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.

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.
