When it comes to luxury hotels, Mondrian is one of the best brands in the business. London’s own outlet was located on the Southbank before the building was rebranded several years ago. Now, Shoreditch is the new site for the Mondrian- and it’s getting a fantastic new restaurant and bar.
Laurel’s On The Roof will be located, fittingly, on the roof of the hotel, and promises to be the most laid back restaurant and bar in the capital, an all-day drinking and dining hotspot with glamour and style at its heart.
Laurel’s is inspired by 1970s California: Hollywood and West Coast escapism is the name of the game here. Its namesake is Laurel Canyon, a mountainous neighbourhood in Hollywood Hills. There’ll be a plethora of Californian inspired dishes and cocktails to choose from, from dawn until long past dusk. Everything is aimed at relaxation, from lounge seating to low hanging rattan chandeliers.

You’ll be able to sip away to the sounds of Laurel’s fab playlist, with an emphasis on funk, ambient soul and electric beats. There’s plenty of references in the music mix to some of California’s most famous musical acts like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Brian Wilson. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, there’ll also be live DJ sets to accompany you through the evening and really make the night electric.
