Mandarin Oriental Hotels: Every Property & Fans of M.O.
The fan is everywhere now: 46 hotels, the fastest expansion in the group's history, and a 150-year-old flagship still setting the standard.
By Biirdee Travel, Luxury Travel Concierge · Updated October 3, 2026
Mandarin Oriental descends from two hotels that defined Asian luxury: The Oriental in Bangkok (1876, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2026) and the Mandarin in Hong Kong (1963). The combined group now runs 46 hotels across 27 territories and is mid-sprint: Vienna opened December 2025, Desaru Coast (ex-One&Only) joined February 2026, Hong Kong's Landmark reopened June 2026 after a ground-up renovation, and Mallorca's Punta Negra debuts this summer, while the parent company is being taken private at a ~$4.2 billion valuation.
The brand's register sits between Four Seasons polish and Peninsula heritage: serious spa culture (the MO spas are arguably the world's best hotel spa program), serious restaurants (The Landmark alone holds seven Michelin stars across its venues), and Asian service grammar in every city it enters.
Mandarin Oriental in Brief
- 46 hotels as of June 2026 across Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa, with ~25 more in the pipeline (Porto Cervo, Cortina, Suzhou, Manila, Bali).
- Fans of M.O. is a free recognition program, not points: each direct-booking stay you pick two privileges (early check-in, late check-out, a credit, or a treat). The upper Silk tier (breakfast, upgrades) is invitation-only.
- Bangkok and Hong Kong remain the soul of the brand, but not its value plays: on our same-dates checks (priced 1 October 2026) Bangkok cost $518–1,496 a night and Hong Kong $696–988. The value is in Jakarta ($124–139, and 9.80 with recent guests), Kuala Lumpur ($155–270) and Doha ($244–363).
- On our scoring of recent guest reviews, Mandarin Oriental averages 9.21 out of 10 across 31 hotels, with 82% of guests scoring 9 or more: sixth of the eleven brands we could score. Hong Kong (9.86) and Wangfujing in Beijing (9.85) lead; the Conservatorium in Amsterdam (7.83) trails.
- The advisor channel ("MO Fan Club" rate) adds a property credit and upgrade priority at the same rate, plus daily breakfast where the rate does not already include it (the cheapest rate included it at only 14–24% of hotels on our stays): stackable with Fans of M.O. perks.
- Mandarin Oriental, Miami closed in May 2025 for redevelopment; ignore stale lists that include it.
Mandarin Oriental by Our Numbers
On 1 October 2026 we priced the same stays at all 46 Mandarin Orientals through our own booking engine (the one behind hotels.biirdee.com) and scored the 100 most recent verified guest reviews at each hotel ourselves: the mean out of 10, the share scoring 9 or more and the share under 7. The Conservatorium in Amsterdam was priced and scored on 3 October 2026. The test stays were 10–13 Nov 2026, 27–30 Dec 2026, 12–15 Mar 2027 and 15–18 Jul 2027, for two adults; rates are the lowest per night the engine charged that day, and taxes the hotel collects at checkout are extra.
Only 31 of the 46 have enough recent reviews to score: at least 50 written since June 2024. The newest (Qianmen, Vienna, Punta Negra, Downtown Dubai) have few or none on our platform yet, and at others, the Lutetia and Mandarin Oriental, Paris among them, the latest reviews reach back years. We leave those out of the brand averages.
The Mandarin Oriental Scorecard
Guest scores are the mean of the 100 most recent verified reviews on our booking platform (out of 10), then the share scoring 9 or more and the share scoring under 7. † marks an older review window. Rates are our same-dates checks of every hotel on sale; Forbes is the 2026 Star Awards.

How Thirteen Luxury Brands Compare on Our Numbers
Our own numbers: the 100 most recent verified reviews at every hotel with enough of them on our booking platform, the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 ratings, and the lowest rate per night on the same three stays (10–13 Nov 2026, 12–15 Mar 2027, 15–18 Jul 2027) at every hotel each brand had on sale. Ten brands were pulled on 1 October 2026; the three marked * (Capella, One&Only and Waldorf Astoria) on 3 October 2026. Aman and Cheval Blanc sell too few rooms online to score. "Not comparable" means the brand's breakfast and room-only rates were sold as different packages, so the gap is not what breakfast costs.
| Brand | Recent guest score | Guests 9+ | Guests under 7 | Forbes Five-Star hotels | Median lowest rate (Nov / Mar / Jul) | Breakfast for two adds |

