It is through collaboration with local and international artists, designers, and chefs that we create experiences for global travellers that are rich in culture and surprises,” said Gaurav Bhushan, Co-CEO, Ennismore. “Yet the brilliance of the Mondrian brand is in its allure as a destination for locals as well as travellers. This is where the power of lifestyle hospitality lies － the ability to invite an energizing mix of the community and world beyond － celebrating the local roots of the destination while allowing an infusion of global ideas to inform further and enrich the hotel experience.”

Mondrian’s Master Alchemist Set to Take Creative Cocktails
Hyperlocal and into Inspired New Realms
Mondrian Hong Kong’s flagship bar Avoca, located on the 38th floor of the hotel. At Mondrian Hong Kong, we’re inspired. By people. People, like our new Head of Bars, the multi-award-winning local legend Joe Villanueva, who has set out to redefine the art of mixology with creatively breathtaking new cocktails inspired by some of Hong Kong’s most loved dishes and iconic local flavours. Villanueva, a 20-year veteran of Hong Kong’s ever-evolving bar scene, now brings his passion, experience, and verve to Avoca.
Villanueva will be in front and centre of Avoca. Not only has he created a locally inspired cocktail menu that is a work of art, but he will also be rolling up his sleeves and mixing the drinks to the sounds of top DJs and cultural programming. Expect a sophisticated vibe and a celebration of elevated bar culture, complemented by curated food and vibrant energy. A social meeting place celebrating elevated bar culture.
“We took local delicacies and turned them into cocktails. Savoury cocktails are a big trend now and I’m very keen on this. Mondrian prioritises localisation, and so I have taken that to the next level. For the LGM Mary, we macerated tequila blanco with black bean chili oil from Lao Gan Ma and mixed it with a clear Bloody Mary mix that is bursting with flavour. The Sesame and Peanut Butter Sour is based on a much-loved street food favourite, which has become our take on the whiskey sour. If you look at the Clay Pot Negroni, it’s inspired by the classic Clay Pot Rice dish in Hong Kong,” said Villanueva.
