Stopped by one evening for some after dinner drinks at the Aubrey bar. We ordered a dirty martini, sake and a highball. Great service and drinks. The staff was very accommodating in moving us from the bar to the table right next to the window where we enjoyed beautiful views of the Victoria Harbour. Highly recommend for a great ambience! read more

Truly luxurious! I was fortunate to stay 4 glorious nights at this amazing hotel, centrally located in Central District. I reserved my room through American Express Platinum Card and there was a special- stay 3 nights and get Fourth free. My room has access to the Mandarin Club, located on the 24th Floor- a beautiful space with fabulous views of Victoria Harbour. The afternoon tea starts at 2:30 pm, with delicious scones, finger sandwiches and sweets. At 5 pm, there is another buffet with soup, salads, meats, cheese, assorted appetizers. I really loved the Mandarin Club, so nice to have a glass of champagne after a long day of exploring the city. The spa was magnificent! I had the manicure pedicure and the technician spent nearly 2 hours on this treatment - truly the best pampering in Hong Kong! The room was lovely, I loved the Diptyque bath products and this was quite the luxurious stay at this magnificent hotel. The service was fabulous. Can't wait to return to the Mandarin Oriental!! read more

It was our first time staying in a Mandarin Oriental and feel truly spoiled after the experience. Service is exemplary as many have noted and from what MO is known for. The location for this hotel can't be beat with it being so accessible to two MTR stations, the Star Ferry, and so many walkable restaurants and tourist spots. We were a party of six and stayed here four nights during our recent stay. They had a promotion for one free night after three so we were able to reduce our average nightly rate. We had originally booked two standard harbor view rooms but they very kindly upgraded us to two suite harbor view rooms which had a small living room area, bed for the children, and separate king size bedroom. The room was so spacious and comfortable! The bathroom had a huge Koehler soaking tub that was perfect for tired feet at the end of the day. The Botega Veneta bath products were nicely perfumed. Since our youngest was turning 7 during our trip they had a birthday cake during our stay awaiting us in our room (that was truly decadent!). Our daughter left one of her books out one day and we arrived back to find it gently closed with a beautiful bookmark. We had breakfast daily in the Clipper Lounge (after joining their free loyalty program we were able to get two complementary breakfasts). Would definitely recommend this as your hotel of choice for HK.. read more

This hotel is centrally located in the heart of central, not far away and easily walkable from the ferry terminal area. The decor and amenities of the room are spot on with some really cool modern features and electronics such as automatic blinds. Views will be of the Ferris wheel and harbour. Average room rates here can be somewhat high -- 400-600 a night, though this seemingly is the case anywhere on this island. The level of service has been very professional and does not disappoint. read more

One of my favorite hotels. Upon arrival, everything is top notch, from check in to staff leading you to the room. Furniture was not ultra modern, but everything felt luxurious. For one of the longer stays, they gave us a jar of truffles from the cafe downstairs. I kid you not, it's one of the yummiest truffles I've had. Additionally, if you notice, the hotel has its signature scent. The minute you step into the lobby, you can smell it, I don't know what's in it, but it just smells amazing. Our last stay we were upgraded to a suite, which had relatively small room but HUGE bathroom, I think I could live in the bathroom if I wanted to. When you are here, definitely grab a cocktail at the Captain's Bar. And don't forget to get some chocolate truffles from the cafe. Every time I came here (only twice so far), I intentionally left some space in my suitcase so I can bring some truffles home. read more

This has become my favorite hotel in Hong Kong. Why? Not only do they have exceptional service and amenities but the location cannot be beat. You walk out the door and you are right in the heart of Central. No matter what you want to do, day or night, you can find it there. I have been staying at this hotel for many-many years. ...Truthfully, more times than I can count. The staff and the accommodations have always been exceptional. Like most five-staff hotels, the staff at the Mandarin Oriental will take care of you. But, what always surprises me is the little things that they do to make their guests feel special. Whether it is to very consciously greet me and thank me for returning to the hotel onto the fruit baskets they provide in the rooms, the little things really make a difference when you stay at this hotel. In terms of the rooms, they are all very well designed. But, I will make a few suggestion here. When you are booking your room, request a Harbour (British spelling) View Room on one of the higher floors. These rooms provide you with a spectacular view of the harbor and Kowloon. The view is so great, one time I shot a few transnational scenes for one of the films I was shooting in Hong Kong from my hotel room window. At night, it is just beautiful! Also, if you can afford it, ask for a Harbour View Suite. They are not too much more expensive than the regular rooms and it will truly make your stay spectacular. Overall, though there is a number of newer hotels in Hong Kong, this remains one of the best. It is a great place to stay. read more

