Mondrian is set to debut in Greater China in Q4 2023 with the opening of Mondrian Hong Kong, a 324-key hotel overlooking Victoria Harbour.

Celebrating the city’s people and culture, the property will tap into the beating pulse of the Tsim Sha Tsui district, offering guests a thriving arts and cultural scene on their doorstep. Its immersive, gallery-like interiors feel at home amid this landscape, with designs from the wild imagination of Karin Krautgartner.

Elsewhere, stories of creative minds further abound in a Joyce Wang-designed, sophisticated nose-to-tail steakhouse by Italian culinary philosopher and maverick Dario Cecchini. The hotel will also feature one of the first bars in Asia to use the cutting-edge Tayer cocktail workstation system developed by two award-winning bartenders, as well as a 40th floor rooftop space hosting cultural events, performative innovations and unexpected collaborations.

“Entering the Chinese market is an incredible milestone in our expansion, and as with all Mondrian locations globally, community and culture will be essential,” says Chadi Farhat, Brand COO for Mondrian at Ennismore. “Introducing the brand through personal stories and a variety of perspectives is a powerful way to foster a meaningful connection with the local community and engage travellers with an experience that is truly inspiring.”

General Manager Dirk Dalichau adds: “Inspired By People isn’t just sentiment for us; it’s a promise and an ethos we live and breathe. There is no doubt in my mind the more diversity the better – race, culture, sex, gender and religion. We are a better team for it. So, it’s a massive philosophy for us. I find endless inspiration in people and their stories. It is a privilege to help bring such an iconic lifestyle brand to this part of the world and to help shape the Mondrian brand to a mostly Asian audience.

“The vision is the hotel as progressive and imaginative community, a place to connect, have fun, be challenged, experiment and come away inspired,” Dalichau continues. “I couldn’t be more excited about the timing. Travel and business is beginning to boom again, Hong Kong is buzzing, Kowloon is transforming, the centre of gravity is shifting, the whole West Kowloon Cultural District is amazing and the nightlife is truly 24-7.”

Tony Yeung, Chief Executive Officer, Peterson Group, comments: “With the completion of multiple landmark projects in the West Kowloon, Hong Kong’s culture scene is set to be redefined. To align with this new future, Mondrian seeks to create a new hospitality experience for the global traveller that is rich in culture and surprises. By collaborating with local and international designers, artists and chefs, Mondrian Hong Kong aims to stimulate one’s senses to fulfil the whole journey for those who are seeking a new perspective of this exciting city.”