What the Numbers Say
Mandarin Oriental lands sixth of the eleven brands we could score on recent guest reviews (9.21), behind Capella (9.69), Belmond (9.53), Maybourne (9.40), One&Only (9.30) and the Peninsula (9.26), and ahead of Four Seasons (9.17), Rosewood and Dorchester Collection (9.14 each), Waldorf Astoria (8.93) and Ritz-Carlton (8.89). Among the four big portfolios with 30 or more hotels scored (Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria and Mandarin Oriental), it has the highest score and the lowest share of disappointed guests, 6.9% under 7. It is also the Forbes heavyweight after Four Seasons: 27 of its 40 rated hotels are Five-Star, and in 2026 it won more new Five-Star hotel ratings than any other brand (the Savoy in Zurich, Qianmen in Beijing, Barcelona and Emirates Palace). The spread is wide, though. Asia carries the brand: Hong Kong (9.86), Wangfujing in Beijing (9.85), Jakarta (9.80) and Macau (9.78) top the ranking, and six of the top eight are in Asia, while four of the five lowest are in Europe.
On price, Mandarin Oriental is one of the more accessible luxury brands we track. Its median lowest rate ran $740 a night in November, $704 in March and $812 in July; in November and March only Waldorf Astoria and Ritz-Carlton had lower medians among the brands we could compare, though in July five brands did. The extras cost more than at most brands. Breakfast for two added a median $124–200 a night on the same room, and only Rosewood's range ($161–225) starts higher; it is also where reviews dip, coming up in 21.6% of written reviews, which averaged 9.11 against 9.42 for the rest. And breakfast is rarely in the price: only 14–24% of the hotels included it in their cheapest rate. Free cancellation, by contrast, is cheap (a median 2–6%), and the cheapest suite costs a median 1.57x–1.72x the cheapest room.

When to Go
Brand-wide, February is the cheapest month for a two-night midweek stay: the median lowest rate fell to $707 a night, and February was the cheapest month at 13 hotels, more than any other. September was the dearest ($947). The flagships each keep their own calendar. Bangkok drops to $518 from April to September, Hong Kong barely moves ($716–957), Tokyo runs from $664 in August to $2,015 in January, Hyde Park from $930 in February and April to $1,415 in July, and New York from $874 in February to $3,181 in November. Lago di Como, Bodrum and Costa Navarino had nothing on sale in our monthly checks from November to March, and all three were cheapest in April. Every hotel's rates, the resort calendar and what breakfast, refunds, suites and taxes add are on our Mandarin Oriental prices page.
Mandarin Oriental's Highest and Lowest Recent Guest Scores
The five highest and five lowest of the 31 Mandarin Orientals with at least 50 reviews written since June 2024, by the mean of each hotel's 100 most recent verified reviews on our booking platform (out of 10), then the share scoring 9 or more and the share scoring under 7. A blank Forbes cell means we found no 2026 listing.
| # | Hotel | City | Guest score (mean · 9+ · under 7) | Forbes 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong | Hong Kong | 9.86 · 97% · 1% | Five-Star |

| 31 | Conservatorium Hotel | Amsterdam | 7.83 · 44% · 20% |
Hong Kong is the standout: 9.86, with 97% of recent guests scoring 9 or more, at $696–988 a night on our stays. Jakarta is the value story, third at 9.80 and the cheapest Mandarin Oriental on all four of our stays ($124–139 a night). Bangkok ranks sixth (9.58, with only 1% under 7) and Tokyo eighth (9.53); Hyde Park sits 19th (9.12). At the bottom, the Conservatorium in Amsterdam (7.83) had 20% of recent guests under 7, and its written reviews flag service and breakfast; Mayfair (8.52) sold only suites on three of our four stays, at $2,895–3,614 a night. The full ranking, the hotels we cannot rank yet and honest notes on each low scorer are on the best Mandarin Oriental hotels; for the two flagships in depth, see our guides to Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok and Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.
What Our Desk Books
Our desk booked 14 Mandarin Oriental trips across 11 Mandarin Orientals between November 2024 and September 2026. Tokyo is the most-booked (three trips in 2026, of three to seven nights), and in Tokyo our clients have chosen Mandarin Oriental over the Peninsula every time so far. The rest are spread across the map: a multi-room group in Milan over Christmas 2025, two stays in Singapore, Doha, three December nights in Bangkok, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, the Ritz in Madrid, two June nights at Hyde Park, the Conservatorium in Amsterdam, New York and Barcelona. City stays are often booked within a few days of arrival; holidays and group trips months ahead (about three months for Milan, about five for Hyde Park). What clients spend per night, taxes in, depends on the room: about $760–1,900 in Tokyo and about $1,260–1,310 in Milan, with suites far higher.
Mandarin Oriental Prices and Guest Scores: FAQs
How much does a Mandarin Oriental cost per night?
On our same-dates check (priced 1 October 2026) the median lowest rate across Mandarin Oriental was $740 a night for 10–13 Nov 2026, $862 for 27–30 Dec 2026, $704 for 12–15 Mar 2027 and $812 for 15–18 Jul 2027, before the taxes some hotels collect at checkout. The cheapest was Jakarta ($124–139 on all four stays); the dearest was Mayfair in London, where only suites were left on three of our stays ($2,895–3,614). Every hotel is priced on our Mandarin Oriental prices page.
When is Mandarin Oriental cheapest?
February, brand-wide: the median midweek rate was $707 a night, against $947 in September, and February was the cheapest month at 13 hotels. The flagships vary: Bangkok is cheapest from April to September ($518), Hong Kong in February ($716), Tokyo in August ($664), Hyde Park in February and April ($930) and New York in February ($874).
Is breakfast included at Mandarin Oriental?
Usually not in the lowest rate: only 14–24% of Mandarin Orientals included it on our stays. Adding breakfast for two raised the same room by a median $124–200 a night. A preferred-partner booking through an advisor such as Biirdee adds daily breakfast where the rate does not already include it.

