    5 stars | The hotel with which is probably the best view over Central Park and Columbus Circle is the Mandarin Oriental. This luxurious hotel is a wonderful mix of Asian-inspired and classic design. The rooms are incredibly beautifully decorated and offer a panoramic view over Central Park. You’re spoiled for choice – either take the rooms facing Central Park or those with views that range the George Washington Bridge to the Statue of Liberty – but all have in common that the views through the floor-to-ceiling windows are spectacular.
