Formerly Mondrian Los Angeles debuts a new identity on the iconic Sunset Strip

The building formerly known as the Mondrian Los Angeles is now entering a new era and introducing The Valorian Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton, honouring its cultural legacy with it’s relaunch and drawing eyes as it sits right at the center of the iconic Sunset Boulevard.

Originally brought to life in 1996 as the Mondrian, this hotel set the standard of trendsetting luxury for tastemakers and travellers with its undeniable elements of design. Since 2018, the building has undergone major renovations to reinforce its status along the Sunset Strip as a modern West Hollywood icon.

 “We are preserving the edge, creativity and sense of occasion that made this property iconic, while elevating the guest experience through a refined new identity, Hilton’s global platform, and the introduction of White Rabbit Sky Lounge for the next era of West Hollywood,” said the lifestyle operating group of Davidson Hospitality Group, and will join Curio Collection by Hilton

The hotel will now be operated by Pivot, a lifestyle operating group of Davidson Hospitality Group. They will also be joining the Curio Collection by Hilton; a global portfolio of distinctive hotels designed for guests to immerse themselves in a one-of-a-kind experience.

This collaboration will allow the hotel to keep its relevance as it would strongly benefit from Hilton’s global scale and platform. Being a part of Hilton’s program will help the Valorian appeal to a broader audience, bringing in more global travellers and locals.

The hotel features guest rooms and suites with breathtaking views of the Sunset Strip, Hollywood Hills and the Downtown Los Angeles skyline. The Valorian is also home to the signature dining destination, Casa Madera and the reintroduced rooftop experience, the White Rabbit Sky Lounge.

With a dramatic 30-foot entry doorway and its bold interior layers with rich color, texture and atmospheric lighting, the hotel delivers a surreal-meets-sophisticated experience. The space guests walk into is intended to intrigue and prompt exploration through the living work of art.

Guest bedrooms and suites have a modern aesthetic that came with the redesign. The suites were designed thoughtfully for guests who have longer stays in L.A., special occasions or even just a brief West Hollywood weekend visit.

Reimagined White Rabbit Sky Lounge

Formerly known as the acclaimed SkyBar is now being debuted as the White Rabbit Sky Lounge. Placed high above the hustle and bustle, the lounge gives guests the perfect view of both Downtown L.A. and the Hollywood Hills, paired with an elevated atmosphere and dynamic day-to-night programming. The area perfectly transitions from a sunlit lounge to a late-night spirit.

A curated cocktail list and seasonal activations will be debuting throughout the spring, which will feature inventive creations. The Valorian is hoping that this will set up the atmosphere for the perfect social destination with a fresh aesthetic for the summer.
