Ambassador East as a Public space
We have stayed at this hotel five times since it re-opend as Public in the fall of 2011. It is located in a residential neighborhood that I find similiar to New York in its feel. The hotel provides a consistently nice experience. The rooms are spare and contemporary and the public spaces are attractive. The lobby is taken over by the bar crowd in the evening and is a magnet for those looking for a "scene", especially on weekends.
