Why The Rome Edition Hotel Never Fails To Deliver La Dolce Vita
The eternal city's understated, elegant Rome Edition is becoming a destination in its own right for the chic set The style cognoscenti have a new place to pose – a space that features all the hallmarks of Ian Schrager's chic aesthetic, but with a decidedly Roman accent. In a city filled with beautiful boutique hotels, charming historic stalwarts and big-name chains, The Rome Edition has carved its own niche, showcasing a plethora of contradictions that work in perfect harmony. Steps away from the high fashion shops of Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini, the hotel – a grand, converted 1940s bank whose structure has been thankfully preserved – is in the heart of historic Rome, but still feels tucked away from the noise of the city. There's an intimacy to this 91-room property, but it somehow still has scale, with an astonishing statement staircase kept from its original incarnation. The rooms are sophisticated and modern – but never cold – decked out in muted tones with Carrera marble bathrooms and light Canaletto walnut beds. And although it is a lush, greenery-filled sanctuary that's ideal to escape the summer heat, it's also a place to make a bee-line to if you want to soak up the upbeat atmosphere of its garden courtyard, nab a coveted sunbed by the rooftop terrace pool or have a spicy tequila Earth cocktail in the intimate 12-seater Jade Bar. Don't miss the private members' club like Punch Room either, where mixologists will magic up potent tonics amid interiors done up in rich velvets and woods. Italian cuisine is very much on the menu, with high-end local dishes like Cavaleri spaghetti – conjured up with three types of tomatoes, grilled octopus and tempura zucchini flowers with prawns, served up by chef Antonio Gentile at flagship eatery Anima, with a focus on seasonality. Out top tip? Book a table on the light-filled terrace that epitomises the indoor-outdoor vibe of the hotel; you will want to linger to soak up the ambiance, and people watch, even after you've sipped the last of your post-meal espresso

The Barcelona Edition hotel review: tasteful, understated luxury in the Gothic Quarter
B arcelona meets New York at this pared-down five-star, housed inside a fabulously renovated 1970s office building in the city's charming Gothic Quarter. The Edition brand is a collaboration between the Marriott group and the pop-culture legend Ian Schrager — aka the founder of Studio 54 — and the feel is suitably chic. The lobby sets the tone with designer furniture by Christian Liaigre, elegant wood panelling and verdant potted palms. Subtle details allude to the locality — framed prints from well-known Barcelonian photographers Colita and Xavier Miserachs, and Gaulino sculptural chairs. The whole property is infused with a gorgeous black-tea scent, a custom creation from Le Labo. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Score 8/10 The 100 rooms here are a study in quiet luxury, with considered details that are too often overlooked (hello, clearly labelled light switches and individual reading lights). Beds are huge and dangerously comfortable, each with their own fur-look throw. Design-wise, expect clean lines and refined materials — walnut panelling and a Spanish leather bedhead, Hungarian-style parquets on the floors.

