Ian Schrager, creator of the boutique hotel concept, 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 a theater, "cheap chic", "lobby socializing", the indoor/outdoor lobby, the urban resort, and the urban spa. His revolutionary boutique hotel concept has brought him international recognition for his one-of-a-kind “urban resorts” such as the Delano Hotel in Miami, Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood and the newly minted PUBLIC Hotel in Chicago. Schrager’s keen instincts for the mood and feel of popular culture were honed during the70's and 80's, when he and his late business partner, Steve Rubell, created the legendary Studio 54 and Palladium nightclubs. They soon turned their attention to the hotel business opening Morgans Hotel Group in 1984, setting their sights on revolutionizing the hospitality industry. In 2005, Schrager sold Morgans Hotel Group, a company he founded, to create Ian Schrager Company which owns, develops and manages hotels, residential and mixed use projects. He is currently working on launching two new hotel brands in various 24 hour gateway cities around the world.
