Located on fashionable West Avenue, the Mondrian South Beach is a hip and stylish enclave just minutes from the heart of downtown South Beach. With spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami, a quiet and private mood pervades the extraordinary interiors, designed by the visionary Marcel Wanders. The lobby’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide a thrilling backdrop to the shiny, slick and wondrous décor, complete with an ornate floating black staircase and neoclassical pillars.

The facilities

Like much of Miami, the Mondrian’s pool is a stylish focal point that’s perfect for sunsets and sunbathing. Landscaped gardens with hammocks and a labyrinthine network of trails, secret passages and hidden “kissing corners” are a unique stamp that set it apart from the crowd. The Agua spa at Mondrian is a 4,000 square-foot gem with six plush treatment rooms, a private, garden-view terrace and decadent, signature milk and honey treatments.

The rooms

The 355 spacious studio rooms (the smallest measures in at 523 square-feet) are light and airy. All feature unique Dutch Delft tile and custom wall-coverings, Egyptian cotton linens, flatscreen HD TVs and deluxe showers with Malin + Goetz products. Many rooms come with private balconies with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay.
