A part of the multi-use Time Warner Center development, the hotel opened in December 2003. In addition to its 248 guestrooms and suites, the hotel provides services for 64 residences.[2] The Mandarin Oriental is located more than 280feet above ground in the north tower of the Deutsche Bank Center (formerly Time Warner Center), a 2800000square feet mixed-use development at Columbus Circle. The Mandarin Oriental has received many national and international awards, and operates one of only two Forbes Five-Star spas in Manhattan.[3] [4]

Hotel

The Mandarin Oriental is located more than 280feet above ground in the north tower of the Deutsche Bank Center (formerly Time Warner Center), a 2800000square feet mixed-use development at Columbus Circle. The AAA Five-Diamond awarded hotel contains 202 guestrooms and 46 suites on floors 35 to 54 of the Time Warner Center with views of Central Park and the Hudson River.[5]

Vivienne Tam, a noted New York fashion designer, designed the hotel’s signature fan, which is displayed in the hotel lobby. Dale Chihuly created two glass pieces installed in the hotel. The first is a chandelier, created in a unique collaboration with Waterford Crystal, weighing approximately 2,100 pounds and comprising 683 hand blown glass and crystal pieces. The second installation, located in the 35th floor lobby, is Chihuly’s first foray into glass gardens.

The hotel closed temporarily in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, reopening in April 2021.[6] Reliance Industries bought a majority stake in the Mandarin Oriental New York in January 2022 for $98 million.[7] [8] Since 2013, the General Manager of Mandarin Oriental New York has been Susanne Hatje.[9]
