Rising from the upper floors of the Time Warner Center, Mandarin Oriental, New York occupies one of Manhattan's most commanding positions. The lobby arrives on the 35th floor, and from the moment the elevator doors open, the city reshapes itself beneath you. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Central Park in sweeping panorama, and the effect is immediate: you are no longer moving through New York but suspended quietly above it, watching its restless energy from a place of remarkable stillness.
The hotel's 244 rooms and suites carry that same transparency, with expansive windows oriented toward either Central Park or the Hudson River. Interiors are sleek and warm, drawing on an understated palette that keeps the focus where it belongs: on the light shifting across the skyline at every hour. Many suites offer deep soaking tubs positioned directly beside the glass, turning a simple bath into something closer to a private viewing experience. The Presidential Suite spans the building's corner, offering dual exposures that take in both the green expanse of the park and the glittering towers stretching south toward Midtown. Throughout, the design is confident and restrained, a deliberate counterweight to the spectacle just beyond the glass.
Dining and drinking here orbit that same sense of elevation. MO Lounge serves as the hotel's social anchor, a sophisticated space on the 35th floor where cocktails arrive alongside views that stretch for miles. The Lobby Lounge offers afternoon tea and lighter fare in a setting that feels both polished and unhurried. For more intimate occasions, the hotel's private dining experiences and event spaces provide flexible configurations with the skyline as a constant backdrop. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental occupies its own floor, offering a menu of treatments rooted in the brand's Eastern wellness heritage. The facility includes a vitality pool, relaxation lounges, and an amethyst crystal steam room. The fitness center, also perched high above the city, provides a workout experience where treadmill runs unfold against a canvas of rooftops and river.
The property's position at Columbus Circle places guests at the intersection of several of Manhattan's most compelling neighborhoods. Central Park is steps away, its southwestern entrance practically at the hotel's feet. Lincoln Center, home to the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, and New York City Ballet, sits just blocks north. The shops and restaurants of the Time Warner Center surround the building's lower floors, while the galleries of the Upper West Side and the energy of Midtown radiate outward in every direction. It is a location that rewards both ambition and aimlessness in equal measure.
What lingers about Mandarin Oriental, New York is the particular quality of its quiet. This is not a hotel that whispers or retreats. It simply occupies its perch with a kind of earned composure, offering a version of the city that feels both close and contemplative. The skyline is always there, framed and luminous, and the hours here move at a pace that belongs entirely to you.

What we love about this stay
There's something disarming about a hotel that doesn't compete with its city but simply frames it. Perched above Columbus Circle, the Mandarin Oriental treats New York like a living installation — Central Park's green canopy by day, Manhattan's electric grid by night, all through floor-to-ceiling glass that makes your room feel less like a retreat and more like a private observation deck. The mood is refined without being rigid, the kind of place where quiet luxury doesn't announce itself. That 75-foot indoor pool, genuinely rare in Manhattan, feels like a secret kept in plain sight — a sliver of calm suspended above one of the world's loudest neighborhoods. It's a stay that stays with you precisely because it never tries too hard.

Lovely, and had the most wonderful time! It is a beautiful hotel and an excellent location. We walked everywhere and took the subway when needed. Many restaurants and Nordstroms plus a mall all right at the hotel. It was safe, beautiful, and the room large and comfy. No complaints, and the views were incredible over Central Park.

I stayed here for a weekend getaway after all the holiday tourists were gone and NYC took a breather. The hotel is becoming a bit outdated with wear and tear in the furnishings and in the room. Because this is an expensive five star hotel, this should not be the case. The in-room dining was, while expectedly expensive, subpar. The main restaurant was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel and more resembled a lobby lounge (the restaurant is appropriately named the MO Lounge). The toiletries and bedding however were top notch. The only reason for paying such a high price here compared to other five star hotels in NYC is the view. We had an amazing view of Central Park which makes you want to gaze out the window 24 hours/day. We could have paid 1/2 the price at Loews Regency Hotel (which is the same level of luxury) but wouldn't of had this view. If you don't care for the view, stay at the Loews and save a few hundred dollars. Its also convenient to have a bunch of restaurants and a Whole Foods in the lobby of the building which allows you to go downstairs and get whatever fruit, beverages or snacks you want to have in your room. I am not sure I would stay here again and would actually give MO a 4.5 star rating.

This was an amazing hotel to stay in for my work trip. I wish I got to enjoy the hotel longer! I want to specifically call out 3 individuals: Dustin at the front desk was such a joy! We had a hiccup with the first room I was staying in, and he was efficient in making it right, and helping me move to a new room seamlessly. Just a very kind and hospitable person all around. John at the restaurant was the best breakfast server. He has such an infectious, positive energy, and made my breakfast experience one to remember. He is such a gem to the MO experience and I want him to be recognized! Lastly Alex in security - left my kindle behind in one of the rooms. He promptly handled finding my item, was super gracious on the phone, and handled overnighting my kindle back to me for my next trip coming up this weekend. This hotel has spectacular rooms, comfy beds, chic interior, phenomenal food in the lounge, beautiful views of the river and Central Park, and lovely people. I hope I get to stay again soon!!!

I had a two-night urban getaway and it was wonderful. The location was convenient. The room was spacious, clean and thoughtfully designed with Marvelous views. What truly stood out was the genuineness and attentiveness of the team. From Check in with Dream, to the Lounge experience with Mark, Martin, Nathaniel and Richard, every interaction was warm and welcoming. The Bar experience with Aya and Shakill was a Highlight- from the creative drinks to the thoughtful recommendations and the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it was a memorable stay defined by care, professionalism, and authentic warmth. Thank you to the Mandarin Oriental NY team for making my visit so special.

I booked Mandarin Oriental Manhattan through the Fine Hotels program at American Express, which came with many perks (e.g., noon check in, 4pm late check out, $100 hotel credit, upgraded room, breakfast for two). My daughter checked in and she was welcomed by name with an upgraded, Hudson River view, high floor room, jasmine tea and fruit. The breakfast for two (up to $90) was a great way to start the day. The dining room has incredible views and wide selection of healthy, savory and healthy breakfast options. The nightly turn down service with slippers, mats and treats by our bed made us feel extra special. High end amenities from the Shops at Columbus Circle (Diptyque lotion, chocolates by La Maison du Chocolat Paris). Spacious shower, double sinks, tub overlooking Hudson (with bath salts), and plush robes added to the five star experience. The Christmas decorations including letters to Santa and afternoon hot chocolate bar made our trip even more "sweet." We appreciated being able to get a snack at nearby Whole Foods Market or banana pudding at Magnolia. A five story Nordstrom is across the street too. We walked to Broadway, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Plaza, and of course Central Park (which is across the street). Last but not least, they were offering a special - third night free, which made this hotel a little more affordable, especially right before Christmas and New Year's. This hotel stay was definitely an early Christmas present for my two daughters and me!
