Morgan Hotel Group hired Dutch design star Marcel Wanders to basically crank it up to 11 at the Mondrian. The theme's inspired by Sleeping Beauty's castle – columns carved like giant table legs, a 'floating' staircase and spectacular bay views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Upstairs the design whimsy continues with plush rooms sporting Delft tiles with beach scenes instead of windmills, and chandelier-like rainfall showers.
