Mondrian London opens on the South Bank
Mondrian London at Sea Containers has opened its doors on London’s South Bank. Designed by Design Research Studio under the creative direction of Tom Dixon, the iconic building features 359 guestrooms and suites with riverside views.
Embracing the building’s heritage, Morgans Hotel Group’s first Mondrian branded hotel outside the US showcases a number of nautical features. This includes a dramatic, handcrafted copper hull sweeping from the entrance through the lobby into the heart of Mondrian London, the restaurant named Sea Containers. The eatery is headed by New York’s Seamus Mullen, alongside Executive Chef Luke Rayment, who will offer fresh, seasonally considered cuisine that is sustainable, carefully sourced and perfectly prepared.
Mondrian London will provide additions to the eclectic South Bank scene, with the launch of an exclusive rooftop bar in mid October, offering views across London, as well as Dandelyan, a seasonal cocktail bar overseen by Ryan Chetiyawardana, AKA Mr Lyan. With a sumptuous green marble bar and dramatic views of the Thames, Dandelyan will serve refined interpretations of classic beverages, taking inspiration from the botanical wilds of the British countryside and around the world.
Taking full advantage of the hotel’s unique location, many of the design-led 359 guestrooms and suites offer river and city views. With the golden age of transatlantic ship travel as a departure point and ocean liner cabins as his inspiration, Dixon created fitted rooms, incorporating metallic and brass throughout. In addition, each guestroom features bespoke furniture from Tom Dixon and a one-off piece of art adorns the wall.
The hotel also debuts agua Bathhouse & Spa at Mondrian London, the bold new spa playground concept. The spa offers six spacious treatment suites and Spa & Glamour lounges. A fully curated menu of signature treatments and collaborations from brands such as Soveral, Estelle & Thild, Dr Jackson’s Natural Products, Glamglow, de mamiel and Ciaté will be available.
A 56-seat cinema is also on site at Mondrian London, available for events during the week. Weekends will see Curzon occupy the space, showing the latest leading arthouse cinematic hits for guests and the public.
The ground floor of Mondrian London will also host the new Lazarides Editions gallery, presenting a stimulating schedule of exclusive artist book launches, bespoke exhibitions, and independent screenings in addition to a revolving curation of notable print editions. Lazarides Editions will provide an ideal location for iconic works on paper, timeless luxury gifts and provocative, multi-disciplinary, in-store collaborations.
