With 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.
Starting at $400,000, Mondrian South Beach consists of 342 studios, one and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. It will combine the most exhilarating design elements of a fantasy modern getaway with all the comforts and conveniences of home. Facilities will include a state-of-the-art spa and gym, a world class, five-star restaurant, a dynamic nightlife experience, stylish event spaces and private VIP boat slips for yachting and boating trips.
The residences may be bought or rented, offering guests the flexibility of a vacation or an extended stay, and providing apartment owners with potential income between visits.
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.
RESIDENCES
Wanders will extend the existing curvilinear building to form a semicircular sculptural structure, in which the rooms resemble theatrical boxes overlooking the gardens below, “so that everyone has the best seat in the house,” as the designer says. The loft-like residences are flooded with light and flow seamlessly between bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and balcony, unified with the same ceramic floor inside and out. Using a sophisticated color palette of white, gold, browns, grays, blues and black, Wanders plans to create romantic interiors with welcoming, open living areas and a generous sense of space.
A designer who prefers never to repeat himself, Wanders will furnish the hotel with original pieces from his design studio, where he produces everything from lighting to floors, chairs, tables and sofas. Mondrian South Beach is one of several interior projects he has completed. “Unlike product design, interiors are about theater, leading you from one idea to the next and the next,” he says. “You need to breathe life into a space, which is a fascinating process for me.”
