I really enjoyed my stay at the public. The walkway up is a little hidden, with a nice garden that feels very serene. When you come in, you are greeted by a very aesthetically pleasing interior including the iconic escalators that were designed with care. I was a little frustrated because our room which was supposed to be ready at 3 pm wasn't ready till closer to 3:15 as it was going through cleaning inspections. I will say the room was VERY clean so at least there's that. We stayed in the loft and it offered a great amount of room, esp for a New York hotel. The floor to ceiling windows are gorgeous. I appreciate that you can fully black out the rooms with curtains for quality sleep. I loved the lighting in the rooms and the bathrooms. I also loved that the shower had a single on/off control button and full sized products in lieu of minis. The room comes with the basic towels, tp, iron and then also includes a steamer! There is an amenity room on each floor where you can get more towels, an ironing board, and filtered water. The lobby bar is so fun to hang out at in the evenings. I loved the large couches. The staff was also really nice both and check in and check out. They held our luggage on both ends and were very nice to deal with. Finally, the location is amazing. You are close to so many bars and restaurants without being stuck in the hustle and bustle of midtown. Overall I really enjoyed my stay at the public. I would recommend to anyone traveling to New York! read more

We booked the PUBLIC Hotel for a little staycation with friends and it was the absolute most perfect stay. Five stars for the vibe, location, infamous trippy escalator (worth every picture), and every single space here. Everything is perfectly stylish, curated, and chic. Obsessed with the concrete vs shadows, the dark but bright reception/lobby area and the fact they have a fresh juice bar. Perfect for your post workout! The dining/breakfast area covered in hanging plants and greenery is everything. Be sure to check out the bars and rooftop (which we didn't get to while we were staying here merp) and all the cool amenities they have. You almost need to only be here and not do anything else to fully enjoy everything but we had a packed schedule with so many fun things to do! The rooms are as stated, compact, minimal, pretty small but super functional. I do wish the gym matched the vibe of the rest of the spaces. I love that they have two peloton bikes but they're all banged up and could use a refresh. Awesome staycation at the PUBLIC, it was a whole vibeeeeeee. read more

This is specifically a review of the lobby bar inside the hotel. I personally have never stayed at the hotel and I'm unfamiliar with the brand. My girl and I were out and about lolly gagging and decided to stop for a drink before checking into our hotel at 4pm. The architecture inside this building is stunning. I loved the clean but eccentric vibe. The floor that we were on was very spacious and almost everyone in there had a laptop and was either working or studying. There were different styles of seating and there were offices that could be rented out. Also loved the bathroom. It's random but I love when a bathroom has completely enclosed stalls. I like going to the restroom without feeling like everyone is going with me (you know?). Anywho, we sat at the lobby bar and we were greeted by the bartender. The service was great, he was incredibly nice, he told us about the hotel and all the cool amenities like the yoga classes, rooftop bar, etc. He even gave us recommendations for places we could go out to that evening. I absolutely loved the drinks. I tried the Lower East Lover and the Public Paloma. All in all it's a nice, quiet place to grab a quick drink or even just do some remote work. read more

The name says it all, this place is on the same level as a public telephone or bathroom! From the rude and lack of staff, to the rooms the size of a cruise ship, this hotel is the worst I've ever experienced. I think sleeping on a public bench in front of the hotel would have been an upgrade. read more

This spot is absolutely gorgeous in the summer--watching the sunset here is simply breathtaking. The rooftop, however, can get quite crowded, and seating is usually reserved or only available if you get lucky. It's always a fun place to soak up the summer vibes. I stopped by for a quick prosecco, with a side of truffle fries and olives. The fries were a bit dry but the flavor was yummy! read more

