The Mondrian Los Angeles was redesigned at the end of last year by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, one of the most stylish and influential interior designers today. Noriega-Ortiz has designed projects for celebrities like Lenny Kravitz and P-Diddy, both who surely appreciated his perspective on modern design – clean lines and simple patterns. The newly designed Mondrian hotel lobby, lounge, and guest rooms all speak to his philosophy; he marries modern and classical pieces to create an experience no one will soon forget. Part of the Morgans Hotel Group, the Mondrian was first designed by none other than Philippe Starck. In fact, some of Starck's original work has been left in tact; Noriega-Ortiz had such high regard for Starck that he stated, “”I didn't want to eradicate Philippe Starck's original vision, I wanted to build on it; I wanted to enhance it.”
Though I appreciate the wild and whimsical nature of hotels like the SLS, the Mondrian's holds the key to my modern heart. Mondrian Hotel – Los Angeles 8440 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069 (323) 650-8999
