"An art nouveau–style grande dame in Cortina d’Ampezzo that first opened in 1901, this historic hotel has hosted celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot and even lent its skating rink to the U.S. Olympic team for practice during the 1956 Winter Olympics. Taken over by Mandarin Oriental in 2022, it has been closed since 2023 for an extensive Herzog & de Meuron–led renovation; a reopening date has not yet been announced. Planned features include 83 rooms and suites (many with balconies and panoramic mountain views), a variety of restaurants and bars (with the fate of the legendary nightclub still unclear), and a spacious spa with an indoor/outdoor pool. Room rates are not yet available." - Laura Itzkowitz
"Features the Winter Bliss Retreat with Oriental Qi massage and Youth Infusion facial, alongside access to steam rooms and unique classes like Floating Meditation."
"As a longtime Upper West Sider, I’ve strolled through Central Park dozens of times; that didn’t make the sweeping views from the Premier Central Park View Suite any less awe-inspiring. The accommodations were just as spectacular, with a massive U-shaped couch, a fluffy king-size bed, and heavy blackout shades that close at the touch of a button. Because of its top-tier service, sumptuous amenities, and fantastic central location, the Mandarin Oriental is both an excellent special-occasion staycation for New Yorkers and a prime landing spot for out-of-towners seeking easy access to Broadway, Central and Bryant Parks, and Fifth Avenue. Guests have easy access to two Michelin-starred restaurants, Per Se and Masa; a flex even by New York standards. From $800. —Madison Flager" - CNT Editors

"A cornerstone of the city’s five-star hotel scene, Mandarin Oriental’s New York City outpost is known for its elite service, a fantastic spa, and impressive vistas—the 75-foot lap pool overlooks the Hudson, the high-end MO Lounge boasts the Manhattan skyline as its backdrop, and the best rooms have bird’s eye views of Central Park. The rooms feel equal parts timeless in their definition of luxury—think heaping, decadent curtains for privacy, dark wooden desks, rich shades of the brand’s go-to purple—and contemporary, with modern artworks hung on the walls, shimmering structural light fixtures, and reflective metal details accenting every room. And the Mandarin Oriental’s spa is a destination in its own right. They offer standards like detox wraps and aroma stone massages, plus beauty treatments like hydradermabrasion and sculpting facials." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
