I have stayed at the best hotels in the world, and some of the worst. I think I have seen it all, At least I thought I did until I walked in to our guest room at the Mondrian Hotel, in West Hollywood, earlier today.
There was an object in the room that looked like a mirror but doubled as a TV, It is totally bizarre but I love it, Eliot thinks it’s stupid, He would rather have a larger flat screen TV.
The TV inside the mirror is a Sony 42-inch unit, It took us a while to figure out how the TV got inside the mirror. We discovered that it was the brainchild of Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, the interior designer responsible for the new look at the hotel. It was very clever to take an ordinary TV and turn it into an art piece.
I guess you have to be a lover of contemporary installations to appreciate it, At the very least, it shows great energy and positive thinking.
TV Mirror? Ingenious !!! Guess who finally is in southern India? Doing it with OAT with 11 other people. In day 4 of 17. Got it on a last minute booking. Our 9th trip with them. Have you and Elliott made it back to India? Say hey to the Fab 5 travelers!
