sbe, the leading lifestyle hospitality company that develops, manages and operates award-winning hospitality venues globally, is thrilled to announce the opening of Mondrian Park Avenue in New York this fall. Initially conceived as an SLS designed by Philippe Starck with a culinary concept by José Andrés, the project evolved after sbe's acquisition of Morgans Hotel Group in late 2016, and a renewed focus was placed on bringing the legacy of the iconic Mondrian brand to new markets around the world.

The highly-anticipated Mondrian Park Avenue will feature a 120-seat Cleo, sbe's culinary concept helmed by Chef Danny Elmaleh. The Cleo brand has received numerous accolades including being named one of OpenTable's "50 hottest restaurants in the U.S." With locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami, this will be the first Cleo to open in New Yorkand fifth for the brand overall. Cleo draws from a variety of influences and showcases a modern twist on the ingredients and cultures of the eastern and southern Mediterranean.

The hotel will also boast 189 guest rooms and suites as well as 7,000 square feet of meeting and event space including a private rooftop meeting room. Originally a 15-story office building built in 1918, five floors were added during the hotel conversion elevating the property to 20 stories tall.