Stayed here right after New Years for a few nights, and it had its ups and downs. Pros: Our room was cleaned daily, we had a great view of the city, and the food at the hotel was great. Cons: we asked for bathrobes multiple times and never received them, even after we were told they'd be sent to our room. It also seemed like we weren't allowed to just walk around the hotel? My friend and I returned from dinner one evening and were just poking around the building, and the staff would not leave us alone with, "what are you doing?" or "where are you going?" questions. It was quite annoying and we eventually just returned to our room because we felt like we were intruding at the hotel we paid to stay at. Not sure if it's a security thing, but I don't need people directing or questioning me in the building I'm paying to be in. read more

I love staying at this hotel. The rooms are chic and functional. They have free workout classes in the morning for guests on the 17th floor so there's a nice view. They also have some nice bars including a rooftop bar. The location in the Lower East Side is great as well, there are so many great food spots within walking distance. I don't recommend staying in a room on the lower floors near the club. Sometimes you can hear the club noises if you're trying to sleep. I tried the morning yoga class with Madeline and loved it! Indoor rooftop yoga is a great way to start the day. The views are nice and the teacher was great. Highly recommend checking out the workout classes here! It's free for guests of the hotel but anyone else can pay a fee to attend and signup online. read more

PUBLIC Hotel - Queen room with city view - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

It is a very nice hotel. I love the room. It looks different from other hotels, more modern. My bathroom sink and mirror was near the door, once you come in, it's there so that was different. My room had a nice outside view. I did find my room to be on the smaller size, but I am sure the double bed rooms are bigger. There is also a gym, a lot of machines and equipment to use. One of the best gyms I been to in a hotel. It is a big hotel so once you take the escalator, there are rooms and sitting areas for studying or working. There is also a bar area and dining. Outside is a small garden with sitting. This is honestly one of the best hotel I been to in NYC. read more

I was here for a (fashion) influencer event a few years ago and recently to stay in a room. PROS: The decor is absolutely gorgeous, their escalator is a well-known instaworthy backdrop, their public shared spaces are uplifting, and there's plenty of areas to work if you want a change of scenery or vibe. They also have faux fur blankets in the rooms that I've never seen offered elsewhere CONS: it gets LOUD on the weekends because a lot of people drink or party here and the standard rooms are surprisingly small.. like almost claustrophobic-level small read more

How about having your employees be somewhat informed about customer service? With the exception of Alfonso, Sam the bartender and the woman that checked us into the hotel their help was wonderful. We tipped them generously. However, our experience was all over the place. Much like their lack of signage to any restroom whatsoever. Imagine you attend to your older friend or parent and while we are ordering our food at the counter and our friend needs to use the restroom. So our friend is sent off haphazardly without any clear instructions or any real help from the staff and she needs physical assistance as she uses a cane. She's told the restroom is downstairs. And she gets lost trying to find a way around taking the stairs. Thank goodness for Alfonso who once again recognizes her and kindly escorts her to the restroom. And another couple was wandering around looking for the same restroom. And the Lobby level bartender had an attitude. If you ask what is being served you shouldn't get an unpleasant attitude without eye contact like you are an annoyance. When you are paying this much for a stay it should be excellent staff and service. Unfortunately it was hit and miss. And that's not acceptable. We wanted to like it here and some things were really wonderful. But a junior manager defended the hotel when he called me personally after I requested a call. He told me most of the other hotels do not have signage for their restrooms in the area. Hotel Biz 101...... never make an excuse that other hotels do the very thing that has upset the guest. read more

PUBLIC Hotel - Sunset NYC - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

The hotel was pretty cool. The bedroom was really small, but we already knew that before we booked it. I love that the windows turned really dark with the curtains when you turn it off that was pretty cool. The only thing I did not like was the bathroom it's really really small. The sink was not inside the bathroom and there was no exhaust fan .also whrn we west for dinner the food was extremely expensive and it wasn't all that but the rooftop had an amazing view. Would I come back here no . The staff was friendly. read more

