The Public, Gold Coast

Hotelier Ian Schrager knows glamour, and The Public is a re-imagined Gold Coast hotspot—an au courant transformation of the historic see-and-be-seen  Ambassador East Hotel. Rooms are achingly sophisticated, with a “no color” color scheme, Frette linens, down bedding, Giacometti-inspired desks and marble mosaic bathrooms with Corian sinks.
