Four Seasons Hotel New YorkvsMandarin Oriental, New York
Only four blocks apart, both Mandarin Oriental, New York and Four Seasons Hotel New York are located in Midtown near Columbus Circle, with views of Central Park. While Mandarin Oriental’s Hong Kong inspired design aesthetic exudes lush opulence, think velvet and silk; the Four Seasons tops even its other properties with its contemporary luxe lobby and common areas. Ultimately, the Four Season’s rooms seem a bit more business-like than the dreamy quarters at Mandarin Oriental.
