"As the name might imply, the public spaces are a big factor here, and once you walk through the ground-level garden and take the glowing, futuristic elevators up to the lobby, an entire community awaits—one with big white sofas, work spaces, and plenty of locals who come to get some work done in a setting that's a bit more exciting than their neighborhood café. Public also raises the bar when it comes to hotel restaurants, with Peruvian-inspired cuisine at Popular and Cantina & Pisco Bar. Whether you're mingling at the rooftop bar (which morphs into a nighttime scene post sunset) or joining one of the complimentary yoga or pilates classes, you're bound to have your next meet-cute at this hang-out-friendly hotel." - Jessica Sulima
