Mondrian Scottsdale

Mondrian Scottsdale, designed by rising international star Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, is an inventive vision of modern glamour for a new generation of sophisticated global travelers. Drawing his inspiration from the Garden of Eden, Noriega-Ortiz has created a unique sybaritic retreat offering rest, rejuvenation, fun and entertainment in a vibrantly pleasure-driven environment. His thoughtful interpretation reflects the youthful spirit of the thriving city of Scottsdale, while celebrating the senses with luxury, indulgence, and amusement. Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, this “Urban Resort” is a sheltered oasis that belies its surroundings. From the street, only walls and lush gardens are visible. Through the iconic 25 foot Mondrian “gates” fashioned entirely from tropical bougainvillea, visitors enter the hotel via a sweeping entranceway carpeted by a virtual red carpet of stenciled leaves. Guests are then greeted with a cooling fountain and cascading double-height white drapes as they enter the lobby. The coy evocation of the Garden of Eden is further conjured in the lobby by antique mirrors, a long serpentine bench supported by an imaginative large baobab tree and motifs of clouds and cherubs in addition to the discreet appearance of a scaled-up image of Dürer’s Adam and Eve. Pink lighting illuminating the mirrored reception desk hint at the guilty pleasures found within.