Janelle Monae bares her breasts as raunchy singer joins Bebe Rexha and Coco Rocha at no-holds barred Met Gala after-party in New York
The theme may well have been fashion enslavement, but the chains were clearly broken as a host of celebrities let loose at the PUBLIC hotel in New York City on Monday evening. Just hours after turning heads at the annual Met Gala, those in possession of the hottest ticket in town were attracting further attention at the extravagant Chrystie Street venue. Playing host to the risquest after-party of the night, the Ian Schrager owned PUBLIC welcomed stars including Janelle Monae, Bebe Rexha and Coco Rocha for an exclusive, cocktail-fuelled celebration. Deemed the Oscars of the East Coast, the Met Gala sees some of the biggest stars descend on the iconic The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual charity event. Teyana Taylor, La La Anthony and Ego Nwodim hosted the Vogue livestream, with Emma Chamberlain tasked with doing interviews on the blue carpet. This year was also the first Met Gala in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme, with the focus being Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. The gala was also being hosted by a group of Black male celebrities, including Williams, the musical artist and Louis Vuitton menswear director, and Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky named as co-chairs. LeBron James, who was named an honorary chair, previously announced that he will miss the gala due to the knee injury he suffered in the Lakers' season-ending loss to the Timberwolves during Game 5 of their first-round playoff series last Wednesday. As this year's honorary chair, the NBA 's all-time leading scorer shared that his wife, Savannah James, will attend in his place. 'Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won't be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on!' James, 40, wrote on X, just hours before the Met Gala red carpet event. They were joined by Vogue's Anna Wintour, the mastermind behind the gala, considered the year's biggest and starriest party. The A-list lineup was packed with stars like Rihanna, Sydney Sweeney, Hailey Bieber, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cynthia Erivo. Bad Bunny, Donatella Versace, Vera Wang, Usher, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Allen White, and Suki Waterhouse were also on the guest list. The gala raises the bulk of the curation budget for the museum's Costume Institute. This year, it's about tailoring and suiting as interpreted through the history and meaning of Black dandyism across the Atlantic diaspora. The theme is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, which this year is based in large part on Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, a book written by Monica L. Miller. She is guest curator of the exhibit. 'Historical manifestations of dandyism range from absolute precision in dress and tailoring to flamboyance and fabulousness in dress and style,' Miller writes in the exhibit catalog. 'Whether a dandy is subtle or spectacular, we recognize and respect the deliberateness of the dress, the self-conscious display, the reach for tailored perfection, and the sometimes subversive self-expression.' Just days before the fundraiser, Sarah Jessica Parker, left fans stunned as she, sadly, confirmed she would not be attending due to a scheduling conflict. 'I have to work,' the Sex and The City star told Entertainment Tonight. 'But there's going to be so much to see, and I look forward to seeing what everybody does and how they interpret the theme and the homework they did for the assignment. A very joyful assignment.' While speaking about fashion's biggest night, the Golden Globe winner continued: 'I care a lot about it and I want to try to honor the work of the curators and everybody who sort of inspired this moment for those of us who get to attend.' Despite a string of showstopping looks, Jennifer Lopez also skipped this year's gala, with learning that the star was busy working on her new film, Office Romance. The exhibit, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, draws on other sources beyond Miller's book. It's organised into 12 sections. Each symbolises a characteristic of dandy style as defined by Zora Neale Hurston in her 1934 essay, Characteristics of Negro Expression. The guest list amounts to about 450 high-profile people from tech, sports, art, entertainment and more.

There's an adorable new ridable life-sized carousel outside the PUBLIC hotel
Spring is in the air, and so is a splash of nostalgia. The PUBLIC hotel just dropped one of the city's most Instagrammable art installations yet: a fully rideable, life-sized carousel in the middle of Chrystie Park, the hotel's front courtyard. Dubbed 'Down the Rabbit Hole,' the surreal centerpiece is the brainchild of artist Pose (of 'Beyond The Streets' fame) in collaboration with hotelier Ian Schrager. Inspired by New York City's 1980s graffiti heyday and the imaginative pull of storybooks, this public art piece transforms the familiar childhood ride into a riot of color, symbolism and urban soul. Set to spin outside the hotel through the end of August, the carousel isn't just a pretty photo op: it's an immersive art experience that allows you to climb aboard, encouraging you to take in the layers of visual storytelling at play. Pose's signature style fuses comic book flourishes with pop art punch, resulting in a dreamy yet gritty aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and entirely new. 'New York was my amusement ride,' says Pose, who embedded personal memories into the piece. 'I don't want to give too much away cause it's meant to be explored and owned experientially by the viewers and riders.' From flowers cracking through concrete to emergency axes symbolizing escape, the ride is loaded with metaphor. But don't worry if you're just in it for the vibes—between the candy-colored panels and the whimsical yellow path that leads to it, the installation doubles as a mini escape amidst downtown chaos. You'll find it outside the PUBLIC Hotel at 215 Chrystie Street, beckoning locals, tourists and curious art lovers alike to take a spin—literally—through one artist's joyful, chaotic, very NYC mind.
