Morgans Hotel Group
MORGANS HOTEL GROUP
In 1984, Morgans Hotel Group developed its first property, Morgans on Madison Avenue in New York City. An instant hit, the hotel revolutionised the hospitality industry with the introduction of the "Boutique Hotel" concept, characterised by personalised service and home-away-from-home ambiance in a setting of timeless elegance.
In 1995, Morgans Hotel Group opened the hugely well-received Delano, set directly on Miami Beach, and completely refurbished the hotel in 2006. Located in the heart of one of America’s most energised gateway cities, Delano represents the next generation of "Urban Resort" – where the notions of the "Indoor/Outdoor Lobby" and the idea of "Simple Chic" were initiated.
The Shore Club, managed by Morgans Hotel Group, is a spectacular oceanside resort also located in Miami Beach. With landscaping inspired by the rich, intense, Matisse–inspired colours of the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, The Shore Club is redefining cool on Miami’s South Beach.
Morgans Hotel Group arrived in Los Angeles in 1996, with the opening of Mondrian, located on the world-famous Sunset Boulevard. Mondrian presents the consummate expression of a balancing act between apparent contradictions – entertainment and spirituality, cutting-edge style and simplicity, fantasy and reality.
The opening of St Martins Lane in London in late 1999 represented Morgans Hotel Group’s first foray across the Atlantic. Received with great fanfare and both critical and customer acclaim, St Martins Lane is an utterly original urban hotel that takes the Morgans Hotel Group concept of "Hotel as Theatre" to a new level to provide its guests with a singularly magical, exciting and visceral experience.
In addition to St Martins Lane, Morgans Hotel Group opened Sanderson in London’s stylish Soho district. This first of its kind "Urban Spa" is a magnificent landmark property with a spectacularly landscaped interior courtyard that opens to the sky and is surrounded by guestrooms.
Hudson, in New York City, delivers a potent combination of urban adventure and daredevil design to arguably the most jaded city in the world, giving Manhattan something even it has never seen before.
Clift, Morgans Hotel Group’s first San Francisco property, is a template-breaking tour de force that promises to change forever the notion of what it means to be a luxury hotel. Elegant and sophisticated yet in a totally modern manner, Clift takes conventional hotel philosophy and turns it on its head.
In January 2007, Morgans Hotel Group opened Mondrian Scottsdale, a world-class "Urban Resort" in downtown Scottsdale, Arizona, marking the first extension of the Mondrian brand. Located in the heart of Scottsdale, it offers the unique experience of a dynamic “Urban Resort”, combined with a serene oasis in the desert.
With Mondrian South Beach, Morgans Hotel Group’s first hotel residences, MHG makes a pioneering move away from the bustle of Miami Beach’s oceanfront tourist centre to the fashionable, growing neighbourhood of Biscayne Bay. The hotel residences are built on a prime waterfront location with views of the bay, ocean and downtown.
In February 2007, MHG and an equity partner acquired the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and related assets. MHG has other property transactions in various stages of completion including projects in Miami Beach, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada, and continues to vigorously pursue its strategy of developing unique properties at various price points in international gateway cities in the United States, Europe, South America, Asia and around the world.