Absolutely shocking experience at PUBLIC Hotel. I very rarely write negative reviews about a hotel. This was one of the most disappointing, and honestly disgusting, hotel stays I've ever had, especially for a so-called four-star property. We requested multiple times that our bedding be changed, and housekeeping never came to clean our sheets on our first day. Instead, around 8PM, we were handed sheets and told to change the bed ourselves because housekeeping was "done for the day." That alone is unacceptable at any hotel. But it got worse. One morning later, we woke up to bugs in bed, which I documented clearly on video and were identified as carpet beetles. Finding a bug in the bedding after being denied proper housekeeping is absolutely revolting and raises serious sanitation concerns. When we reported this, the situation was handled incredibly poorly. The hotel director dismissed it as probably a worm we supposedly brought in from outside, despite the video evidence showing a carpet beetle. The tone of the exchange felt minimizing and dismissive to the point of gaslighting, and at one point we were essentially told to "agree to disagree." The entire stay felt unsanitary, unprofessional, and nothing like what this hotel markets itself to be. If you value cleanliness, accountability, or basic hospitality, I would strongly reconsider staying here. read more

Wow, just wow! Super cute, minimalistic yet chic hotel! Lots of things happening in the hotel that you honestly don't need to leave the actual hotel to have fun!

The entrance at Public Hotel is a whole moment--the lights leading up the staircase instantly set the mood. It's sleek, stylish, and gives off that NYC magic as soon as you walk in. I had a Negroni and my friend had tequila on the rocks. Both were solid and well made. Comfy drinks in a space that feels intimate but still lively. It's cozy, romantic, and the staff was super attentive without being overbearing. Great spot to hang out where you can actually hear your friends talk. Definitely coming back for the vibes alone. read more

I was having a delicious cocktail at the bar when my jacket was stolen off the barstool. "It's a jungle out here" the staff said as they invited me to leave.

PUBLIC tends to get quite a bit of negative reviews - so here is my point of view summarizing my week long birthday trip stay. TL;DR: PUBLIC was the perfect choice for my week-long birthday trip. It checked all the boxes: clean, conveniently located, aesthetically pleasing, and offering a quiet yet lively atmosphere. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. While not without its flaws. Check-In: Arrived late at 9 PM and appreciated the fully automated, hassle-free check-in process. The elevators were fast, and my room was spotless and ready, which was exactly what I needed after a long flight. Room: The room was well-designed with plenty of counter and storage space--rare for NYC hotels. I loved the cozy couch nook with room underneath for luggage, making it perfect for relaxing without always being in bed. As someone who likes to keep things tidy even in a hotel room, it satisfied my organizing heart. Bathroom: Despite reviews about the lack of door causing water flow between the shower and bathroom. I had no issues with the glass-pane design. The shower was spacious, with great water pressure, and hooks made it practical. Definitely spacious for NYC standards. Cleaning: I typically do not opt for housekeeping, but I did request housekeeping come do trash removal since I stayed over three days. The staff was kind and efficient, no complaints. Location: PUBLIC's location is unbeatable. It is perfectly positioned as a central hub connecting Chinatown, FiDi, Tribeca, Midtown, and K-Town--all within a ~30-40 minute walk. I rarely needed the subway and enjoyed walking everywhere. As a huge foodie, I loved being so close to trendy and must-visit spots. This convenience was invaluable during my stay. Atmosphere: PUBLIC is clean, modern, and trendy but can feel a bit "elitist." If you don't fit the young, fashionable crowd, you might feel out of place. I kept to myself and enjoyed people-watching, especially at night when it turns into a lively club scene. Walking past the party crowd in my pajamas with takeout was oddly satisfying - who can relate to the feelings of JOMO. Perks: The coffee, breakfast, and juice bar were nice bonuses. Prices are comparable to other trendy spots in NYC, but cheaper options are easily available outside. Having an umbrella provided was perfect as it rained heavily 3 days I was there. Drawback: One star knocked off because the walls are THIN (guess that is how it is with NY architecture), nothing like a birthday wake up "call" at 4 AM to two people having *ahem and LOUDLY voicing their feelings. Definitely plan to be back when I return to NY! read more

PUBLIC Hotel - Day time view of room - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of the worst Hotels I've stayed at in the past 29 years in NYC!!! Cold water... burnt out light bulbs that they did not repair when I kindly informed them about!

