Mandarin Oriental New York

/ Travel / Hotels /

The competition is tough in the Big Apple. Even the big shots that come to town have to seriously prove their worth to stand among the veterans, such as the Peninsula Hotel, St. Regis and Ritz Carltons.

Located at the Time Warner Towers at Columbus Circle, The Mandarin Oriental New York has done just what they intended. After three years of catering to luxury hounds, they have proved to be one of the best.

Looking for one of the best spas in Manhattan? Look no further than the 35^th floor of the tower. The spa shares the 35^th floor with the hotel lobby, however neither area is lacking space. The superb spa facilities take up 14,500 square feet of tranquility, serenity, and.... an amethyst crystal steam room! The spa's blend of eastern rituals are perfectly blended with modern, western influences, such as the 75ft lap pool surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, which feature panoramic views of Central Park.

The accommodations are nothing short of beautiful. Continuing the blend of Asia meets West, rooms and suites at the Mandarin Oriental New York exude palatial luxury. With fine silks and luxurious cottons, exotic woods and unbelievable views, it's certain many people give themselves only half-days of city touring.

The Mandarin Oriental New York has proven to be the epitome of modern luxury.