The epitome of luxury. From arrival to departure, I barely lifted a finger, as the staff bend over backwards for you. This is truly a full service hotel. And, as the one of oldest hotels in HK, MO maintains its history while implementing modern features you'd expect in this metropolitan city. Highlights: - Swift check in, I arrived ahead of my partner who booked the room and they graciously accommodated me - Large, comfortable room with a huge bed that could probably fit 6 people. Perfect for conquering jet lag. Very modern, light switches look like control panels. - Bathroom, this was my lair... Hermés bath products, dual shower head, fog less mirror, every toiletry and kit you could think of (including lint brush!!) - Housekeeping was phenomenal. Lining my shoes up in the closet, folding clothes that I'd strewn about, wrapping up cords, arranging my cosmetics. - Lots of dining and bar options. Just double check when they are open and serving food. I spent most time in the Clipper Lounge having cocktails, I mean afternoon tea. By Cafe Causette there is a walkway that will take you to a shopping mall. Inside there is a grocery store (Oliver's) and a pharmacy (Mannings), among high end shopping stores. - Currensy exchange at reception I have NO complaints! Enjoy your stay. read more

There are now 2 Mandarin Hotels, but this will always remain THE BEST one! It is the original and it has a place in my heart from my childhood as well as adulthood. This is a classic. I'm here on this trip for the Michelin announcement press conference and as usual they've laid out a spread that's delicious and uniquely Hong Kong. Service is impeccable. I've always loved using the "powder room" on the 1st floor. It's blue and as always, in the high end hotels, there's a bathroom attendant. Be nice and leave a tip! read more

The old Mandarin in Central is still the best! I needed to be in several offices in Central during the day on both sides of Gloucester Road. Mandarin is the place. They all call you by name, Mr. S, and I am told they keep a personal file on you from your visits to anticipate your preferences. They have two or is it three Michelin restaurants plus five other bars and eateries. The rooms are immaculate from electronics to plumbing. Binoculars for viewing across the harbour to Kowloon and a cell phone if you need a local one for example. Check out the harbor view pic from the room posted here. I just collapsed the first night and slept soundly in the linen sheets, didn't use the tv. Great shower with double heads plus a big rain head straight down. I like a quick meal at the Chinnery (See other reviews). Light breakfast at the bakery cake shop is very good. You can sit at a table and be served, buy at the counter and sit at the bar, or buy and take out to your room. Pastries bought at the counter are much bigger than those served at the table, a strange touch peculiar to the culture of this property group. Exact same flakes and fillings but smaller. All food is excellent. The bars serve beer in silver mugs, but I like the airy feeling of their sister MO in the Landmark better. Brits occupied the best suites here, then Americans followed by a sprinkling of Japanese and Europeans. Now they are Mandarin speakers with a sprinkling of Shanghainese. And it is still the best in Hong Kong which is pretty hard to beat. read more

