Mandarin Oriental | 21st-Century Luxury Steeped in the Orient

Growing from its Asian roots to become a global brand, the Group currently has 37 hotels and nine residences in 25 countries and territories, with each property reflecting the Group's Oriental heritage, local culture, and unique design. For over 50 years, Mandarin Oriental has cemented its position as a trailblazer in luxury hospitality, boasting a remarkable legacy. The Mandarin, our flagship property in Hong Kong, began in 1963. It marked the start of our commitment to "completely delight and satisfy our guests." The hotel was unveiled as the tallest building on the island then. It swiftly garnered acclaim for its unparalleled service. The hotel earned an esteemed status as a timeless landmark. This distinction it upholds today. In 1974, a momentous milestone unfolded. The Oriental in Bangkok was already hailed as one of the globe's most fabled hotels. It was partially acquired by the Group. This strategic move gave rise to two extraordinary establishments whose names epitomize the pinnacle of hospitality. The amalgamation of these two illustrious hotels created a legendary brand. This brand is known as Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. It is symbolized by its renowned fan logo.

One-of-a-Kind Vintage Rugs | One Kings Lane

Step into a one-of-a-kind rug gallery where every piece carries the weight of history and the hand of its maker. These vintage rugs are singular works — woven decades, sometimes centuries ago — each imbued with the artistry, imperfections, and patina that only time can give. The dyes have mellowed into tones no modern loom can reproduce. The patterns speak in the dialect of their origin — a flourish from Tabriz, a medallion from Anatolia, a garden in bloom from Agra. No two are alike, and each is here for only as long as it remains unclaimed. For the collector, these are museum-grade acquisitions. For the design lover, they are the rare chance to anchor a room around something irreplaceable. And for anyone who hesitates, they are simply gone — their next chapter written in someone else’s home.
