Mandarin Oriental New York

Mandarin Oriental's five-star New York property perches 280 feet above street level in the Time Warner Center—the luxurious rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the spectacular views. Among the many features of the two-floor, 14,500-square-foot spa are a body-pummeling Vitality Pool, an aromatherapy steam room and a lap pool with Hudson River vistas.
