HotelChatter || PM Linkage: Refurbished Rooms at Mondrian Hotel Los Angeles

This is a snapshot that HotelChatter reader Michael, yes he goes by only one name, grabbed for us from the Morgans Hotel Group website featuring a refurbished room at the Mondrian Hotel Los Angeles which as we all know, had a very bad year last year.

But these new rooms have have a touch of fantastical. Check out that crazy mirror and the orange "holder." And you can't beat new furniture not covered in Britney Spears' vomit.

Yet while we knew the hotel would be getting some botox, when we clicked the visual tour on the website, we didn't see any pics of these new rooms. Nor do they mention the refurbishment anywhere on the website. So we don't know if all the rooms or done or just some of them.

Anyone out there know what's going on? Let us know.
