The Mandarin Oriental has a dark and cozy interior that’s reminiscent of a classic grand hotel, but with a modern and simple twist. The lobby and reception area pairs caramel wood-block paneling with gleaming beige and brown marble flooring and metal accents. Geometric Art Nouveau pattern adorns the elevator doors, matching the yellow-and-blue abstract corridor carpet.
Rooms
This location offers eight different room and suite variations ranging from the Deluxe Room to the Royal Suite. The elegant Deluxe King Room had a sleek, contemporary design, furnished with a sumptuous bed dressed in luxurious linens, a 42-inch flat-screen TV and striking maple cabinetry inlaid in black. The spacious bathrooms featured a deep tub, separate rainfall shower and Red Flower toiletries. But our favorite room amenities were the practical items, a full-sized nail file and a shoehorn to name a few.
