Public Chicago

PUBLIC, created by hotelier Ian Schrager, is an entirely new class of hotel. Its fundamental attributes are innovative, sophisticated, authentic style; personalized, empathetic 'essential' service; lasting comfort with complete functionality, all provided for an affordable price and tremendous value. For the first time, this type of hotel experience will be available for everyone and anyone who wants it.

At PUBLIC, service matters most. But the key point of differentiation is in the kind and quality of services it offers. The PUBLIC brand will only offer services that matter, those that guests really want and need rather than an array of superfluous services they do not use.

PUBLIC Chicago is a complete transformation of the Gold Coast's famed Ambassador East Hotel and its historic Pump Room restaurant. Rich with a cultural heritage that spans decades, the hotel and the Pump Room was a place to see and be seen and played host to a multitude of celebrities and people from all over the world and all walks of life. Guestrooms are individually-furnished and are spacious with superior functionality.
