[:en]As all travels, you start with where you’re staying. Hence my journey through the European fashion weeks for men begins at my hotel in London (which also marked the beginning for the fashion month). Choosing a hotel in London is not an easy task, I’d say rather impossible, especially during fashion week when everything even semi affordable is booked in advance. The bottom line is: you get what you pay for. I’ve stayed in so many hotels in London that despite a great location and nice looking pictures on their website are down right crappy with mould on the walls and what not. As for Mondrian London, it is not the cheapest option out there, but for sure my favorite one so far in London.
My room had a lovely river view over the Thames and was spacious equipped with views over St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Bridge, etc., I literally sat in that window soaking it in for ages. Mondrian London is within walking distance of landmarks such as Tate Modern, Royal Festival Hall, the National and Globe theatres, as well as Borough Market and the London Eye. Despite that I didn’t have time for my visit to Tate Modern this time as my schedule was a bit too hectic.
One thing haunting me through fashion weeks has been Shawn Mendes. I think he’s been stalking me, or then it’s the other way around, but whatever city I was in during fashion weeks for men, he was there. It began here in London where we stayed on the same floor at Mondrian London and the funny part is that the ever so loyal fangirls (and fanboys) outside the hotel thought I was part of his entourage as they asked me if I could take them to his room. I courteously said he was busy at the moment. I might however have knocked on every door on the floor during my nights there, but no luck so far…
The staff was so very helpful and I really felt like I got the 5 star treatment in a hotel known for mixing contemporary design with the history of the building itself. And until my photographer had finished shooting I was starving so those fruits went down pretty fast. Thankfully there are plenty of options where to dine nearby and I treated myself to a nightly visit to Tesco just to get me sweet tooth quota filled as I love those British biscuits.
Here’s a new friend I had with me on the road. It’s a new addition to the Gucci Guilty family and this is truly something else. Born out of a special collaboration between creative director Alessandro Michele and master perfumer Alberto Morillas. Created using a particular blend with a structure that remains unchanged from the first time it is applied to the skin. Leather accord and goldenwood are custom-mixed with natural extract of the Nootka Cypress, selected especially for Gucci Guilty Absolute. The resulting scent features ultra-dry woody notes. I felt more masculine than ever wearing it, haha.
As always I do bring along my own essentials as I don’t trust even 5-star hotels have stuff good enough for me. To add a touch of London I brought along a Molton Brown Body Wash, but for those hot days I also took with me some new products from the Swedish company Recipe for Men which are really worth checking out as they bring the brewery concept into beauty and are all natural. Quite intriguing if you ask me and darn, still feel so masculine while typing this. Of course Rituals is always with me as an essential wherever I go and their body butter is such a night time treat to apply before going to bed.
If you’ve had the unpleasant experience of waking up with me, you’ll know it’s an impossible task to make me utter anything else than a grunt for two hours. If I wake at 8 am, I might be mentally awake at around 10 am, if you’re lucky. This comfy bed made me want to stay in it for quite some time, but my schedule basically forced me up at 7 am every day.
There’s nothing to wake you up like a hot shower though. I know some prefer it cold, but that would just basically give me a heart attack and wouldn’t further the cause of me waking up. I do love rainforest showers and don’t know how people even showered before they were introduced some years ago. As for nudity, this is as far as I go, although my photographer has some way more nude images on his rolls… But that’s for my eyes only, if he doesn’t want to make a quick buck that is. As for Mondrian London? Thumbs up for first class service, amazing rooms and a great location close to basically everything. If I’ll stay here again? Most certainly. Up next are outfit posts as well as a recap of London Fashion Week Men’s, so keep your eyes open.
