A must-see on every trendy tourist's to-do list, this rooftop bar is still able to keep 'em coming (and waiting in line) after all these years. To go with the 2009 rehaul of the Mondrian hotel (including newly furnished rooms, an eye-popping, orange-hued lobby bar by the name of ADCB and an updated Asia de Cuba), the ivy-covered patio still offers some of the best views--and people-watching--in town. The swishy yet simple open-air thatched hut has been updated with cushy gold and yellow furnishings (handmade in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico), while the teak-lined deck and pool is equipped for…
Decent until the bouncer ruined it.

Was looking forward to this place because some friends from New York have stayed at the Mondrian.
When we arrived I was a little shocked at the less than desirable entrance but was overtaken by the swing set and violet velvet lounge chair. While waiting on line for the front desk, noticed the flowing and curious decor. The restrooms signs were not posted and had to ask for their location. Luckily I did, because there were no signs on any of the doors and didnt want to see any male bums (well not that early in the evening *wink*).
Once we got to the room, there was a fantasy magical faiy tale mirror that was really a television and the rest of the room just gave the I stepped into a wonderland of beauty [for a hotel room].
Most of our party had arrived so we headed to the Skybar. The evening was going well but the music was sub par. The bouncer overheard us and suggested we talk to the DJ. (We thought really? Most DJ's don't care to hear for requests.) Headed to the DJ and boy, was the bouncer wrong. The DJ was highly offended and gave serious attitude. I returned to the bouncer to apprise him of his faux pas only to be treated as a second class citizen, he wouldnt even listen. Def an F for customer service.
Sadly, we thought we were being down to earth whilst his ego was the size of Jupiter. The bouncer wanted to show us his "power." I hadnt even ordered a drink yet and we were being escorted out. Bottom line, nice chill spot ruined by egotistical bouncers.
Good luck with your visit here.
- Pros: Nice vibe
- Cons: Obnoxious bouncers (particularly one with dreads)
