<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/schragertischmain.JPG" class="imgborder"> Last night, we headed <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/22/154435/151/hotels/Ian_Schrager_And_Jonathan_Tisch_Are_Gonna_Dish_Tonight">up to the 92nd Street Y</a> in New York City to hear <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Ian%20Schrager">Ian Schrager</a> in conversation with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Loews%20Hotels">Loew's</a> CEO <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Jonathan%20Tisch">Jonathan Tisch</a>. The discussion was called "The Future of Lifestyle and Business," and we were totally psyched to geek out and gawk at the J-Man and I-Nasty. And, more importantly, we were ready and waiting to hear about what's up next for the industry from two of the most prominent and influential hoteliers in the biz. Instead, we mostly listened to Schrager discuss his life, his past and his personal future in business. Alright, so it was a little bit different than what we'd expected -- but still pretty fascinating.

We at HotelChatter are utter hotel geeks. That's why we often type in domain names for new hotels and hotel brands, cross our fingers and hope that maybe just maybe, a new website will appear.

Today we hit jackpot!

New York: Ian Schrager Reflects On His First Child Now That It's All Grown Up

In yesterday's New York Observer, Ian Schrager took a little bit of time to sit down and chitty-chat about Morgans New York, his very first hotel that "broke the rules" way back in 1984 -- the boutique property set him on a straight path to becoming the trailblazing hotelier he eventually would be.

Today, Morgan's -- which Ian refers to fondly as being "almost like a first child" -- is unveiling a $10 million revamp of the hotel's original look with a swanky party in the hotel's penthouse. The soiree is hosted by original French designer Andr�e Putman.
