Morgans Hotel Group Announces Mondrian SoHo Opening March 1st
January 12, 2011
Fantasy meets sophisticated chic with Morgans Hotel Group's unveiling of its third Mondrian, the renowned lifestyle brand known for its distinct style of hospitality, nightlife and entertainment, and the company's downtown debut in Manhattan's famed SoHo neighborhood at 9 Crosby Street.
Situated intimately in the midst of lower Manhattan's coveted SoHo neighborhood, Mondrian takes its place amongst a-list residents, fashionable and picturesque streets, charm and energy. Mondrian joins a unique offering of retail, art and culinary innovators and adds to this renowned cultural destination in lower Manhattan. Boasting over 100 shops, 250 galleries, and nearly 200 restaurants, SoHo is the most talked about neighborhood in New York. Noteworthy destinations close to Mondrian include Jil Sander, Opening Ceremony, Saturday Surf Shop and the New Museum, amongst others. Nearby popular areas include Greenwich Village, Nolita, the Lower East Side, Tribeca and Chinatown.
Morgans Hotel Group selected Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, the visionary behind the re-imagined Mondrian Los Angeles, to create Mondrian SoHo in collaboration with the company's renowned in-house design team. By weaving in elements of the signature Mondrian brand ethos in subtle yet provocative design features throughout the property, Morgans Hotel Group has created a luxurious, yet approachable destination. The romantic design draws inspiration from Jean Coucteau's 1946 French fantasy film “La Belle et la Bête”, an iconic romantic adaptation of two French fairy tales, awakening the imagination and inviting guests into a vibrant escape. All the while delivering the luxurious, chic and comfortable style for which the Mondrian brand is best known.
As guests enter Mondrian through a lush green garden topiary facade on Crosby Street, the story of “La Belle et la Bête” is unveiled in the lobby: a powdery French blue color palette unifies a series of seating vignettes over a pale oak floor. The casual and eclectic seating groups featuring custom furniture designed by Noriega, echo the whimsical environments of other signature properties within the Morgans Hotel Group portfolio.
At the highly anticipated Imperial No. 9, located just off the lobby, Chef Sam Talbot will introduce his sustainable seafood concept with a 150-seat restaurant. In keeping with Noriega's dream-like theme, an opulent cluster of crystal chandeliers hangs over a large, mirror-topped communal table and anchors the main dining room. White washed oak floors and sandy-beige walls accented with antique mirrors embellish the airy atmosphere. A long bar clad in white-washed oak and cream colored stone serves as a casual imbibing spot with a selection of handcrafted cocktails that Morgans Hotel Group's nightlife destinations are famous for. A play of sand colors and textures compliment subtle references to ocean motifs, giving the room a sense of refined elegance while maintaining the allure found throughout the hotel.
The garden building at Imperial No. 9 boasts a romantic setting complemented by an elegant crystal chandelier collection and accented with potted plants and natural ficus trees, all beneath the shelter of a dramatic glass roof. The centerpiece of the space is a delicate over-sized glass sculpture created by acclaimed artist Beth Lipman, and serving as a reference to Cocteau's story in which seduction takes the form of an elaborate feast, prepared nightly. A zinc-topped, potting shed -style bar features wood shelving with potted plants, complimenting the elegant garden atmosphere. A Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz signature double-sided cottage swing completes the casual playfulness of the room and references the whimsy of the designer's swing in the lobby of Mondrian Los Angeles.
Mondrian's mesmerizing ambiance continues within the 270-room hotel, which includes four sprawling suites, each featuring a terrace, and a grand Penthouse on Mondrian's 25th floor. Saturated blue corridors with custom carpet adorned with a rose vine design provide entryway to the elegant jewel-box rooms featuring large dramatic mirrors, a clever nod to the ubiquitous French tale. A number of rooms also feature a pristine marble foyer and bar area, sparkling chrome desks and classic translucent doors offering entry to the bathroom with custom-designed fixtures. Chrome night tables and sconces offset an angelic white bed, 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows capture the essence of a true New York City loft while lending stunning views from within the SoHo neighborhood's tallest building.
The 1,170 square-foot Penthouse is the perfect, exclusive events destination, featuring a 200 square foot north-facing terrace with dramatic views of the Empire State building and an additional 2,000 square foot south facing terrace with stunning panoramic views.
Mondrian is offering a preview rate of $229, including continental breakfast, from February 22nd, leading up to the opening of Imperial No. 9 on March 1st. As of March 1st, rates begin at $259, based on availability.
