Accor Debuts Mondrian Shoreditch

Accor has expanded its lifestyle network with the debut of its new flagship, Mondrian Shoreditch.

Occupying the former Curtain Hotel in London’s hip Shoreditch neighborhood, the 120-room property, owned by the Reuben Brothers, has been given a complete makeover, which includes a lively collection of restaurants and bars. The original Curtain Members’ Club—home to a rooftop bar and pool called Altitude—has now been boosted with a co-working space, while a new café and cocktail bar called Christina’s Shoreditch serves an all-day menu only using ingredients from local providers, start-ups and brands with social impact. In addition, chef Dani García has unveiled the first London outpost of BiBo, his popular Spanish tapas brand. 

In a bid to highlight its lifestyle approach to hospitality, the hotel also has plans to team up with local personalities and brands to present various pop-ups and live performances in The Screening Room, a private event space and bar.
