The Pool at Mondrian South Beach Hotel

"And while the indoor spaces are swell, it's the outdoor pool area that really must be seen, especially at sundown"

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

"The pool scene here is totally happening, packed with hot bodies and European stunners year-round"

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

"Pool cabanas, with Louis XVI chairs and piles of cushions, look like stage sets, and rooms have a monochrome palette and the odd splash of yellow in the form of a Droog (Wanders’s design firm) armchair or sofa"

"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"

"A "desirable", "posh" clientele indulge in "cool", "sophisticated" luxury at this "trendy" space designed by Marcel Wanders; the "exquisite" room decor (highlighted by custom Dutch Delft tiles and whimsical images of a signature "big-eyed girl") is "sexy bordering on naughty", and "outstanding" staffers oversee a "gorgeous" pool and spa, not to mention The Restaurant, which serves artisanal drinks and locally sourced fare to the "hip and with it" at a dramatic 20-ft"

"For a pool scene that’s off the beaten path, find your spot at The Mondrian’s bow-shaped aquatic haven"

"The pool is equally magical, with a labyrinthine garden, Queen of Hearts–worthy red thrones and towering hedges that curve into cabanas"

"For sunset views over downtown Miami, the Mondrian’s pool offers inspired lounging"
