Fodor's Review:

The Mandarin brings some Asian style to a rather staid corner of New York. Its cavernous lobby sizzles with energy from the 35th floor of the Time Warner Center. Here you'll find two wonderful lounges, and the restaurant Asiate, from which to soak in the dramatic views above Columbus Circle and Central Park. On the higher floors, silk throws abound on plush beds, and the marble-clad bathrooms prove the Mandarin's commitment to excess. That said, contrasted with the monumental frame created by floor-to-ceiling glass, and the view it presents, regular rooms feel small. Suites are really what set this hotel apart, by creating enough stage space to make the hotel's Asian-influenced decor, and the views, really dazzle. The swimming pool is one of the city's best in a hotel, with panoramic Hudson River views. The elaborate spa is impressive. Pros: a vibrant urban hotel; luxury all the way; fantastic pool with views; best spa in the city. Cons: Trump hotel blocks portion of park views; expensive; mall-like environs.
