The Bar/Lounge at Mondrian South Beach Hotel

"Beyond lie a large bar and lounge, an Asia de Cuba restaurant, and the pool area—by far the most successful design element"

"From baroque seaweed patterns on the walls to oversize furnishings, this contemporary castle has designers and trendsetters dropping by to see what all the fuss is about"

"The indoor/indoor Mondrian Bar and weekend pool parties draw well-heeled singles"

"The Sunset Lounge joins the usual Morgans Hotel Group staples: an Asia de Cuba restaurant and an Agua spa"

"Things to find: hammocks, lounge areas, secret pathways, and “kissing corners"

"All the hip arty types are slumming it at the Broken Shaker bar, in the Freehand hostel"

"At the poolside, visiting parents can soak up the sun on lounge pillows and hammocks or in a private cabana while their offspring splash in the whimsical kiddie pool and play area"

"The Sunset lounge, a lively outpost on the lobby level, is open 11 am-2 am, and with a DJ on Friday and Saturday, it's the meeting place for parties"
