Mondrian Los Angeles

The room was clean and nicely designed, but outside the door the experience was pretty mid. This is my fourth stay at Mondrian. I am typing this review from the cafe at the Andaz across the road because the Mondrian cafe didn’t have the ingredients for an almond milk mocha. That pretty much sums up the experience. The pool is cute. Poolside service was weird. One person asks you what you want and then someone else comes up to check they wrote your order correctly. I was reminded three times that the pool closes at 6. There are also lots of rules for the pool about age and opening times. After six it turns into a bar that requires photo ID to enter, which is weird if you’re in your 50s and staying at the hotel. My friend didn’t have a photo ID that the security guard recognised - we are from Australia - and so they wouldn’t let us go into the bar … at the hotel I was staying in. It was embarrassing and came off as “we actually don’t want you here”, even though we paid a daily resort fee. Front desk were no help. We ended up perched at a bar in the restaurant. Same venue, ten metres to the left and no issue with ID. The foyer was such a vibe in the 90s and 2010’s. People everywhere. It was buzzing. Now it feels like a really nice shop selling replica furniture. Even the art on the walls is for sale. A replica Mondrian print “updated” by a local artist sits pride of place in the entry. It’s an incredible metaphor, putting a price tag on a memory of something that was once so cutting edge and original. A wonderful hotel foyer welcomes you to the experience you’ve paid for. This one isn’t wonderful. It’s a gift shop with an elevator and lack of soul to match. It’s all just so mid. Even checkout was weird. Dismissed rather than farewelled, the receptionist was typing as she said “Enjoy your day” and didn’t even look up. But the room was clean. If you’ve stayed at Mondrian in the past you’ll remember the white cloud bed and the orange accents in your room from past makeovers. They all sit like Stark reminders of former glory, but this is a memory best not revisited.

the front desk solomon & adrian are the best. their service was superb, above and beyond!!! a whole vibe. slayyyyyyyyyyyyy

This hotel is clean, the staff is great, and the food is delicious. I would highly recommend it to all. We had great accommodations. The restaurant had great food and the staff extremely friendly.

Solomon was great, he helped me with everything I needed for my trip. He made sure I was good with whatever I needed and gave grate tourists information. 10/10 all around. Go check in with him

After a service fall off during COVID, Mondrian stands out as a leading party hotel with major strides in all areas. From the front desk’s attentive and professional service (Salomon stands out) to servers who created the vibe at the pool (Alex and Vinnie), and just an overall attention to high quality service I am returning to Mondrian after a nearly two year hiatus. This party hotel has made an impressive comeback.
