Mondrian South Beach Hotel is planned for opening in early 2008. It is supposed to combine vary fashion design elements of a fantasy modern get-away along with all the comforts and conveniences of home. Mondrian South Beach Morgans Hotel Group has made a pioneering move away from the bustle of Miami Beach’s oceanfront tourist center to the fashionable, growing neighborhood of Biscayne Bay. The Hotel Residence is built on a prime waterfront location and provides breathtaking views of the Atlantic and downtown Miami.

Facilities will include Agua: a spa featuring wet and dry treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art gym, a world class, five-star restaurant, a dynamic nightlife experience, chic event spaces and a private, 40-slip marina with a private dock master and sand barge. The property fronts Biscayne Bay and offers spectacular views of the downtown Miami skyline, the Atlantic Ocean and South Beach. Marcel Wanders, a world-famous design star and an original member of the influential Droog collective in the Netherlands, has conceived of the hotel as Sleeping Beauty’s castle. Guests will step into a magical world, entering a leisurely oasis of gardens that leads to the spectacular interior. The gardens, designed as indoor/outdoor living spaces, feature comfortable seating areas, an outdoor “sand” bar, a hanging chandelier above the glamorous pool, and cabanas for all ages, including tented play spaces with a sandbox and bouncy toys in the children’s area.
