Studio 54 creator opens new WeHo hotel — and $35 gets you access to its lush rooftop oasis

The 137-room hotel includes a 14,000-square-foot rooftop park and a $35 day pass for non-guests.

  • On October 30, lifestyle impresario Ian Schrager opened Public West Hollywood, a 137-room hotel occupying the 1962 building that previously housed the Standard Hotel for more than 20 years.
  • Originally the Thunderbird Inn, the structure evolved through multiple identities before Schrager transformed it, reinforcing walls to create a 14,000-square-foot park-like rooftop relaxation zone for up to 400 guests.
  • Featuring 14,000 square feet of outdoor space, the hotel offers guest rooms with 11-foot-wide projectors instead of televisions, reflecting Schrager's vision of "luxury for all" at rates starting at about $450.
  • Approximately 75% of the public space is designed outdoors to suit Southern California, while Highgate Hotels manages the property and offers cultural programming including Pilates and sound baths.
  • Schrager plans to open three additional hotels in Manhattan, with the first expected to debut within 18 months as he expands his Public Hotels brand.
