  • Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager Opened Studio 54 40 Years Ago, and It Soon Became the Epicenter of New York City's Nightlife for Nearly Three Years
    Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager opened Studio 54 40 years ago, and it soon became the epicenter of New York City's nightlife for nearly three years. While it lasted, many photographers flocked to the bacchanal to capture the celebrities and other lucky denizens as they danced and snorted and frolicked under that iconic Man in the Moon with the coke spoon sculpture. One of the men on the scene was Gene Spatz, a pioneering paparazzo and street photographer who most people have never heard about. Unlike Ron Galella's work – which has been exhibited and is collected as fine art – after Spatz died in 2003 the archive of images was inherited by his younger sister, Amy Lowen, and packed away in filing cabinets in her Kentucky home. She avoided the task of assessing what she had in her possession for nearly a decade until she began to unearth her brother's forgotten treasures. "While he was working in the late Seventies, I had gotten married, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and wasn't a part of Gene's day-to-day life," Lowen tells Rolling Stone. "It wasn't until he was gone, and I had brought everything home and put it in storage, that I began to open up these envelopes and discover his work." The black-and-white photographs included scenes from iconic clubs like Studio 54 and Xenon; shots of Carrie Fisher, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Redford; as well quirky New York City street life tableaus in the 1970s and Eighties. Lowen recognized some of the celebrities in the photos, but she wasn't sure what exactly her brother's archives contained – or its value to the world.

  • Ian Schrager Introduces His Transformative New Brand Public to New York City
    IAN SCHRAGER INTRODUCES HIS TRANSFORMATIVE NEW BRAND PUBLIC TO NEW YORK CITY Times change. People change. Culture changes. Luxury as we once knew it has changed. Hotels have not. A new way of living requires a new kind of hotel. There has not been a new idea in the lifestyle hotel space since Ian Schrager’s Morgans, Royalton and Paramount hotels over 25 years ago. Every hotel since then has been derivative of those. The time is right, in this new milieu, for a disruption in hospitality as there clearly is a dislocation in the market. It is the same type of dislocation and void that led Schrager to conceptualize Morgans back in 1982 which created a cultural revolution and changed the industry. “I wanted to create a hotel for my generation, not my parents’, and one that reflected my tastes and sensibilities as well as popular culture at the time. I was responding to cultural shifts that were emerging. I see the exact same opportunity now. That is the reason for PUBLIC,” says Schrager. PUBLIC’s fundamental premise is LUXURY FOR ALL. It is built on four key pillars: service, style, unique experience and value. However, it’s not luxury as we traditionally know it, but luxury reflecting a new definition. Luxury is no longer about things or how much something costs. It is not a business classification, a price point or based on scarcity. Luxury is now about experiences and how something makes you feel. Luxury is being democratized and is now for everyone. “I truly believe that everyone deserves a one-of-a-kind experience that lifts their spirits and makes their heart beat faster, one that elicits an emotional response…and to deliver this at a reasonable price point is even more on the mark for today’s savvy and sophisticated traveler,” says Schrager.

Always on the forefront of technological innovation and innovative space design, they provide interesting experiences for patrons. Today, consumers seek out hotels with unique values, such as cultural and artistic features, that can enhance their trip.

  • A Night in Sunset with Ian Schrager and DJ Harvey
    RIGHT NOW A Night in Sunset with Ian Schrager and DJ Harvey The nightlife icons discuss what makes the perfect party, and yes, Studio 54. By ELIZA HARPER WALLACE | Nov 17 2019, 5:45am SHARE TWEET Chaka Khan performs at the opening party of the West Hollywood EDITION Hotel. n Tuesday night, full moon blazing, I was folded up in the corner of the tiny O speakeasy side room of Sunset, a basement club located in the new West Hollywood EDITION Hotel, holding three to seven martinis, and trying to take on the affected languor of Kate Beckinsale in The Last Days of Disco. When I told the jovial man in a tank top to my left that I was there to write about some of the most iconic of the club people, he drawled, “How is your article gonna start: ‘At a nightclub where the LA intelligencia and glitterati coalesce in the inner sanctum of Ian Schrager’s pipe dream?’” I said, “Yeah, that sounds right.” ADVERTISEMENT Later in the evening, Chaka Khan would give a surprise performance by the dance floor under a ceiling packed densely with disco balls for a crowd that included all the kind of people you would want at a party, like Janelle Monae, Ru Paul, Lenny Kravitz, Samantha Ronson, and New York’s party icon, Susanne Bartsch. Beautiful people all shouting, “He-he-hello!” to each other, or so I imagined. I spent more time dancing than peering at faces. Just a few hours before, I sat in the penthouse of the hotel with DJ Harvey, lovable rapscallion of the global disc jockey scene, self-affirmed vibrationalist, and permanent LA expat as he conversed with Ian Schrager, renowned club owner and hotelier with exacting taste, qualifications that span six decades, and a wealth of stories from the opulent and fabled parties where disco and dancing culture reached their frenzied apogee.
