Although the hotel has a fun cool vibe and we were looking for a great stay while here in NYC and have always loved an Ian Schrager Hotel, they must just be using the name ... The Hudson was a favorite back in the day so when I saw Public was available I thought wow! "He's done it again"... but unfortunately for $2200 I could have booked at the Four Seasons with every amenity and an additional night free and hospitality available! Where my son would feel like a true guest with attendants that know the industry... This was my son's anniversary - noted on reservation and it was like they walked in off the street when they arrived! I was so embarrassed for booking this. Parking was a hassle, they had to self park after the generic reservationist on phone in call center said it was right next door, then when I finally got a front desk attendant to ask where do they park, he was matter of fact and rude not caring that we have spent money to stay here and said yup you self park and walk back to hotel, its 4.5 blocks (city blocks) we'll validate for you, as self Parker and hung up. Ok, I get that it's the city but you should look into a valet of sorts - this was ridiculous. No one was helpful at "kiosk" to check in for an actual room key (even though the site says they have check in "ambassadors" to help. They arrived late night after long flights, I reserved a loft space room at an extra upgrade cost and it was disappointing in decor with park view not much of a view and fridge empty, no robes or amenities (fridge empty)... lets see what day light brings.. We will all be staying at the Four Seasons next time round for future reference... This will be an Anniversary and 4th of July for memory books ... time to make the most of it...

My workmate and I had an incredible experience on the rooftop of the Public Hotel in NYC this past week! The atmosphere was vibrant, the views were stunning, and the service was top-notch. A special shoutout to Jaime, the rooftop manager, who went above and beyond to make our night memorable. His attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made all the difference. Highly recommend 🫶🏻💋🥂
