Interior designer Kelly Wearstler took the original building, owned by 1930s silent film star Lilian Gesh, and turned it into a 19th century Parisian bordello. Black hallways, mirrored dressers and the scarlet and crimson lobby set the tone. Each floor has a different color scheme, and rooms offer one-of-a-kind antique furniture.

    Embark on an ultra-glamorous getaway to the Mondrian Hotel located in the heart of Los Angeles. This newly re-designed City of Angels hotspot is not only a home away from home for the hippest of jet setters, but its trendy Sky Bar has even the locals flocking through its edgy "parallel universe" themed lobby doors. The newly re-done boutique hotel truly captures the excitement of the city with quirky furniture, offbeat colors, and inspiration from Los Angeles' natural scenery and skyline. On-site fusion restaurant Asia de Cuba combines Asian flavors and Latino spice with eclectic decor. Giant terracotta pots create an Alice in Wonderland effect surrounding the restaurant's outdoor tables, and its white-on-white interior is chic and spaceship-like all at once. For night time entertainment look no further than up, to the smoking hot Sky Bar perched atop the hotel. The "floating" Sky Bar's night scene looks straight out of an episode of The Hills, complete with pool, lounge furniture, and the twinkling LA skyline. The cool vibe continues in the Mondrian's 237 guest rooms and suites, all of which are filled with sustainable bamboo floors and a decor scheme that can only be described as surrealism meets Hollywood glamour. So the next time you are looking to escape in a major way, book a room at the Mondrian Hotel, and get ready to dine, party, and sleep in style. Check out my SLIDESHOW to learn even more about the Mondrian Hotel.