Photographer: Ira Giorgetti[:sv]Alla reseskildringar börjar med var man bor, åtminstone mina. Därför börjar denna skildring av min modemånad på samtliga modeveckor för män i Europa i mitt hotell i London (som också var först på tur av modeveckorna). Att välja ett hotel i London är inte det lättaste, utan snarare nästintill mardrömslikt. Jag har bott på fina adresser där rummen sett fina ut på hemsidan, men när man väl kommit fram har väggarna varit täckta med mögel och Gud vet vad. I London får man vad man betalar för helt enkelt och vill man bo lite bättre får man hosta upp en slant. Dock får man vara vaksam var man hostar upp sina slantar. Man ska inte betala för mycket om man nu inte tänkt barrikadera in sig på rummet under hela sin vistelse. Mondrian London är inte det billigaste alternativet, men helt klart min favorit i London hittills.
Mitt rum hade en härlig vy över Themsen och riktigt rymligt enligt brittiska mått mätt. Med vyer över St Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, med mera, så satt jag där och insöp atmosfären (med BBC Radio 1 i bakgrunden) en god stund. Mondrian London är inom gångavstånd till kända landmärken som Tate Modern, Royal Festival Hall, National och Globe-teatrarna, såväl som Borough Market och London Eye. Trots närheten till Tate Modern hade jag inte möjlighet att ta mig dit denna gång på grund av mitt hektiska schema.
Något som förföljde mig under alla modeveckor i Europa var fenomenet Shawn Mendes. Jag tror garanterat att han stalkade mig eller så var det vice versa, men detaljerna spelar inte så stor roll. Varje stad jag var i, befann han sig också i och på Mondrian London bodde vi på samma våningsplan. Alla små fans utanför hotellet trodde lustigt nog att jag var en del av hans entourage och då de frågade mig om jag kunde släppa in dem för att träffa honom svarade jag artigt att han var upptagen för tillfället. Att jag sen själv knackade på varje dörr i korridoren nattetid är en annan femma…
Personalen var som sig bör på ett femstjärnigt hotell. De var hjälpsamma, trevliga och tillmötesgående oavsett önskemål och allt detta utan att fjäska. Jag tycker inte om fjäsk. Punkt. Hotellet kombinerar nutida design, men tar tillvara på arkitekturen i den gamla hamnbyggnaden den huserar i och är sannerligen en upplevelse i sig. Förrän min fotograf var klar med att plåta allt var jag svulten (problem med blodsocker helt klart), men som tur är finns många restauranger i närheten och även hotellet huserar en alldeles utmärkt sådan. Själv gick jag dock till Tesco och köpte på mig mängder av engelska småkakor då det är något de är särskilt duktiga på.
Jag hade även en ny kompis med mig på resan. Det är senaste tillägget till Gucci Guilty-familjen och det här är olikt något annat jag testat hittills. Född ur ett speciellt samarbete mellan Alessandro Michele och parfymören Alberto Morillas skapade de en blandning med en struktur som inte ändras efter att den fått kontakt med din hud. Här snackar vi läder och tuffa tag blandat med naturliga extrakt från Nootkacypressen som valts ut speciellt för Gucci Guilty Absolute. Allt detta låter pretentiöst, men det är en riktigt maskulin doft med supertorra träiga noter. Jag känner mig rentav maskulin bara genom att skriva detta, än mer när jag har den på mig.
Som vanligt tar jag med mig min egen hudvårdsregim då jag inte litar på att ens 5-stjärniga hotell har produkter som är bra nog för mig. För att få med lite Londonkänsla tog jag med mig Body Wash från Molton Brown, men för de varma dagarna tog jag också med mig några nyheter från svenska Recipe for Men och deras nylanserade Raw Naturals-serie som hämtar inspiration från bryggerier och produkterna är, som namnet förtäljer, naturliga utan tillsatser. Machotemat fortsätter alltså, haha. Rituals är en trogen och prisvärd följeslagare och deras body butter är en fröjd att applicera innan man går och lägger sig.
Om du haft det tvivelaktiga nöjet att vakna vid min sida så vet du att det är omöjligt att få mig att tala de första två timmarna. På sin höjd får du några grymtanden som svar och även om jag vaknar kring 8 så är jag inte vaken mentalt förrän klockan 10, på en bra dag. Denna himmelska säng hade jag velat spendera bra mycket längre tid än jag gjorde, men mitt hektiska schema tvingade upp mig klockan 7 varje dag oavsett.
Jag är en person som måste duscha för att kunna vakna ordentligt. Varmt. Jag vet att vissa föredrar en kall dusch (vilket i mitt fall blir en kalldusch), men själv får jag snarare en hjärtinfarkt av det och skippar den biten. Förrän dessa regnskogsduschar introducerades något år sedan vet jag faktiskt inte hur man duschade. Det är så skönt att bara stå där och vakna till. Det här är för övrigt så naket det blir här på bloggen, även om min fotograf nog har både en och annan bild på sin kamera. Men de är enbart för mig, om han inte känner för att tjäna en snabb hacka då. Mondrian London då? Båda tummarna upp för förstklassig service, härliga rum och ett läge som är nära till så gott som allt. Om jag kommer att stanna här igen? Garanterat. Håll utkik efter outfitinlägg och reportage från själva modevisningarna som följer i dagarna!

