For over 50 years, Mandarin Oriental has been established as a leader in luxury hospitality, and has a rich and proud history. Our mission, “to completely delight and satisfy our guests” began with the opening of our flagship property, The Mandarin, in 1963 in Hong Kong. The hotel, which was the tallest building on the island when it opened, soon built up an enviable reputation for service excellence, and instantly became a historic landmark – a status it still holds today.
