Meet our partners: Mandarin Oriental

Luxury at Mandarin Oriental is exemplified by amenities such as signature spa services, curated excursions, and dining options that include Michelin-starred restaurants headed by world-renowned chefs. For example, Chef Heston Blumenthal is the mastermind behind the culinary offerings at Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, while Chef Richard Ekkebus heads the two Michelin-starred Amber restaurant in Hong Kong.

After being treated to a feast fit for royalty, you can unwind with holistic spa treatments that take influence from the local culture with a touch of the group’s oriental heritage. While treatments can vary, we wholeheartedly recommend booking the ‘Time Ritual’, which includes services that are tailored to your specific needs within your chosen timeframe. Unsure of which treatments to try? Your spa concierge can offer recommendations on treatments plus wellness disciplines that include tai-chi, nutrition counselling, fitness, meditation, beauty, and relaxation.

When you want to explore the area surrounding your Mandarin Oriental accommodation, you can discover a range of unique experiences curated just for you. Staff training programs are held at every Mandarin Oriental property to ensure the group’s team of 11,000+ members can provide an unparalleled level of service that will exceed your expectations.

Highlighting just a few examples out of Mandarin Oriental’s portfolio of prestigious properties is no easy feat, but the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London certainly deserves a mention. Located between Knightsbridge and Royal Parkland, the hotel’s fabulous rooms have been designed by acclaimed designer Joyce Wang to reflect the beauty of Hyde Park. Facilities include three restaurants – one with two Michelin stars, a tearoom, and a bar. This is also where you’ll find one of the top-rated spas in the British Capital.

In the Italian city of Milan, the Mandarin Oriental occupies four 18th-century buildings that scream elegance around every corner. Chef Antonio Guida amazes the taste buds of guests by preparing creative meals at the two Michelin-starred restaurant Seta. Other spectacular facilities include the green oasis that is the Mandarin Garden, one of the city’s largest indoor swimming pools, and a hair salon run by celebrity hairstylist Massimo Serini. For sleeping arrangements, you can choose from 70 rooms and 34 suites, all of which measure a minimum of 400 feet squared. World-class shopping destinations plus landmarks like Milan Cathedral are just a short walk from the hotel.

Last but not least on our list of favorite Mandarin Oriental properties is the hotel that occupies a 19th-century villa near Lake Como. Home to lush botanical gardens, numerous restaurants, a floating pool on the lake, and a spa with six treatment rooms, the Mandarin Oriental at Lake Como combines modern Italian elegance with a subtle oriental charm. This amazing 5-star hotel reopens for the summer on April the 1st, so keep your eyes peeled!