June 29, 2017 at 5:52 pmThomas you’re so funny! I can picture you knocking on every door on your floor! Lol. This hotel is definitely fit for a king like yourself. That bed immediately made me sleepy and I wanted to fall into it! I’m not a morning person either and a bed like that would make me even more so a sleepy head in the morning. Hope you’re enjoying your travel! Can’t wait for the recap on the fashion you see!

June 29, 2017 at 9:00 pmI must confess I’m a bit of a fan myself from Shawn Mendes, love his music and he’s cute. The hotel looks comfortable and a view on the Themes is always nice. And oehhh, Gucci Guilty, me like! Can’t wait for all your stories and fashion, Charissa

June 30, 2017 at 5:31 amWow the Mondrian looked first class indeed! I love the view and the clean interior of the hotel. I wish I could run into Shawn Mendez. Hahaha, I have seen and serviced quite a bit of celebrities while living here in LA. It’s always so fun!
Christine Kong
June 30, 2017 at 7:39 amThere is a Mondrian in LA here and it’s a beautiful hotel so I am not surprised that there is one in London that is just as fabulous. The view from your room is so amazing. I love that extra large window and seating at the sill so you can take in the views. The room is so spacious and that marble bathroom with amazing waterfall shower looks so relaxing. I can’t believe you were on the same floor as Shawn Mendes! How exciting!!! Everything about this hotel is what I look for when staying at places and I would definitely stay here if I were to come to London. xoxo, Christine

June 30, 2017 at 10:55 amLove the Mondrian London Hotel. Love the minimal and stylish interior design of the hotel and the room looks so spacious! I’ve noticed that most of the hotels in London have tiny rooms, and it is such a luxury to have spacious rooms in London! That waterfall shower is amazing!!! Definitely a good way to relax before bed time!

June 30, 2017 at 1:34 pmI couldn’t stop laughing about Shawn Mendes. I watched your Instagram stories and saw the stalking situation there and thought it was hilarious. I would’ve been pretty excited to stay in the same hotel as him. He seems really cool – but I may have been more excited to find out I stayed in the same hotel as you, because you’re obviously way cooler 😉 I love the look of this hotel, and the bed sounds like the place to be haha. That view also sounds spectacular. One day I’ll visit London … one day!
Britta
June 30, 2017 at 2:25 pmSikke et lækkert hotel! Udsigten er helt fantastisk!
Næste gang jeg er I London vil jeg helt sikkert bo her! Indretningen er meget stilren og rolig som passer perfekt til afslapning efter en hektisk dag i byen.
Jeg ser frem til at se mere fra London! Ser ud til du havde en fantastisk tur!
Jordan Chapman
June 30, 2017 at 4:19 pmI’ve been dying to stay at the Mondrian on one of my London trips and hey, I may just have to in the future (maybe when Shawn Mendes is in town again)! This hotel is such a beauty and I pass it all the time when I’m in the city! I can’t wait to see your other LFWM coverage, I’m sure it’s going to be epic!

July 1, 2017 at 3:19 amDear Tommy,
HOLD UP. I have to comment about Shawn Mendes First. dang bud, you should have knocked on that door and hooked yourself up and hooked your Dom up. LOL. LUCKY YOU! And shame on Shawn for not formally introducing himself, haha. Anyways let’s get into this awesome post. I missed your posts! I’m so happy that you are back stronger than ever with an amazing post about this beautiful hotel. These photos need to be framed and put in a magazine. I swear the one of you in the bed laying down reminds me of Lorde’s album cover, lol. Anyways I loved reading about your experience at this hotel. Please try and get some rest when your Shawn Mendes fashion week world tour is over okay.
Love, Dom

I love these kind of posts, you can make want to get on a plain and visit all of the places you blog about. The skin care products look and sounds good. I’ll have to share them with my boyfriend. He’s been looking for new skin care products. Have you tried any of the Art of Shaving products?

July 1, 2017 at 7:21 amI think your hotel reviews are the best! I agree with you, choosing right hotel (especially in London) is a tough mission. Most of them have nothing in common with their pictures on accommodation web-sites. I think you chose a great hotel. Love your room and the view. Also that part of the story about Shawn Mendes is so funny 🙂

July 1, 2017 at 7:57 amLove the Mondrian brand, they always produce the sleek, modern and sophisticated hotels no matter what city. You would LOVE the Mondrian on Sunset, and the rooftop pool deck and bar is a crowd favorite. The London location looks clean and chic. The rain shower head is my personal favorite too, it is what I have at home and oh so heavenly. How clever you addressed the small group of fans regarding Shawn and I want to know more about this knocking on every door on your floor story. Look forward to read more about your fashion month adventure.

I am completely delighted, amazed and totally fascinated by this account of your stay at the Mondrian Hotel in London. I have really missed your posts and I looked forward to seeing and hearing a glimpse of your experiences. Between Shawn Mendes, the enormous and gorgeous view outside the hotel, the description of your beauty/ skin care routine it’s all just fabulous! I just wish I was there and I can’t wait to hear and see more!! You are most definitely being well taken care of at the Mondrian Hotel and I’m really happy to hear it !
Love,

July 2, 2017 at 1:13 amWelcome back Thomas!! I hope you enjoyed all the Fashion Weeks you went to 🙂 The Mondrian London looks like a fabulous place to stay and I also appreciate it when hotel staff are very hospitable and nice because in my opinion that is just as important as the room itself. That’s crazy Shawn Mendes was staying at the same hotel haha! And omg I love Gucci Guilty, I use the Intense one and it’s my absolute favorite 🙂 Can’t wait to read more Fashion Week posts!
Candace
July 2, 2017 at 5:01 amIt’s always nice to attend events and have a hotel that’s so convenient to everything, such as Mondrian London. And I agree, you definitely get what you pay for and that includes amenities, service and everything else. I am dying laughing at your Shawn Mendes story. It must have been fate that you kept running into him, haha!

