It is all very well to put lotus flowers on your plates but if the room (overpriced!) is not functional, I'd rather not have them. There is not nearly enough cupboard and drawer space, the sofa has no backrest so you cannot sit on it and read and there is only one chair. Most disappointing though is the lobby -... more

The Mandarin NYC is in the midst of it all in midtown Manhattan. It's also "in the mist." Let me explain: while on business in NY, I spent several days at the Mandarin--including Saturday and Sunday rehearsals for an early Monday morning pitch. With some downtime, I was able to explore all the great restaurants in the Time Warner Center... more

We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental for 2 nights from May 8th 09, this is simply the best hotel experience you can imagine, words alone cannot explain our sheet delight with the standards of this hotel, the attentive and superbly professional staff and the amazing location just across from Central Park on the Columbus Circle. Book this hotel and you... more

From the moment I stepped out of the cab on Friday afternoon the Mandarin staff made me feel like I was in Shangri-La!! The Suite was magnificent and the view beyond compare. All my special requirements were in place and continued to be so for my entire visit. Everyone at the Mandarin made me feel like one of the family.... more

The day we arrived they gave us complimentary champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries (a personal favourite) which was a lovely touch. The suite was lovely with a far better... more

Visited the MO bar for a quiet drink and dinner. Fernando was our waiter and performed exceptional customer service. My colleague requested an item that was not on the menu and Fernando immediately offered to check with the Chef and indicated it would not be a problem. The timing, quality and professionalism of the staff in the bar were memorable.... more

I love the Mandarin NYC. If I could afford to live here, I would. The service, the rooms, the spa, the workout facilities: the whole place is phenomenal. My room service meal was one of the better meals I have had in my life. The staff is amazing, kind, and helpful. The only downside is the price, but you get... more

Great hotel - very expensive - is it worth it in these times!? Paid almost $3,000 per night for 1 suite & 1 connected room - great accomodations. Everything about the hotel is great - wonderful view (GWB from 1 room, Central Park sideways from another), everything was perfect. All employees are extremely accomodating, couldn'nt ask for more. Also great... more