It is definitely a place to be if you want to impress someone. There is a great outdoor space and a coffee/juice bar. The back space has a restaurant and upstairs is a lounge bar area.

Stayed in a double room with my friend for our weekend in the city and found it be...good! Considering the price we paid, there were a few things I feel really could have taken the experience from good to great: PROS: + No doubt about it, this hotel is absolutely stunning. From the welcome garden to the lobby to the well-appointed rooms, it maintains the Ian Schrager standard for design in a meaningful way. + Amenities in the room are great. I really appreciated the steamer, easy access to ice and water in the "essentials" closet, and how cozy the beds were. + Onsite eateries and grab and go options. There's an Essex juice, a super nice brunch spot, a stunning lobby bar, and the Roof. Really a great spot for corporate groups given the places there are to gather. + Location is close to the F train and many amazing eateries, bars, and things to do. CONS: + Check in process is a (pardon my french) shit show as many other reviewers have mentioned. They need to strongly consider moving to a standard check in desk model here. There's no point in the "self check in" ipads if literally not one competent traveller can get through the process without asking for assistance. I arrived 15 minutes after check in and was told my room wasn't ready only to have that remedied as soon as I flagged someone down. The service I did receive from staff was totally fine but the mood upon arrival was so, so bad as so many people were having issues. + Given the popularity of the Roof, the vibe and atmosphere here trends yuppy, bro-y, and young. Or maybe it's just intern season. I don't know. Either way, dreaded getting into the elevator every time. + Will do a separate review for the Roof but...hard no from me for a number of different reasons. Do plan to go up and see the view and maybe stay for one drink, but not a place you're going to want to spend the evening. + Loud banging and clanging noises from the street (which I would never fault a hotel for) but also from adjoining rooms that made our stay far from peaceful. Overall this is a fine option for the neighborhood but I think you can do better for less money. read more

Stayed Wed-Sun during the halloween weekend. The cost was 3.4k. If you value sleep and looking for quite hotel and a place to re-charge after a day around the city, avoid this place! There's roof top, event space on the 17th floor, party lounge on the second and a club in the basement. I paid extra for a park view room. Room was on the 6th floor and you can hear music vibrations when your head touches the pillow. Plus, not to mention rowdy and loud drunked crown trying to get into the hotel for any of the 4 party spaces. This is also a late night spot so it does last until 4am. Probably the worst sleep for the past 10 years. Requested for a room change, was told they are fully booked while website shows a bunch of rooms available for booking. I am giving one extra star only because of the location. If your goal is to party, this is a prime spot. Otherwise, avoid it. Do not recommend staying here. read more

You're paying for the rooftop. An expensive hotel that's mostly def service from check in to getting your own water down the hall. If you're not a night person who enjoys a rooftop party, there is no reason whatsoever to stay here. I imagine the legendary owner opened the place with the intention of rooms to crash after a night out. Nice clean, convenient rooms with no service since you're gonna be passing out after the party. read more

Hotel Review: After years of staying at the same chain hotels every time I visited NYC, I decided it was time to treat myself to a chic, boutique hotel. I was wary after seeing such polarizing reviews, but I personally had a very pleasant experience! The lobby has a self check in system but there was an attendant that happily helped me get situated. My room was ready by the time I arrived around 1pm. The spaces are as photographed, if not better in person. The hotel grounds are green and lush, the interiors are full of gorgeous materials and textures, and the location is unbeatable. The reason why I'm deducting a star is because the room windows are NOT sound proof, and I kept tossing and turning all night from outside noises. This isn't so much on the hotel brand but rather the person that selected installing those windows. I'll be bringing ear plugs next time. Besides that, I did thoroughly enjoy the design of the spaces throughout and would recommend. read more