We chose to stay at the Mandarin Oriental since it is known to be a "Hong Kong institution" but rightfully this title has faded. My husband, son, and I here for 5 nights for the first half of my husband's 40th birthday celebration and sadly we did not get the 5star experience that others rave about. EVERYTHING about this hotel was mediocre from the room (we stayed in a harbour view suite) to the lackluster service. The food was above mediocre but then again we mainly ordered room service since the two times we did decide to eat at the Clipper lounge I felt completely discriminated against (perhaps because of my ethnicity or because I put in no effort to dress to impress or both?). I signed up for pretty much everything they are "known" for to get the full experience: - Harbor View Suite: we were on the 7th floor and our view was almost in line with the parking garages across from us across from us. It's also important to note that the hotel faces a major street. - Jadestone treatment: my masseur was skilled BUT he had me sit down where my feet were to be washed prior to my massage (which I extended to 90 mins) but he did not wash my feet. It was baffling to me. Perhaps it was beneath him to wash my feet? - Hainan Chicken: this was good but not worth the $40+ - Afternoon tea: this was decent but we sat at the tables in lobby and it was awkward. We looked around us and everyone had a 3/4 glass of champagne but we received 1/2 glass. Normally I wouldn't even care but at $18+ a glass I do care. I ordered another glass just to make sure it wasn't a mistake and again I received 1/2 glass (see photos) - Breakfast buffet: although there was a nice eclectic selection of food to choose from, it all tasted stale including the dim sum. I had an omelette made to order and it had a medicinal taste to it. This is also where I felt the most discriminated against. They served my husband (who is Caucasian) but blatantly disregarded me. With a heavy heart, we opted to order room service for the rest of our stay because of how I was treated. - Mandarin barber: my husband and 4 year old son both got haircuts and they were no better than the barber they both go to back home. In fact, my sons hair was noticeably uneven in the back. Also, my husband got a beard trim and they only used clippers to trim yet charged an ludicrous amount. Other than its prime location, this hotel has nothing outstanding to offer. It's also very clear that the hotel's values seem to be far behind in the times which is why other surrounding hotels like Upper House or even the Ritz Carlton are thriving. One does not need to come to the Mandarin Oriental to experience anything extraordinary. My suggestion is to look elsewhere to get what your pay for. *Tip: if you do decide to stay here, DO NOT use their $180 (one-way) airport transfer service. Use an Uber instead which offers the same service in a nice clean car or van at a fraction of the price. read more

When I think of the #1 luxury 5 star hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong flagship property takes the cake, hands down! The incredible service, amenities, food, elegant quality, & decor is truly unparalleled. Our flight from Thailand to Hong Kong was delayed & I was really sad that my husband & I would miss our reservations to Man Wah, Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant located inside the hotel. So I called & spoke to the hotel front desk manager letting him know of our unfortunate situation & that we wouldn't arrive to the hotel until after 11pm although the restaurant was set to close at 10pm. He made a phone call to the restaurant & called me back stating the staff would wait to make our food & could deliver our food to our room upon check-in. I was over-the-moon ecstatic because this was the only night we would be able to try Man Wah & we were really looking forward to trying this restaurant. We arrived at 11:30pm, front desk staff walked us to our suite for check-in & just a couple minutes into check-in, room service arrived with our Peking Duck in 2 ways, hot & sour soup, & a pork dish. I was so appreciative that staff at the restaurant stayed late to prepare this meal for us & have it delivered. Love their above & beyond service!! The sweet gentleman delivering & setting up our food, pulled out my chair for me, napkin placed in my lap, we were offered any welcome drink of our choice. Truly amazing service throughout our stay which made us feel so welcome & special. The suite itself, overlooking the harbor & city was beautiful. The separate living room and work/desk area is very nice. Butler service with the push of a button available. I loved our mail box next to the front door which I could access from inside the room because it felt like a secret door. Our favorite part of the suite was actually the restroom. Spacious, luxurious, best water pressure in the shower with 2 adjustable shower heads, large bath tub & all the amenities you could imagine are already present without having to request at the front desk, including shaving equip, deodorant, comb, floss, cotton swabs, tooth brush, tooth paste, bath salts..etc. There are 10 different restaurants/bars & a bakery onsite, (3 different Michelin starred restaurants) stores for shopping, spa, & art/history pieces around the lobby area. My husband and I love this type of hotel in which we could spend all the days indoors and feeling like we have everything we need & more in the hotel. We really enjoyed Tea Time in the Clipper Lounge, cigar lounge, lunch at the Mandarin Grill & Bar, & the spa. My husband & I were staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Thailand right before Hong Kong and we thought that hotel was incredible but this one blew us away even more. #BestHotel #5stars #CanILiveHere? read more

