I can responsibly say that this price will not be seen again in the next 3 years!

I went to Hong Kong to cover the reopening of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, which is the feature for today.
No exaggeration at all—this is the kind of weight The Landmark Mandarin Oriental carries. Its grand reopening is a big deal in the domestic hotel scene, and it’s finally, finally back.
Today, it’s all about Ctrip. Ctrip did two things.
-
They secured the reopening launch package for The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. And I chatted with someone from the hotel who made it very clear that future packages won’t be cheaper than this.
-
They added a subsidy—500 yuan off per booking. Buy two separate single-night bookings, and that’s 1,000 yuan off. That’s a solid deal.
I can say with full confidence that unless some black swan event happens, this price for The Landmark Mandarin Oriental will be the lowest you’ll see for the next three years.
Let me list the products first.
The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong L450 Superior Room, 1 night without breakfast: 3,137 yuan (2,637 yuan with coupon); 1 night with breakfast: 3,490 yuan (2,990 yuan with coupon). L600 Deluxe Room, 1 night without breakfast: 3,660 yuan (3,160 yuan with coupon); 1 night with breakfast: 4,013 yuan (3,513 yuan with coupon). L900 Suite, 1 night without breakfast: 7,669 yuan (7,169 yuan with coupon); 1 night with breakfast: 8,022 yuan (7,522 yuan with coupon).
Validity: June 1 to December 31, 2026. No surcharges for summer, National Day, Christmas, or weekends.
Remember to grab the coupon first—500 yuan off. Each person can get two coupons, so I recommend booking one night at a time. That way, you save 500 yuan per night.
Compared to the calendar price, it’s less than 30% off, and I picked the cheapest dates on The Landmark Mandarin Oriental’s calendar. This package has no surcharges for any dates, so the gap will be even bigger during summer, National Day, and Christmas-New Year.
I suggest going for the package with breakfast because MO’s breakfast is worth it.
There’s another big reason I can’t say outright—if you check in during June, breakfast will be a real surprise.
It’s worth a post on your Moments, and it’s an experience you can’t replicate. Trust me.
Now, let me dive into the highlights of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.
Location
It’s at the Landmark in Central—prime real estate, ridiculously expensive. Cartier, Hermès, Chanel, Dior, Hermès, LV—all the global flagship stores are packed here.
To run a hotel in a spot like this for nearly 20 years and still get everyone talking when it reopens—that itself is an achievement.
Dining
The dining at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental? I’m telling you, it’s next-level across Asia.
Across all of Hong Kong, no other hotel has seven Michelin stars on just one floor (Amber with three, Sushi Shikon with three, and Kappo Rin with one). The two without stars (SOMM and BLANC DE NOIRS) are also hugely famous.
Design
The designer of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental is Joyce Wang, a local Hong Kong native with a background from MIT’s architecture department.
She handled the 2016 renovation, and this is her second time. She knows the hotel inside out.
The relaunched Landmark Mandarin Oriental is genuinely stunning.
The Mandarin Oriental brand’s status in the hotel industry is truly top-tier.
Mandarin Oriental started in Asia, with dual origins in Hong Kong and Bangkok. It now has 50 hotels globally (three more pending), not a huge number, but each one is a gem.
The brand has always kept a low-key, understated vibe. It’s not flashy, but every detail holds up to scrutiny.
Let me list the products again.
Since there’s a 500-yuan coupon and each person can get two, I recommend going for single-night bookings for the best value.
The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong L450 Superior Room, 1 night without breakfast: 3,137 yuan (2,637 yuan with coupon); 1 night with breakfast: 3,490 yuan (2,990 yuan with coupon).
The L450 Superior Room is the entry-level room at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, covering 42 square meters. It might not sound huge, but in Central, that size is already a luxury.
Let me explain the L450—it means the room is 450 square feet. Similarly, L600 and L900 follow the same simple logic.
The room details are charming. Light-colored wooden floors, not the shiny new kind, but with an aged finish, carrying traces of time.
The walls use Fromental silk wallpaper, a high-end British brand with top-notch texture.
The carpet is custom-made, inspired by the historical brick patterns of old Hong Kong buildings—those red brick layouts you see everywhere in the city.
The headboard features quilted leather design, and the bedding uses Quivera 530-thread-count linen.
What does that thread count mean? Standard hotel bedding usually starts at around 200, and good ones hit 300. At 530, you’ll feel like, “How is this blanket so smooth and breathable?” when you lie down.

I definitely recommend going with the breakfast option—the price difference is a bit over 300 yuan. The Landmark Mandarin Oriental’s breakfast for two is always worth more than that 300-yuan gap.
And most importantly, if you stay in June, breakfast will be a unique experience.
As for how it’s upgraded, I can’t say, but it’s absolutely surprising—a special experience you won’t find anywhere in China.

The L600 is the second-tier room type and also The Landmark Mandarin Oriental’s signature room.
At 56 square meters, it has an open layout combining the living area and bedroom, giving it a small suite feel.
But my favorite design is in the L600 and above rooms—the soul of this room type is the bathroom, which keeps the hotel’s iconic glass-walled bathroom.
While soaking in the bathtub, you face a full curved glass window overlooking the Central cityscape.

