"The sleek Public hotel — exhibit A: the glowing escalators are perfect Instagram bait — goes for a more nostalgic vibe with Bar Chyrstie. The velvet emerald green chairs and shimmering chandeliers take a page from iconic bars like Bar Hemingway at the Hôtel Ritz Paris and Harry’s Bar in Venice. For cocktails, classics like martinis and old fashioneds get an updated touch with dramatic flair like smoky ice cubes and ornate glassware." - Paul Schrodt, Jessica Ma, Bao Ong