I came to the rooftop on a Saturday with a group of friends. To get to the rooftop, you have to enter the entrance by the parking lot where your ID will be checked and you'll get a stamp. After you enter the entrance, you go up a flight of stairs. Even though there are multiple elevators, they only seemed to be operating one elevator and someone from the hotel will ride up with you. We had to wait 15 minutes in a line before we got to the elevator. Upon entering the rooftop, you're asked if you have a reservation or not (we did not). It was completely fine that we didn't have a reservation. The rooftop is stunning! Great views and such a pretty vibe/ambiance. There are couches for people to sit at and the bar is in the back. I got the Papaya Playa cocktail ($21). It honestly was nothing special and it didn't taste like much.... The bartender was also not that nice. My friend got the Piña con Fuego cocktail ($21) and she enjoyed it. There is water available for self serve at the bar. Overall, I am happy I was able to check this place out. Overpriced drinks, but you're ultimately paying for the view and experience. read more

Do not stay at this hotel. Updated review. The manager Pierre N saw an earlier review, requested me to report back on his team's conduct. Which is work on my part, so I asked for the All Access Fee to be refunded. He requested the invoice, I provide it to him. His final response was, "As your visit concluded over six months ago and no concerns were raised during or shortly after your stay, we're unable to offer compensation at this time. Addressing issues while guests are still with us allows our team to respond promptly and provide the most thoughtful resolution." We were unable to report when at the hotel due to our schedule and family illness. I cannot find on the hotel's resources and booking documents the requirement/timeline for issues to be reported. Pierre, if you can link to this, it's appreciated. We booked through a third party, it was $150 a night. The bathroom walls are glass, and when your family member or friend is in the bathroom you can hear everything. Hallways smelled like they might have a mold problem. You will have limited access to the rooftop depending on time of day, events. We walked around the rooftop indoor space for the views of the city, and the room was absolutely filthy. Dust, grime, dirt, and a very sticky floor. When trying to use the gym during normal operating hours a staff member told me I had to leave, I had yet to enter the gym. No reason was given.There is a lot of shared spaces that take away from the luxury branded experience. My wife said it best, "It's an event space with a hotel tacked on." The plethora of one star reviews are correct. Do not stay at this hotel. read more

Review for Lobby Bar only- We were walking around area and we thought it was a rooftop bar and had these interesting escalators to find out it was a hotel and all we want it was espresso martini so we found lobby bar and this was the best espresso martini I've ever had, it even had fresh roasted beans on top so we paid for the quality of the drink it was about $21 each which is a New York City price drink. the ambience of the hotel again this was a Friday afternoon before memorial day weekend so everyone look like they were working remote and on laptops so it had more of a coffee shop vibe. I'm sure that I would've changed later in to the evening play per our experience it was five star in the service and drink ordered. read more

