On 9 February 2009, the Beijing Television Cultural Center, which was to be completed in May 2009 [16] and incorporate a Mandarin Oriental hotel, caught fire due to unauthorized fireworks celebrating the Chinese New Year. One fireman died in the incident, and the structure was severely damaged but did not collapse and underwent repair. [17] [18] However, the Mandarin Oriental hotel ultimately opened at a different location at Wangfujing, near the Beijing Hotel.

Hyde Park fire (2018)

On 6 June 2018, a fire (believed to have been caused by welding work) damaged the park-facing exterior of the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London.
