1. Public Hotel
Hospitality legend Ian Schrager opened his Public Hotel this summer, and it quickly became a magnet for celebrity-filled events. Herzog & de Meuron designed the 367-room property, which features more than 13,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space. Also on site are a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant; a modular, multimedia venue that can serve a variety of functions; and an outdoor garden designed by Madison Cox.
