They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. At Mandarin Oriental, New York, they don’t need a second chance.
When the elevator opens onto the 35th floor lobby, you will genuinely feel as though your head is in the clouds. There may be no better view of the legendary Manhattan skyline anywhere in New York. With floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s the perfect showcase for views of all the skyscrapers, plus Central Park and the Hudson River.
If you can manage to tear yourself from the view, be sure and take a look up to the ceiling in the lobby, which should be on the list of amazing attractions: a massive, spectacular chandelier made from Waterford Crystal.
Situated in the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle, which interestingly enough is the point where all distances to and from Manhattan are measured, Mandarin Oriental, New York is literally at the center of it all. The modern Asian-influenced décor resonates throughout the hotel, and the impeccable service never disappoints.
Once you’re done giving your eyes a workout it will be time for the rest of your body, so explore the state-of-the art workout facility and 75-foot lap pool, then rejuvenate and feel as if you are floating in midair at the bi-level spa, featuring a VIP Spa Suite for two, a Thai-yoga room, and holistic treatments with the freshest ingredients.
While New York is a Mecca of fine cuisine, you won’t be but an elevator ride away from the outstanding Asiate, offering contemporary, Asian-influenced gourmet cuisine. Then, walk off your dinner with a stop in Central Park, a green oasis located directly across the street, or take an easy stroll to Broadway and catch a show.
Whether you are an out-of-town guest or just seeking a spectacular getaway in your own backyard, with a combination of award-winning service, decadent luxury and the ideal city location in the world’s most exciting city, Mandarin Oriental, New York is an absolute must.
