Wow!
Having returned from our summer holiday in France we find that our connecting flight home was cancelled because of storms. Since we couldn't get out until the next afternoon we decided to stay in the city. We then found ourselves scrambling to find a room and the Mandarin was one of the few hotels that had a room so we grabbed it. We prefer to stay in boutique hotels. Having said that we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We were upgraded to a suite overlooking Manhattan and Central Park on the 46th floor and it was luxurious and comfortable. Every single staff member we encountered couldn't have been nicer and we were even allowed a late checkout! Thank you Mandarin Oriental for a wonderful, albeit short, stay!
