"The atrium of the Marina Mandarin is a colossal 21-story space, but it is peaceful and serene for its size and busy location due to the natural light that streams through skylights." Full review

Each room has a balcony -- ask for a harborview room.

Pastel guest rooms are modern and smart; for the best view, request a room overlooking the harbor.
