Travel Talk: PUBLIC Hotel in SoHo
As an interior designer, I am alway searching for a unique stay wherever I travel. Every year I go back to the East Coast to see my family for the holidays, so when I was researching hotels in New York last year I stumbled upon The PUBLIC Hotel in Soho. This was the one. Incredibly designed and unique, this hotel is a must see even if you don’t stay there.
