Concierge.com's insider take:

Off-camera Hollywood types, New Yorkers, and $30,000-a-year millionaires can still be found flirting and hooking up at this 194-room property since its 2007 transformation from the hip-and-sexy James Hotel to the Mondrian Scottsdale. The basic layout is the same, too, though the Mondrian's all-white-is-good color scheme has taken over the public spaces. Let's not forget the addition of the requisite Skybar, either, filled with guests sporting $300-plus jeans and coiffed hair. A guest key will get you past the line, and also into the Red Bar (guests only, at night), located next to the lobby. An outpost of Jeffrey Chodorow's Asia de Cuba is here as well, with its Latin-meets-Asian dishes and family-style dining. Studios (also called Garden Rooms) are the way to go if you don't plan on spending much time in your room, while one-bedroom terrace suites are only steps from the pool. Hit the pool early and snag one of the daybeds or a cabana, which surprisingly are available on a first-come basis. The inside bar scene goes strong until last call at 2 a.m., so if that's your scene, this is your hotel.
