhood of
New York City. This
Ian Schrager hotel,
designed by Swiss Ar-
chitects Herzog & de
Meuron is a perfect
fit for the fast-paced
city; everything in this

space works with the

touch of a button. On

my last visit to New

York, The Public took

me by awe with its

dimly lit interiors and

simple sophistication.

A multitude of out-

door areas with iconic

Manhattan views,

clubbed with infor-

mal gathering spaces

for cultural exchange

is a contextual boon

in this urban jungle,

debouching with ar-

chitectural marvels.
