Mondrian London changes name
Mondrian London has been renamed Sea Containers London after a change of management.
The 359-room South Bank hotel, now managed by Lore Group, says the new name pays ‘homage to the history of the iconic building in which the hotel sits’.
It was previously managed by hospitality group sbe.
While the original design will largely remain the same following the transition, there will be a number of interior updates.
Billy Skelli-Cohen, CEO Lore Group, said: "We’re very excited about this new era and next step in the hotel’s story. Our incredible hotel team will continue to offer guests an unrivalled experience at Sea Containers London. We have lots of initiatives in the pipeline and look forward to welcoming all our guests in 2019 and beyond."
Sea Containers London will continue to house riverside eatery, Sea Containers Restaurant, as well as the Dandelyan bar from Ryan Chetiyawardana (AKA Mr Lyan), a rooftop bar, 12th Knot (formally Rumpus Room), featuring an outdoor terrace with Thames views.
The spa, agua, and Curzon cinema will continue to operate within the hotel as normal.
