I've stayed in this hotel many times over the years. I like the chain in general and have stayed at their hotels in Miami and Washington DC, but this one is my favorite. It is consistently wonderful and to me epitomizes New York chic (in an Asian kinda way). The design is impeccable. I've stayed in both single rooms and... more

Three nights here were enough to convince us this is a good hotel but not a great one. Like most NYC 5-star establishments it’s incredibly expensive and not great value for money. On the plus side, staff here is right on top of the game and could not be faulted on service delivery. Our room on the 54th (top) floor... more

Hi, My wife and I stayed in the Madarin New York for three days prior to a Caribbean Cruise. The hotel has some good features but lacked the atmospher of other NY hotels around Christmas, like the waldorfe. The lobby bar has some good views and the restaurant was good. Also a nice room but let down badly by its... more

When you ask our kids what did they like most in New York, they will say "our hotel" as their favorite memory. It was outstanding. The rooms are beautiful, the view (central park) extraordinary, the pool a great experience, the service perfect... we were absolutely delighted with our stay. If you can afford it, it is worth the money. We... more

We had a great room overlooking Central Park. The staff were very good especially the doormen who were good humoured and very helpful. However we had to have maintenance 4 times to our room with niggling problems and technical assistance twice. In addition they charge for Internet use when you already paying a $1000 per night for the room! more

I stayed at The Mandarin Oriental NY on Christmas day 2009. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel. I had requested to check in at 1:00PM and I was able to do so. Upon check in they asked if I would like any tea sent to my room. I asked for white-hot chocolate and it was... more

My now fiancee and I stayed here for a weekend (12/18-12/20) and it was amazing. The highlights: + Big bed + Great bathroom. Had a bath and separate shower. The shower had one of those rainforest nozzles in addition to a normal nozzle. Everything in the bathroom was marble. They also had the toilet in a separate room, which was... more

The NYC MO is my favorite of the top-notch hotels in NY. The rooms begin on 39 so the views of Central Park or the Hudson River are very nice. No other top NY hotel offers views to match. Also, the height makes the rooms very quiet for NYC. Asiate restaurant is quite good--modelled after Tetsuya in Sydney. The rooms... more

There are two key points for me about this hotel: 1. It is quite expensive and 2. Everything, for us, in the hotel was pretty much perfect. It has the most fantastic location - just beside Central Park. If you like running (or just walking), you'll love it here! We ran every day before breakfast. When you come back in... more