The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong L900 Suite, 1 night without breakfast: 7,669 yuan (7,169 yuan with coupon); 1 night with breakfast: 8,022 yuan (7,522 yuan with coupon).
The L900 is a one-bedroom suite at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, 83 square meters. If you check the calendar, the average price is over 11,000 yuan per night. This one is a true suite layout with a separate living room, bedroom, and bathroom.
The separate living room has a luxury sofa and a private dining table, perfect for small-scale entertaining or work.
The bathroom is placed in the center of the room, not the traditional tucked-away kind, but an open circular space of nearly 20 square meters.
In the middle, there’s a round bathtub about 2.1 meters in diameter, more than enough for two people to share.
Honestly, this design is quite innovative—great for couples celebrating milestones or enjoying a romantic getaway.
Picture this: at night, you’re lying in the round bathtub, with Central’s dazzling nightscape outside, sipping red wine while soft music plays. You’re the coolest person in Central right then.
The bedroom has a king bed, quilted leather headboard, Art Deco style lamps—super comfortable.

The dining credit is great, the Mandarin Oriental’s restaurants are really amazing.
I checked the terms for the dining credit: it can be used for dinner at Amber, SOMM, in-room dining, BLANC DE NOIRS, Man Wah, The Aubrey, The Chinnery, or the newly opened Terrace Boulud at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental.
And because of the dining credit, MO said you get priority reservation rights (subject to availability).
I went and ate at several places this time.
Terrace Boulud by Mandarin Oriental
It just opened recently, a French terrace bistro run by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud.
The restaurant is on the 25th floor of the Landmark Prince’s Building in Central (not inside the Mandarin Oriental hotel), with a dedicated passage connecting to the Hong Kong Mandarin Oriental.
The design draws inspiration from the golden age of French bistros and luxury train journeys. Inside, there are curved wood panels, hand-carved details, and layered lighting.
At Terrace Boulud, you’re dining with the Victoria Harbour skyline. You absolutely must book this place—if the weather’s good, it’s packed every single day.
Amber
Amber has been renovated too, with a new wine cellar added.
Amber’s thing used to be the chef taking you into the kitchen, where one dish was prepared live for you to taste on the spot.
Now, they’re adding a wine-tasting experience in the cellar, cranking up the creativity even more.
Amber serves French cuisine, but I think it’s the most groundbreaking take on traditional French food. The chef has completely removed the soul of French cooking—butter, cream, and milk—and replaced them with vegetable oils, nut milk, and soy milk. They also cut down on refined sugar and salt, letting the natural flavors of the ingredients shine.
I ate there this time, and it was as solid as ever. Going into the kitchen and watching a three-star kitchen in action is fascinating, and the signature Aka Uni (red sea urchin) is still delicious.
I’d recommend going to Amber for lunch—the lunch set is better value.
BLANC DE NOIRS
A stunning champagne and cocktail bar that just opened on May 1st. It’s said to have one of the strongest champagne selections in Asia, with 25 champagnes by the glass and over 500 labels in the cellar, from rare vintages to small-producer gems. You can also order from Amber’s 3,000-label wine cellar.
The highlight is the Champagne Flights, where you can compare several different champagnes.
Besides champagne, they also serve snacks—refined but light, so it’s not too heavy overall.
SOMM
SOMM is the most laid-back of the five restaurants on the 7th floor of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental. Think of it as a casual version of Amber—same kitchen, better value. The food is French, but not the full tasting-menu fine dining of Amber; it’s more of a relaxed bistro vibe with à la carte options.
Also, you can use the credit at the Man Wah, the Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant on the 25th floor of the Hong Kong Mandarin Oriental, and the Japanese izakaya The Aubrey. These two are very close to the Mandarin Oriental, just a five-minute walk away.

Finally, I’m giving away a Mandarin Oriental folding fan.
They have this iconic folding fan as a symbol. It’s the most unique visual signature of the Mandarin Oriental brand, and each hotel designs its own fan based on its character.
Since the Landmark MO opens on June 1st, the fan I’m giving away is from the Hong Kong Mandarin Oriental.
Share your story with Mandarin Oriental in the comments—ideally about this Landmark MO—and we’ll pick one person to give the fan to.
Alright, that’s it for the product. Now it’s up to you.
Like I said in the title, I can responsibly say the Landmark MO won’t see this price in the next three years! There’s no way you’ll get both an opening promotion and a 500-yuan subsidy again.
And each person can claim the subsidy twice, so I’d recommend booking one night at a time.
One more thing: the Landmark MO doesn’t reopen until June 1st, and our shoot was on May 12th, so some public areas in the photos might not be fully finished (like missing some decorations). Please bear with us.
Don’t hesitate to book for the reopening—there are only 109 rooms but over 300 staff, all in place, and MO’s service is always top-notch.
Product details are based on the product page, so please check and read carefully.
Good at combining travel with aviation, hotels, and credit cards.
