Morgans Hotel Group Plans to Open Delano Hotels in Mexico and Turkey

Manhattanites have been in a tizzy about the latest hotel to open in New York's SoHo. The Mondrian SoHo is the fourth Manhattan property for Morgans Hotel Group, whose Morgan Hotel-- opened in 1984-- is said to be the country's first true boutique hotel. Premiering today, the Mondrian SoHo promises eye-catching interiors from designer Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, inspired by Jean Coucteau’s 1946 film La Belle et le Bête. Now we've just gotten word about more expansion plans for Morgans Hotel Group. Three new hotels are in the pipeline, two of which will carry the Delano brand. Slated for 2013, the Delano resorts will open in Cabo San Lucas and on the Aegean Sea in Turkey. The third property will open in 2014 in Manhattan near the High Line park.