***CIGAR DIVAN-- Nice Selection of Cigars, Cigarillos and Clubs; Great Ambience!*** There are some distinct differences in this Cigar Divan versus it's other branch in Central (i.e. the Red Chamber) ----this Divan in The Mandarin Oriental is designed for when you don't have too much time to spare i.e. it is MUCH smaller in size, with limited seating and very limited selection of drinks. I certainly liked the Tea here, it had a good strong flavor and it didn't overpower the Cigar flavor... which is perfect. (Its other branch, The Red Chamber has alcohol as well, but this one doesn't have... which is intentional of course). So, it's perfect for me when I don't have time and I need to have a quick cigar smoke (while it's branch The Red Chamber is perfect for me when there is time to spare.... with its plush seating/interiors). This Cigar Divan is conveniently located in the heart of Central, so that's a huge plus...whether you work in Central or coming in from MTR/Taxi. MOST IMPORTANTLY - The SELECTION OF CIGARS, CIGARILLOS AND CLUBS is good- all my "staple" Cigar brands are available here whether it's Partagás, Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, etc. Of course there are other brands too but I'm yet to try them.....in time I will try them too. read more

This is a flagship Mandarin Oriental hotel. The service and amenities here are top notch. Its very centrally located next to all the finest shops and near the underground. Its also just a short walk from the tram that goes up to Victoria's Peak. I stayed here for a week in September 2012 and really enjoyed my stay. The trip started out great with some people from the hotel meeting us at the gate at the airport on a golf cart and expediting us through customs to our waiting limo for the ride to the hotel. The staff here is very accommodating. Housekeeping must have come to our room 2-3 times a day to clean, fold dirty clothes, provide turn down service, pickup/drop off laundry, etc. The gym at the hotel is quite decent. They have a mix of cardio machines and dumbbells. Towels, fruit and water is provided. The food at the hotel is so amazing. I had dim sum almost everyday. The best meal at the hotel was the weekend brunch. Its one of the top brunches I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It has food from the east and the west. I would highly recommend this hotel if its in your budget. read more

My wife and I recently spent four nights of our post wedding vacation at the Mandarin Oriental (MO). I have wanted to stay at the MO ever since I first visited HK back in 1995, so this was a stay I was much looking forward to. I did not have one experience during my stay at the MO that was short of exceptional. Checking in was a breeze, and we were greeted with cups of tea. They were so kind enough to upgrade us to a City View Suite. Since our flight was an hour early, our room wasn't quite ready for us, which gave us an excuse to eat an amazing dim sum meal at Man Wah. Once our room was ready, Jumpei escorted us up to our room. The room was beautifully decorated with the traditional Chinese flair and was very comfortable and equipped with all the modern amenities. Most importantly, it was immaculate from a cleanliness standpoint. The bathroom was huge with a walk-in shower and free standing tub. The MO provided toiletries by Bottega Veneta, which were a little too fragrant for me but this is just my personal preference as I recognize it's a very exclusive brand. I'm very picky when it comes to hotel beds. The MO delivered, and I didn't wake up once with low back pain like I do at most other luxury properties. Like what other TA reviewers have noted, the service at the MO Hong Kong is the thing that stood out most during our stay. The staff at the MO are truly the most amazing group of professionals I've ever encountered at a hotel. Everybody from Jumpei to Suzanna at the Clipper Lounge went beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The staff knew ahead of time that we had just gotten married, and we were greeted in the room with a framed picture (which I provided ahead of time via e-mail) and bottle of champagne. We were definitely touched by this kind gesture. The location of the MO cannot be beat. The property is a 10 minute walk from Hong Kong Station, which makes the trip to/from HKG super easy. The hotel houses some of Hong Kong's best, but nearby you can find some fantastic noodle shops, delicious egg tarts, and other cheap eats to satisfy your cravings. If shopping is your thing, you can find any luxury brand within two blocks of the property. If you're looking for something more unique, the SOHO district is about a 10-15 mile walk away. If you plan to explore other areas of Hong Kong, Central Station is conveniently located a block away. From there, you can easily access the Kowloon side. I cannot stop telling others of our experience at the MO Hong Kong. We loved it so much, we're in the early stages of planning our next trip. read more

