Lifestyle hospitality company, Ennismore, has confirmed plans to bring its Mondrian brand to the UAE.
Construction has already begun on Mondrian Abu Dhabi which is being developed in collaboration with Al Hazoom Group and is scheduled to open in 2024.
Designed by award-winning interior architect Tristan Du Plessis, Mondrian Abu Dhabi will feature 221 rooms and 80 serviced apartments.
Additionally, it will feature six food and beverage venues, a ballroom, four meeting rooms, a spa, a swimming pool, a kid’s club, a retail area, and a fitness area too.
The property will include a lagoon that will also feature an infinity pool design, with lounges and daybeds set along the water’s edge.
Located in Abu Dhabi’s downtown area close to landmarks such as The Corniche and Abu Dhabi Mall, the hotel looks out over both Reem Island and Maryah Island.
Chadi Farhat, brand chief operating officer of Mondrian at Ennismore, said, “Mondrian Abu Dhabi will undoubtedly become one of the most sought-after destinations for lifestyle, hospitality, culinary and mixology experiences for locals and travellers alike. With an imaginative design by Tristan Du Pleiss, Mondrian Abu Dhabi will certainly be a feast for the senses.”
Ennismore’s other brands in the UAE include SLS Dubai, Hyde Dubai and 25hours Hotel One Central – as well as the upcoming opening of SO/ Uptown Dubai.
Earlier this month, Ennismore signed its first standalone branded residences project in Dubai. It reached an agreement with real estate developer Roya Lifestyle Development to build the SLS Residences The Palm Dubai. Scheduled to open in 2026, it will be housed in a newly built low-rise development, offering approximately 113 luxurious branded residences comprising two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments. The property’s ground floor will have 13 flagship residences (two-four bedrooms), each with its own private garden. Ennismore added that SLS Residences The Palm Dubai would be undertaking “collaborations with leading developers, architects, designers, and chefs” to replicate the experience from its SLS hotels.
Mondrian Abu Dhabi, once open, will join seven other operational Mondrian properties worldwide in locations such as Los Angeles, Miami, New York, London, Doha, Mexico City and Seoul.
Other locations worldwide where Mondrian properties have been announced include Singapore, Ibiza, Bordeaux, Cannes, and Australia’s Gold Coast, among others.
