The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park vs Mandarin Oriental, New York
Both of these five-star properties feature astounding views of Central Park and are located in Midtown, a few avenues apart. While The Ritz-Carlton Central Park is the standard for old world elegance and luxury, the less traditional Mandarin Oriental, New York features an exotically lush aesthetic. Both offer many indulgences, including renowned spas and service, but the Mandarin Oriental also offers an enclosed pool with excellent city views.

"Suites, however, are really what set this hotel apart, by creating enough stage space to make the hotel's Asian-influenced decor really dazzle."
