"THE ONLY WAY TO DISTINGUISH YOURSELF IS TO BE YOURSELF IN THE PURSUIT OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL VISION."- IAN SCHRAGER.
A hotel in NY - where museum quality art dorns the walls.
Started by Ian Schrager and Julian Schnabel, (or at least he is involved somehow). Anyway, this guy
Just when boutique hotels are becoming trendy, Gramercy Park Hotel takes to a different beat. Anyway, check out the website for yourself and see.
\\Since the 70’s, entrepreneur Ian Schrager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ian Schrager Company, has achieved international recognition for concepts that have revolutionized both the entertainment and hospitality industries.
His passionate commitment to the modern lifestyle has been expressed through a series of pioneering concepts: The hotel as home away from home, the hotel as theater, "cheap chic", "lobby socializing", the indoor/outdoor lobby, the urban resort, and the urban spa.
His keen instincts for the mood and feel of popular culture were honed during the 70’s and 80’s, when he and his late business partner, Steve Rubell, created Studio 54 and Palladium. Rubell and Schrager soon turned their attention to the hotel business opening Morgans Hotel in 1984, introducing the concept of the "boutique hotel" to the world.
Following this were the equally well received and highly successful Royalton Hotel and Paramount Hotel, in which Schrager again broke with industry convention by creating "lobby socializing", where the hotel lobby became a new kind of gathering place for guests and New York City residents alike, and "cheap chic", where affordable luxury was offered in a stylish and sophisticated environment.\\
