If you want the best views of Manhattan directly facing Central Park, this is the place. You will very much be in the midst of all the action. However, if you’re not keen on heights or want a quiet, tucked away stay, you’ll prefer elsewhere.
Stay at Mandarin Oriental, New York

Reach for the stars from this elevated property, watching Manhattan pulsate like a vibrant maze. From your coveted suite on the 54th floor, the streets below look miniscule. A global buzz exudes throughout the cityscape.This awe-inspiring vantage is made even sweeter, by thoughtful amenities courtesy of Mandarin Oriental. Scenic workouts in the gym, for instance, make for a zestful start, followed by Asian-themed treats in the tea lounge and spa. Let the scent of magenta lead you to the Office, where mixologists serve creative cocktails and theatrical plates await, rounded off by a slice of sumptuous New York skyline.
Location
The hotel calls the Time Warner Centre by Columbus Circle home, spanning the 35th to 54th floors. The Upper West Side and Central Park are a stone’s throw away. The Theatre District is a 10-minute walk. Six subway lines can also be accessed nearby.
Rooms
The vistas here are exceptional all around, though stays overlooking Central Park do take the edge over Hudson River. Meanwhile, interiors comprise floor-to-ceiling windows, plush furnishings and Asian-inspired decor, naturally.
Who is it for
While children are welcome and suites can accommodate families, the vibe at Mandarin Oriental is very grown-up. Hence, those with little ones may prefer elsewhere. Twosomes, on the other hand, are rather spoiled.
Facilities & activities
Leisure in the sky is a very real concept, and incredibly executed here via a spa, fitness centre and indoor lap pool - a novelty in NYC. An upscale restaurant and two suave cocktails joints also feature, all with alluring shots of the city beyond.
