Ian Schrager: From the King of Clubs to ...

About this episode

Tina talks with her friend Ian Schrager, who will forever be known for co-founding Studio 54, the nightclub that set the standard for all time for New York nightlife and celebrity and left thousands of people cursing its velvet rope. Unless, of course, you got in. In the decades since, Schrager has proved he can make lightning strike again by reinventing himself as a spectacularly successful hotelier. Reigning over a string of hip boutique hotels from London to LA, Schrager has upped his game in recent years by recasting luxury in a more affordable mode and bringing back cool, if not disco, to a gentrified Times Square. He also talks with Tina about the epic Vanity Fair bash they threw together, why he was never the life of the party, and why his home life beats life in a swanky hotel any day.
