Joie de Vivre Hospitality will manage the former Mondrian Scottsdale, the group’s first property outside the state of California, when the 195-key hotel relaunches this fall following a major renovation.

The Mondrian will be renamed as Hotel Theodore by new owner Sydell Group. Formerly GFI Development Co., Sydell is the owner and developer of Ace Hotel New York and Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. Sydell recently purchased Theodore for an undisclosed sum.

Joie de Vivre currently operates 34 boutique hotels in California exclusively, and the Scottsdale property will be the group’s first beyond the state.

Sydell and Joie de Vivre will focus renovation and rebranding plans on embracing the property’s Southwestern roots in order to give the hotel a true sense of place. The relaunched hotel will feature a new restaurant concept which opens on to Scottsdale’s greenbelt and the Scottsdale Performing Arts Center, two indoor/outdoor bars, 5,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, two swimming pools and pool bar.
