The Bar/Lounge at Mandarin Oriental, New York

"The hotel 's own MoBar and Lobby Lounge are always up for a good time"

"But be sure to save time for the Mandarin's other offerings: tea in the lobby lounge, which has a sensational park view; laps in the 75-foot pool, with glass walls overlooking the Hudson; and the 14,500-square-foot spa, an oasis of Asian serenity that makes you forget you're in a city at all"

"The Lobby Lounge acts as the hotel's in-house bar area and is a luxuriously cozy place to, well, lounge"

"The bar and restaurants offer the same view and can be quite a scene in the evening"

" Along with traditional treatment rooms, the spa also has an amethyst crystal steam room, mineral water vitality pool, his and hers relaxation lounges, a tea lounge and a VIP spa suite with its own changing room, steam sauna and fireplace"

"A plush palace of spacious, handsome rooms complete with Frette linens and floor-to-ceiling windows, the hotel offers spectacular views from the 35th floor Lobby Lounge (open to all) – if those from your room aren’t spectacular enough"

"The lobby lounge, just past a massive Dale Chihuly chandelier, faces the park"

""Top of the line" rave supporters of this "modern yet elegant" Midtown luxury destination, where you'll need "money to burn" (but it's "worth it for a sophisticated New York experience"), and "everything screams opulence", from the "spectacular" Asiate restaurant and "amazing" spa to the lobby lounge with "phenomenal" views; the "state-of-the-art" rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows are "nothing short of amazing", the "exceptional" staff leaves guests feeling "cossetted" and the "lovely" location next to the Time Warner Center offers "convenient" access to "pretty much everything"

"After a day spent getting pampered in the spa, head to the Lobby Lounge for a preprandial cocktail before tucking into a range of modern American dishes in Asiate"

"Like the lobby lounge, Mandarin's Asian influence is visible in the menu with items like Korean pancakes, fried rice, steamed pork buns, dim sum bento boxes, and a lengthy sake menu"
