Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong Blends Heritage and Art in Central District
The Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, which opened its doors in 1963, has become a landmark in Central, known for its luxurious accommodations and rich cultural heritage. It features 387 rooms and 60 suites, adorned with remarkable pieces like Celadon burial vases from the Sung Dynasty (960–1279) and an embroidered robe from the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) displayed in the Mandarin Suite. In the lobby, you’ll find a stunning 17th-century Ming gilt-bronze statue of a horseman and a mural by Gerard Henderson, restored in 1992.
