Mondrian

Mondrian Review

A city club attitude pervades at the spendy Mondrian. Socializing begins in the lobby bar and lounge, extends through the all-white Asia de Cuba restaurant, and then moves out onto the sparkly patio to the divans surrounding the pool. Hotel guests gain access to the Sky Bar—still a scene most weekend nights. Designer Benjamin Noriega completely redid the rooms, adding bamboo floors and an oversize mirror that swivels to reveal a flat-screen TV. Bathrooms have a convenient wall of hooks, pocket door, and rain showerhead. Sheer curtains hide the closet. Windows are now double-paned for quiet—a good thing as street noise from Sunset Boulevard is constant to the north and the pool and Sky Bar echo with party people year-round to the south.
