It was recognized with the concept of "boutique hotel", where he worked with the opening of Morgans Hotel successfully in 1984.

Later, he upped the ante at the Hotel Delano in Miami and the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, two proto-"Resort", which integrate high design spectacular. In 2005, after he left the Morgans Hotel Group, founded Schrager Ian Schrager Company.
