5. this trip was great since it was a surprise trip the hotel was the key the mondrian is one of the coolest places ever the decor alone designed by marcel wenders is the bomb when I saw it online I had to stay its expensive well sure at christmas and new year looming but it was worth it the look and poolside atmosphere it was like a vacation in san tropez, or the riveria the rooms were spectacular you have to go online and view this place for real I could on and on but it was soooo cool and the staff were friendly they had nightlife in the main lobby and top shelf dining and a kiosk in the lobby were you order ben&jerrys; ice cream for a yr for 299.
