SPiN at The Mondrian: The Ping Pong Trend Heads West
All of a sudden table tennis is hotter than hot. Backed by Susan Sarandon and a team of owners, the SPiN ping pong club in New York City has become so successful that it has spawned a reality television show. Now the concept is expanding, finding a new home at the Mondrian in Los Angeles in the hotel's ADCB lounge this summer.SPiN New York was created by owners Franck Raharinosy, Andrew Gordon and Jonathan Bricklin along with Sarandon and has an interior dreamed up by renowned designer Todd Oldham. SPiN has taken the New York social scene by storm with a mix of sport, design, and entertainment, since its launch in 2009. "SPiN New York has brought a fun, new element to the city's nightlife that has refreshed the scene and gained a very loyal following, and we are excited to transport that unique experience to the LA market with this exclusive partnership," said Kim Walker, Senior Vice President and Creative Director, Morgans Hotel Group.
SPiN Hollywood at Mondrian will mark one of SPiN's first expansions outside of New York. Hotel guests and visitors can enjoy tournaments, celebrity events ,cocktails and food over a casual game of table tennis. The concept first debuted at Mondrian for one night only during Oscar Week 2010 luring in Jamie Foxx and other notables. Next up is SPiN Milwaukee opening in August 2010.
