The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Review
Located atop the Landmark shopping complex and popular with designers who have shops there, this small hotel has a contemporary yet laid-back, refined atmosphere, with lobby seating grouped in a library setting and a stylish bar attracting a well-heeled crowd. Though the nightlife district is within staggering distance, it's hard to imagine guests here taking advantage of it. Rather, the focus is on state-of-the-art guest rooms, which measure 42 or 56 sq. m (452 or 603 sq. ft.); their stunning, glass-walled bathrooms, which take up about a third of the room's space, are what really takes the cake. Big enough to live in, they have two separate vanities and dual sinks, shower stall, TV, and a huge, round tub. Unfortunately, surrounding buildings can make guests feel like they're living in a fish bowl. One unwitting guest closed the sheers upon check-in but forgot to close the block-out drapes during her nighttime bath, discovering her faux pas only the next morning. Though there are no views from this hotel, the same may not be said, perhaps, for office workers across the street.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