Short Version: Extremely disappointing stay. Our stay at this hotel was one of the worst experiences. We booked and paid for a room with one queen and one double bed, but were given a single queen instead. Staff insisted that was the only reservation on file despite our confirmation clearly showing otherwise. As a result, one person had to sleep on the floor. We repeatedly requested extra blankets and bedding on July 26 and received no help. When we called the front desk, staff was dismissive and condescending instead of addressing the actual issue. After the stay, we were passed back and forth between the hotel and GovX, with each blaming the other and refusing responsibility. Even a refund of the price difference was denied. After our stay, we reached out to management, Pierce Nguyen. His responses were dismissive and focused on excuses rather than resolving the issue. We were only offered a discount for a future stay, refusing to even refund the price difference between the room we booked and the room we received. Poor service, lack of accountability, and zero effort to make things right. Would not recommend. Long Review: Our stay at this hotel was one of the worst experiences we've had while traveling, due to poor service, misinformation, and a complete lack of accountability. We booked and paid for a room with one queen and one double bed, which is more expensive than a standard queen room. The original reservation was canceled and immediately rebooked the same day, and we arrived with a valid confirmation clearly showing the correct room type. Despite this, hotel staff insisted the only reservation on file was for a single queen. This was simply false. We had documentation proving otherwise, yet it was ignored. Because of this mistake, whether caused by the hotel or their system syncing with a third-party booking site, one person in our group was forced to sleep on the floor. This was not a minor inconvenience; it completely disrupted what was supposed to be a relaxing trip. To make matters worse, we requested extra blankets and bedding on the evening of July 26 to make the situation more bearable. Nothing was delivered. When we followed up by calling the front desk, the staff was dismissive and condescending. Instead of addressing our need for additional bedding, we were told, "You can turn up the temperature if you know how to do it," as if we were confused. The issue was never the temperature, it was the lack of proper bedding due to the hotel's error. Later, the hotel attempted to excuse this by referencing a "Do Not Disturb" sign placed on the door the next day (July 27), which has absolutely nothing to do with why we received no blankets on the 26th. This explanation felt like an attempt to deflect blame rather than acknowledge the failure. After our stay, we tried to resolve the issue properly. We were passed back and forth between the hotel and GovX, with each side claiming it wasn't their responsibility. GovX ultimately confirmed that the hotel denied the refund request, even though we only asked for a refund of the price difference between the room we booked and the room we received, a reasonable and fair request. We reached out to hotel management directly, hoping the issue would finally be handled professionally. Unfortunately, the response from the manager was just as disappointing, dismissive in tone and focused entirely on excuses and deflecting blame, rather than acknowledging what went wrong or taking responsibility.Instead of accountability, we were offered a small discount on a future stay, which we declined. After this experience, we have no intention of returning. This situation was mishandled from start to finish. Between the incorrect room, lack of basic accommodations, dismissive staff, and refusal to make things right afterward, this hotel failed on every level. I would strongly advise others to book elsewhere. read more

The vibe of this hotel is soooo cool, my partner and I were stoked to realize that there were so many cool things to do in the hotel like the rooftop bar and the club!

Over the years, I did come here for different events, some that take place during Fashion Week in NYC and some at just various times of the year. This is a nice hotel and the event space was very nice. I would say overall, not a bad way to spend the day and socialize with friends and to also enjoy some cocktails at the bar downstairs. The event I did go for Fashion Week in 2024 was very nice, 5 days ago. read more

Up arrival we were questioned at the door before entering to see if we had reservations by the elevator guy, and the party behind us just got let in with no questions asked. Service was incredibly slow, and there's an unexpected $100 minimum per person, which they don't inform you about until you're already there. Our server, a young lady, seemed completely untrained and had zero knowledge about the food or drinks. The view might be decent, but it's not worth the hassle or the money.

Reviewing for the rooftop bar: It is one of the most breathtaking rooftops I have been to in the city. Because of this, it is the perfect place to take pictures for my buddies Hinge profiles. Hahahahahaha. See attached pictures, we got some great shots. All my homies cute though so it's easy. My only complaint about this is that in order to go outside, you need to buy a drink and there are only 2 bartenders so it takes FOREVER. It literally took us 20 minutes to get 3 beers. $12 for a beer which is to be expected in a place like this. Once you step into the deck area, the view is immaculate. Skyline everywhere you look. The crowd here is very boujee and pretentious (I write as I have a prada bag on my shoulder, haha) so if that's not your type of people maybe choose another spot. As we were getting set to leave, this Swedish lady walks up to the 3 of us (3 on 1) and starts hitting on my buddy, it was so beast. The way she did it though was the most finesse things I've ever seen, and I for one was inspired. I make too many excuses. All in all, a great spot to watch a sunset and have a drink! read more
