The Mandarin Oriental New York is an impressive hotel in an impressive city; this hotel wows us, even by the standards of New York opulence. The world-class Mandarin Oriental New York offers the brand's unique trademark design - internationally renowned contemporary furniture with a touch of classical chinese - and it complements the city superbly. From the view of the sparkling city outside through gleaming glass windows, to the walls of the steam room, everything at the Mandarin glitters in tasteful shades of another favorite color of the hotel's designers, gold. And that's about how you'll have to pay for it, since this kind of luxury doesn't come cheap. Prices start at roughly $600 USD a night, and range to $3000 or more a night for the Stay and Spa package. But hey, it's New York, and the time isn't cheap, so why should the time of your life be cheap?
And if the time of your life involves fine dining (and doesn't it for everyone?) then you're in luck here too. Some of New York's chicest restaurants are housed in the hotel, including Asiate, a curious but enticing fusion of French and Japanese cuisine with views of the city around and Cental Park. But don't take our word on the beauty of the view, take this one:
"...The best view of any restaurant in the city. The food is also spectacular." ~ The Daily Telegraph, 2006
Overall, the reasons for making this our hotel spotlight are clear: the design is a short throw away from heaven, and with first class service, gourmet eats, and a sublime spa, this resort in the city is a no-brainer. So go and make sure you have time to step out of everyday life and relish the beautiful views, enjoy the excellent dining, and marvel at the ethereal light flowing through the windows in the morning. The Mandarin Oriental, until further notice, is our favorite stay in one of the greatest hotel cities on Earth, and that's no light compliment.
