Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai

Dubai is a destination for those who love to be dazzled, and the city’s Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai is well-positioned to put on a show: on one side, the crystal waters of the Arabian Gulf dance in the sunlight; on the other, the glass towers of this desert metropolis glitter day and night. Part beach resort, part urban bolthole, the 250-key hotel is the ideal launchpad for soaking up the singular vibes of the city and its fascinating culture, then simply soaking in languid luxury.

It’s also the starting point for an adventure of a totally different kind: Mandarin Oriental offers guests the chance to take advantage of their extra night by exploring the wilds of the Dubai desert in unparalleled style, whether on a high-octane dune buggy and quad biking excursion, or on a conservationist-guided desert safari in a museum-quality, vintage 1950’s Land Rover.

 Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul

With its low-rise façade fronting the blue Bosphorus and backed by a densely forested park, Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul is not only situated on the cusp of Europe and Asia, it also flirts with the line between private residence and hotel. Guests can recharge their batteries in total tranquillity, dining on the waterfront terrace or surveying the passing yachts from their quiet balcony, before diving back into the hustle and bustle of the city’s many vibrant quarters; upscale Bebek, with its trendy cafés and world-class shopping, is only five minutes by car, while the teeming Old Town can be reached in under an hour along a picturesque riverside drive.

While there, delve deeper into the heart and soul of Istanbul on a bespoke Turkish art tour that takes in the stunning Iznik tiles of the Ottoman-era Rustem Pasha Mosque and the beautiful, historic tapestries on display at the city’s Carpet Museum. Exclusive to guests of Mandarin Oriental, the tour culminates in a hands-on workshop that will have you weaving your own Turkish carpet or creating your own miniature Ottoman-style painting.

Mandarin Oriental, Boston

From revolution to reinvention, baseball to beer, the Massachusetts capital is central to the history of the United States, and Mandarin Oriental, Boston is in the middle of it all. The hotel’s location in affluent Back Bay situates guests within walking distance of the city’s key sights, from the beautiful Boston Public Library to the picturesque colonial streets of Beacon Hill and the historic bleachers of legendary Fenway Park.

The oldest field in Major League Baseball, Fenway has been home to the Boston Red Sox for more than 110 years; Mandarin Oriental guests can get a privileged view of this living landmark with a half-day experience that includes a private tour of Fenway Park with a local expert, including a chance to take in the view from the Green Monster wall overlooking left field, and concluding with ticketed seats to a Red Sox game.

Mandarin Oriental, Munich

Set on a secluded side street, yet within arm’s reach of the famed Maximilianstrasse, Mandarin Oriental, Munich is a jewel in the Bavarian capital. The hotel’s central location affords guest far-reaching views over the city skyline from many of its well-placed rooms, but the panoramas from the rooftop oasis Sushi Club are enough to stifle the breath, with vistas stretching from the towers of the iconic Frauenkirche to the snow-capped Alpine peaks in the distance.

Back on the ground, it’s only a few short steps to the city’s most sought-after sights, like the stately Residenz and imposing Gothic New Town Hall with its world-famous Glockenspiel. The shopping scene is a particular draw for those looking to indulge in a bit of retail therapy, in sleek temples of designer fashion and high-end local boutiques alike. Don’t miss the chance to stop by Munich hat-making atelier Fatzke for a highly customised experience making your own traditional Bavarian Hut to wear on your adventures – whether on the prairies of the Alps or in the city’s lively beer halls.

Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid

Housed in a restored Belle Époque palace not far from the prestigious Golden Triangle of Art, to stay at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid is to be bathed in the city’s history. The hotel has, through painstaking measures, been returned to its former glory, just the way César Ritz envisioned it more than 100 years ago. Think: going for a swim in a marble-walled indoor pool under a sparkling chandelier, or taking afternoon tea among leafy palms in the exquisite glass-domed Palm Court.

Mandarin Oriental’s proximity to Madrid’s most prominent museums invites guests to fully immerse themselves in superlative art, but there are plenty of opportunities to encounter other facets of the city’s culture and history, especially on your extended stay. A guest-exclusive guided tour of Madrileño centenary shops, for instance, leads you through the streets of Madrid as you discover the crafts of true heritage makers, such as the city’s best chocolate con churros at Chocolatería San Ginés, the ancient remedies and naturally made fragrances of Pharmacy of the Queen Mother, and the culinary delights of Casa Botín, the world’s oldest restaurant.

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Commanding a prime location overlooking Marina Bay, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore is the epitome of luxe accommodation in one of the world’s most desirable destinations. The photogenic landmark catches the eye from every angle and in every space, from the dramatic atrium lobby to the indulgent dining repertoire, pampering spa and the 510 opulent rooms boasting sweeping views of the city and marina.

It’s also a hotel that has thought of every detail, right down to the signature aroma Exceptionally Singapore, designed for Mandarin Oriental by fragrance house Maison 21G, with a nod to Singapore’s illustrious history. As a guest, you can visit the Maison for a unique sensory experience uncovering the long and esteemed tradition of perfumery. After studying their exclusive range of 35 essences, you’ll explore your own olfactory preferences and scent personality, before making your own signature fragrance under the guidance of the Maison’s expert perfumers. If scent is the most evocative sense linked to memory, then what better way to commemorate your stay in the Lion City?
