- NEW YORK (Reuters) - Forget
puttin' on the Ritz. Try puttin' on the Mandarin Oriental.

- New York's new Mandarin Oriental 250-room hotel offers
a suite with a $12,595 nightly pricetag, beating out the Ritz-Carlton by
almost $100 as the costliest overnight lodging in the Big Apple.
-
- The Mandarin's Presidential Suite, set to open to the
public in January, includes a full kitchen, formal dining room, living
room with high-definition flat-screen LCD televisions, baby grand piano,
panoramic views of Central Park and the Hudson River and Asian-themed art
worth almost $1 million.
-
- The wood-paneled suite includes high-tech surround sound,
an entertainment system, wet bar, office/media room and French-marbled
foyer floors. The master bath has a two-person steam shower and a deep-soaking
tub overlooking the park.

ribbon-cutting ceremony at the hotel on Monday.
