History

The company is generally credited with inventing the Boutique Hotel in 1984 when it opened Morgans Hotel in New York.

The Delano Las Vegas opened in 2014 as a rebranding of THEhotel at Mandalay Bay, in partnership with MGM Resorts International.[1][2]

In 2012 it was announced that Morgans would be overhauling Sea Containers House in London to be launched as a Mondrian Hotel in 2014. The design of the hotel was awarded to the Tom Dixon (industrial designer) led Design Research Studio.[3] The hotel, Mondrian London At Sea Containers, opened on 30 September 2014.[4]

In the spring and summer of 2013, Morgans became the bone of contention in a proxy war between OTK Associates, a, investment vehicle for the Olshan and Taubman real estate interests, and Yucaipa, the investment alter ego of Ron Burkle.

In 2014, Morgans Hotel Group opened its first hotel in Turkey on 18 November which is located in an historical building, Eski Balıklı Han. 10 Karaköy A Morgans Original is located in Karaköy, city’s cultural and historical center. The architectural work of the historical Büyük Balıklı Han has been undertaken by award-winning architect Sinan Kafadar – METEKS Group which used to be a hospital in 19th century. Tuğba Doğan and Evren Basık has been assigned as the art consultants of the hotel.

In May 2016, SBE Entertainment Group agreed to acquire Morgans Hotel Group. The combined company would own or operate 20 hotels, including properties under SBE's flagship SLS brand.[5]
