Transcript

We are in New York City at the Public Hotel with its founder. Hello. My name is Ian Schrader. Let's take a tour. This is Ian Schrader, the man behind Studio fifty four, one of the most iconic nightclubs. I've never been in a room with so many celebrities. It was, like, numb. He invented the boutique hotel, launched addition with Marriott, and built public hotels. We're on-site to see how the legend does it. This is an icon. Right? Well, in order to make getting to the 2nd Floor a trip Yeah. An experience and put in the escalator. So busy in here, Ian. No. You can't fool the people. Do a great product, the PeopleCoast. Meant to be a luxury hotel, but at affordable, accessible price. Luxury for all you say. Very important idea. No correlation between the price and luxury as far as I'm concerned. It seems like the, demographic is a little bit younger. We appeal to a sensibility. Tier know, I'm 78. I feel that Miley Cyrus is a custom. You're not a custom. Yeah. Doctor. Wright is quick on me. I'm trying to get this on the fly feedback when you come in. It's a curse. I'm always out for perfection. I want it to be exactly the way, vision. Thanks, man. You know, the point is is this room is done like a machine. Everything has a function. Every detail has been poured through. There isn't a inch of space that has a been dropped over. This is what? The rooftop. This is a cocktail bar. There is some dancing between the chairs on occasion, but at night it's magical up here. It's like you're floating in the sky. Ian, is this as close as we'll ever get to Studio 54? No. There may be others. This is our night club. Just the hot, sweaty, tribal dance. We're trying to create a unique experience. It's more than a place to sleep. There's a rumor you have a new project coming. In LA, we should be opening up best couple of months, November ish. November ish. We're wishing you the best of luck, man. Thank you. You're a legend. I appreciate you. Thank you for cutting up the time.
