For those seeking a familiar jaunt on the hotel circuit, a visit to Mondrian never disappoints. Opening earlier this year with a killer set by no other than The Kills, Morgan Hotel Group’s latest venture, Mondrian Soho has already held private soirees for Kanye West, Sean Lennon and Leigh Lezark to name just a few. In downtown Soho, it’s in fine A-list company with nightlife, shopping and an art scene that rivals anywhere in the world right on its doorstep. Inside, the grandiose interiors have a surrealist nod, with oversized armchairs adorning the communal areas, and bright cobalt blue carpet playing host to each suite’s imposing bed. Located just off the lobby, chef Sam Talbot has introduced a sustainable seafood concept with a 150 seat restaurant No. 9. Sit up at the bar and enjoy a handcrafted cocktail by John Lermayer – who’s helped make the Morgans Hotel Group’s nightlife famous, or take your seat in the impressive dining area with crystal chandeliers and sculptures by acclaimed artist Beth Lipman.
