Occupying floors 35–54 of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, the Mandarin Oriental offers some of the most dramatic views in New York — Central Park to the north, the Hudson River to the west, and the Manhattan skyline in every direction. The award-winning spa spans two floors.
The Mandarin Oriental New York occupies floors 35 through 54 of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, placing guests high above one of Midtown Manhattan's most iconic intersections. The hotel's position at the southwest corner of Central Park delivers sweeping, unobstructed views in three directions — Central Park to the north, the Hudson River to the west, and the glittering Manhattan skyline to the south and east. Opened in 2003, the Mandarin Oriental was part of the Time Warner Center's transformation of Columbus Circle into a world-class mixed-use destination and remains one of the most coveted hotel addresses in the United States.
The 244 rooms and suites begin on the 35th floor, ensuring that every room has a meaningful elevated view. Floor-to-ceiling windows are standard throughout, and the hotel's design balances Asian-influenced calm with Manhattan energy. The Presidential Suite is one of the most sought-after in New York, and rooms facing north provide the most dramatic Central Park panoramas.
The award-winning Mandarin Oriental Spa spans two floors and 14,000 square feet. Treatment rooms include a couples' suite and dedicated wet rooms. The 75-foot indoor pool is heated year-round and offers exceptional Central Park views. The fitness center is equipped to international Mandarin Oriental standards.
Mobar, the hotel's signature bar, serves cocktails and afternoon tea against a backdrop of panoramic skyline views. Asiate, the hotel's flagship restaurant, serves contemporary cuisine from an intimate view-forward dining room. The Columbus Circle location provides direct access to Jazz at Lincoln Center on the building's ground level and the Shops at Columbus Circle directly below the hotel.