Mondrian Hotel London looks fabulous and thank you so much for such a detailed review and stunning captures of their hotel room! If I travel to London next time, I would definitely consider Mondrian Hotel. And how classy is that Gucci Guilty bottle? Oh and that Shawn Mendes, he was lucky to stay in the same hotel with you in my option :). By the way someone is still wondering why you weren’t able to take a picture with him haha. Can’t wait to read more of your fashion week’s posts!!

July 2, 2017 at 6:50 pmI can’t believe I still haven’t been to London and I’m freaking 27! Actually I did a few hour stop over at Gatwick (which doesn’t count) but the next time I’m actually in town, I’ll need to check out the Mondrian. I love how the fans thought you were part of Shawn Mendes’ entourage – too funny!
The view looks amazing and I’m totally a sucker for a roomy, modern hotel room. Hope the rest of London was as amazing as the hotel xx

July 2, 2017 at 7:42 pmOh yeah, I know that struggle so well. Find a good hotel during the fashion week can be quite a deal. However, I’d say you found a perfect one with a rather nice location and very cosy at the same time. And you had a great working area, which is important for us, bloggers. All in all, I hope it was a pleasant experience so far.

July 2, 2017 at 8:58 pmDear Thomas, I love your hotel reviews, as they always include the beauty products section 🙂 Mondrian truly looks like an excellent option, both for the looks of its bedroom and bathroom, and for the amazing view you could enjoy from there. This new fragrance by Gucci actually looks very masculine as you say. Its dark color suggests it’s super dry and with smoked wood notes. How fun about Shawn Mendes! Loves and loves, Valeria
Vanessa Berlin
July 2, 2017 at 9:15 pmWow, this is great. I find it awesome that you attended the fashion week for men, must have been amazing! I couldn’t agree more, I remember going with my family to London a few years ago, truly impossible to find a place to stay. But I can say that you got a really nice location and it looks great. If I go to London anytime soon, I’ll definetely take this hotel into consideration, hopefully Shawn Mendes will be there! Thank you for sharing your experience, I enjoyed reading about it!

London is my list to visit and of course to see during FW season. It is so crazy that Shawn Mendes stays in same places, maybe it is a sign.

July 6, 2017 at 4:11 amMondrian London looks so nice Thomas. I’ve never been to London but will keep this hotel in mind. I love the view from your window and that rain forest shower looks divine. I was going to say the last shot is a bit special today and then I read the paragraph about the photographer. Haha I hope Ira had fun.
And lastly, could we talk about how you stayed in the same hotel as Shawn Mendes??? Like shut up! I would have stalked the crap out of him and knocked on every door until I find his room lol!!!

July 6, 2017 at 6:13 amMondrian London looks like a great place to stay I’m loving that mirror lighting as sometimes even the best hotels don’t have descent lighting to do your makeup with not that you would have that issue.
Sorry to say maybe I’m too old or not with the times but I have no idea who Shawn Mendes is? I might just have to look this up lol.I know what your saying about bathroom amenities this so important, I love Molton Brown too absolutely Devine.Your photographer did such a great job of the shots I love the one of you at the window sill so moody,the sleeping one is cheeky and the shower one is really classy and shows of the great bathroom.

July 7, 2017 at 1:42 amYou picked an amazing place to stay! The Mondrian London looks like one hell of a place. The interior of the room, that view, and bathroom goals for sure!!!!!! It’s also insane that you were on the same floor as Shawn Mendes. Too bad you didn’t get a casual run in with him. It would have been nice to think he possibly would have serenaded you hehe. Hope you’re enjoying fashion week!!!!

That happened to me during fashion week with a Jonas brother. Can’t remember which because I can’t tell them apart lol. That Gucci bottle looked like alcohol for a second and I had to double take on whose blog I was on. Hope you’re having the best time. <3

I’ve never been to London, but I totally know what you’re talking about. Hotels in major european cities can be super expensive if they are good! But the Mondrian seems to have the perfect balance. This room is beautiful and that rainforest shower is to die for!
Also, lucky you for staying on the same floor as Shawn! I think he was chasing you hahaha so funny!
Thanks for sharing friend!
