THE MONDRIAN SOHO

Set to become a Manhattan favorite, the third Mondrian opened its doors on Crosby Street this week. Similar to its sisters in Los Angeles and South Beach, this design-led hotel promises entertainment and wild nightlife in a supremely stylish setting.

Interiors come from Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, the man behind the Mondrian Los Angeles, and the hotel’s in-house team. Taking inspiration from Jean Coucteau’s 1946 French fantasy film La Belle et la Bête, guestrooms are romantic, with powdery blue-and-white-patterned textiles, enormous mirrors and saturated blue floors. And in the lobby, custom furniture, designed by Noriega, is scattered to form a casual seating area.

Close to a number of fashion emporiums and the New Museum, the hotel is an ideal base for exploring this hip neighborhood. And Chef Sam Talbot’s new restaurant, Imperial No. Nine is expected to draw a crowd of A-listers and fashionistas hungry for sustainable seafood and thirsty for handcrafted cocktails so there will be people watching aplenty.

Situated near a metro station, this New York hotel is close to Children’s Museum of the Arts, Museum of Chinese in Americas, and Eldridge Street Synagogue. Also nearby are Brooklyn Bridge and Empire State Building.

At one point, this building was known as Le Grand Palais. Now known as The Mondrian, it is named after the great modernist painter famed for his “Broadway Boogie Woogie” designs of colored grids.
