South Beach in Style: Preview Pics of Mondrian South Beach

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 1100 West Ave [map], Miami Beach, FL, United States, 33139-4760

The eagerly awaited Mondrian South Beach--we had a tour of the unfinished version back in November 2007, and we've been enthusiastically waiting for the real opening--is set to open fully soon.

In the meantime, HotelChatter tipster Michael told us about a bunch of lobby and sample guest bedroom pictures available from designer Marcel Wanders online and we just had to show you. It really does look something special.

Starting in the lobby, there's a pretty spectacular spiral staircase, as pictured above. Move into the guest rooms and you can't miss the unique design features that really make it look different to other hotels.

We love the big sweeping spaces of the bedroom and if you take a look at the same room from the other angle, we're pretty excited by its funky bath tub too.

There's no official opening date being publicized soon and no online reservations open yet, but May or June are looking likely.

[UPDATE: The hotel is set to open in December 2008 for the annual Art Basel Art Fair.]

Two more photos after the jump.

    I'm not saying it doesn't look nice, but for some reason this reminds me of the sets of those Philadelphia Cream Cheese commercials with the angels.

    The real opening date

    When do you think the real opening date is?  It says early December 2008 on Mondrian's website (http://www.mondriansouthbeach.com/).  But Marcel Wanders might want to update his website cause it says opening in December 2007 on there (http://www.marcelwanders.nl/wanders/pdf/Mondrian-South-Beach.pdf). ;-P

    where does it say december 2008 on the mondrian website? i am seeing early 2008.

    i toured this place in november and i was really excited by it. the views of biscayne bay are killer.

    it's definitely for the wealthy but i am kind of in love with the whimsical design.

    i highly doubt it will open next month but maybe late summer...

    Mondrian South Beach Opening December 2008

    Oh my bad.  I saw Opening December 2008 on Yahoo! Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/104412/Check-Out-These-Luxury-Hotels-Debuts).  I drive by the construction site that is Mondrian South Beach every day on my way to and from work.  There is no way that it's opening any time in May.  More like the end of the summer if they're lucky.  Hopefully they won't make the same mistake as Gansevoort South do a soft opening while they are still under major construction.