I've been lucky enough to stay in some very nice hotels in the past, and the Mandarin Oriental ranks up there with my favorites (The Plaza NYC, Waldorf Astoria NYC, St. Regis Monarch Beach, and Ritz-Carlton New Orleans). Top to bottom, everything about the hotel is fantastic. LOCATION: - Located in the heart of Central, the MO provides easy foot access to the various Landmark buildings via air-conditioned walkways (from the Mezzanine level), and from there to the IFC, ferry piers, and the Central and Hong Kong MTR stations through elevated walkways without being exposed to the sun or rain. - The MO is a brief walk (or very quick cab ride) to tourist attractions like the Star Ferry, HK Observation Wheel, Peak Tram, SoHo, and Lan Kwai Fong. HOTEL SERVICE: - The service here really sets it apart from your typical high-end hotel. The doormen practically run to greet you, pick up your bags, open doors, or get you a taxi. - The front desk, concierge, and bell desk are always fully staffed so you are never left waiting. - I arrived early in the morning, was offered access to the spa to shower/change, was able to use the business center, and was provided with a complimentary breakfast. - Once my room was ready, the clerk escorted me to my room and provided me with a tour of the room, and answered all my questions. - If you get a "Fan Club" rate you are entitled to breakfast for two, free internet, and a $100 food/beverage credit. ROOM: - Room 1020 faced north toward Kowloon and had a beautiful view of the harbor, HK Observation Wheel, the Kowloon skyline, and down to the Hong Kong Convention Centre. The east-facing rooms have views over Statue Square, the HSBC building, and the Bank of China Tower (by I.M. Pei). - My room was truly in a western-style but other rooms have different setups. The decor itself isn't super fancy, but everything is very comfortable and functional. - Rooms come with a valet box for deliveries of newspapers and packages. As you enter the room you'll see the valet box light on. Remove your delivery and the valet box light goes off. Brilliant! - Lights can be turned on/off/adjusted at the room entrance, next to the bed, and with a remote control. - My bathroom had a shower and tub all in one room. The shower had two heads as well as a handheld head if you prefer. A portion of the mirror must have been heated as it never fogged up allowing you to shave or preen whilst in the shower. - All outlets accept both US and UK/Hong Kong-style plugs so no need for you to pack a converter. IN-ROOM SERVICE: - Turn down service includes filling your ice bucket with ice, leaving slippers out next to the bed, dimming the lights, and turning the TV on to mellow music. Best of all your bed is turned down and a tray is set on the bed including the remote, the in-room breakfast menu, and a seemingly different amenity every day - lavender pillow spray, salt scrub, eye mask, foot spray, etc. - If you leave dirty clothes on the floor they'll fold them for you (so I've been told). - If you leave cords dangling around your room they'll wind them up and velcro them together for you, keeping things organized. read more

Our stay at MOHK has been nothing short of amazing. Ms. Miranda Chan was an absolute delight! The service has been impeccable, with great, friendly, and knowledgeable staff in each and every department. The highlights of our stay were definitely the personal touch and celebratory welcome as well as afternoon tea. Highly recommend this hotel and becoming a member of their rewards program. We will certainly be returning to Hong Kong and I can't imagine staying anywhere else! read more

This was among the best hotel experiences I have had. The attention to detail on every level is impressive. In other words, a true 5 star experience and the sort of service which is becoming increasingly hard to find.

I have no doubt that this Mandarin will remain the iconic flagship of the Mandarin Oriental properties. It could not be located in a better place and is hugged on all sides by luxury shops, but is within walking distance of LKF as well as some of the more local, HK flavors worth checking out during your stay. I think the biggest perk/bonus is really the spa and lounge area. Tucked away towards the top of the building, this is your go-to spot if you need a place to freshen up following a long flight. We missed our change to shower and freshen up in the airport lounge in HKG so thought we had to "settle" for the facilities in the Mandarin. Settle we did not, as it was beyond luxurious and the staff could not be more helpful and friendly. They also provided some great food recs on our way out the door. Would definitely stay again. read more
