Park Hyatt New York runs $1,590 a night against Mandarin Oriental's $1,474, and the Hyatt edges it on guest rating too, 9.2 to 9.1, despite fewer reviews. The only listed difference in facilities is the Park Hyatt's hot tub, which the Mandarin doesn't have. Both sit within half a kilometre of each other off Central Park South, so location is nearly a wash. If the hot tub matters, or you prefer the quieter, more architectural building, pay the premium for the Park Hyatt; if you want the higher floors and the spa, the Mandarin is the better value at its price.
Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the Park Hyatt occupies a slender 2010s tower on West 57th Street, all warm limestone, bronze detailing and a lobby that behaves more like a private club than a hotel entrance, hushed, low-lit, no reception desk in sight. Rooms run to pale oak, deep leather chairs and enormous windows looking straight down onto Central Park or the spine of Midtown towers. The bar, the Living Room, does a slow trade in old-fashioneds and quiet piano into the evening. It draws a crowd that wants discretion over spectacle, a base near Carnegie Hall rather than the centre of the action.
Best for guests who want a quiet, design-forward retreat close to Carnegie Hall and MoMA, with a hot tub to unwind in.
The Mandarin occupies the upper floors of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, so the defining fact of the place is height: floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight over Central Park, the Hudson and the skyline, especially dramatic at the 35th-floor lobby and MO Bar. The interiors lean Asian-inflected contemporary, lacquer, silk, dark wood screens against glass, with a spa and 75-foot indoor pool that outdo most hotel wellness floors in the city. It suits guests who want the view as much as the room, and easy access to the shops and subway lines fanning out from Columbus Circle.
Best for guests who want sweeping Central Park and skyline views, a serious spa, and proximity to Columbus Circle's transit and shopping.
Booking the Mandarin Oriental over the Park Hyatt means giving up the in-room hot tub, the one facility the pricier hotel has that it doesn't.
Park Hyatt is the more beautiful room to sit still in, but Mandarin Oriental is the more beautiful room to look out of, and for many that view alone tips it.