Fans of M.O., Honestly Explained
Fans of M.O. is free and worth joining, but understand what it is: a recognition program, not a points engine. Each stay booked direct, you choose two privileges from a short menu (early check-in, late check-out, a property-set F&B/spa credit (typically $50–100), or an in-room treat), plus app perks and shop discounts. There is nothing to earn or redeem, and the upper tiers (Silk and above), which add daily breakfast and upgrades, are invitation-only with no published criteria.
The stronger play stacks the channels: hold Fans of M.O. membership for the privileges, then book through an advisor channel where the MO Fan Club rate adds a property credit, upgrade priority and daily breakfast for two where the rate does not already include it, at the same flexible rate. Biirdee arranges exactly that, and on the Bangkok flagship's 150th-anniversary year, when demand will spike, our pre-arrival flagging genuinely matters.
Mandarin Oriental FAQs
How many Mandarin Oriental hotels are there?
46 open as of June 2026, with roughly 25 more in development (Porto Cervo and Cortina in Italy, Suzhou, Manila, Bali, an Egypt trio). Note Miami closed in May 2025 for redevelopment.
Is Fans of M.O. worth it?
Yes. It's free and the pick-two privileges have real value. But it's recognition, not loyalty: no points, no earnable status. Pair it with an advisor booking (a property credit, upgrade priority and breakfast where the rate does not include it, at the same rate) for the full stack.
What is the best Mandarin Oriental?
Bangkok, by history, service lore and riverside romance, especially in its 150th year. The Landmark Hong Kong (fresh from renovation) is the gastronomic flagship; Ritz Madrid and Lutetia Paris the European trophies. On recent guest reviews, though, Hong Kong (9.86) and Wangfujing in Beijing (9.85) lead the brand, and Bangkok ranks sixth (9.58): see the full ranking.
Mandarin Oriental or Peninsula?
Closely matched Asian-heritage rivals. Peninsula owns its twelve hotels and runs deeper service consistency; MO covers nearly four times the map and wins on spas and restaurants. In Hong Kong, Bangkok and London you genuinely can't choose wrong.
What Biirdee Does
A concierge travel agency: paid by the hotel, never by you
Biirdee Travel books luxury hotels through preferred-partner programs: you pay the same rate as booking direct, the partner benefits attach to your reservation, and a human concierge handles the details end to end.
Tell us the trip
Destination or property, rough dates, who’s traveling. The form takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
A concierge replies within hours
A real person checks availability, compares properties honestly, and confirms the perks your stay qualifies for: upgrades, breakfast, and credits where available.
Book at the same rate as direct
The hotel pays our commission out of the rate you’d pay anyway, so the perks cost you nothing. Before and during the trip, one concierge on WhatsApp handles requests and changes.
Flying too? The same team books business and first class: flights and hotels aligned as one itinerary, one point of contact.
Biirdee · Preferred Partner
The Fan, With Benefits Attached
Same rate as mandarinoriental.com, plus a property credit, upgrade priority and breakfast where the rate does not already include it, through our advisor channel: across all 46 hotels.
