Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group International Limited is a multinational hospitality and management group focusing on luxury hotels,resorts,and residences,with a total of 34 properties worldwide, [2] 20 of which it wholly or partially owns. [3]
The Mandarin Oriental name was established in 1985 following the merger of Mandarin International Hotels Limited and the holding company of the hotel The Oriental, [4] [5] in which Mandarin had already acquired a 49% stake in 1974. [6] Mandarin's history traces back to the 1963 opening of its namesake hotel The Mandarin (now Mandarin Oriental,Hong Kong), [6] whereas The Oriental (now Mandarin Oriental,Bangkok) had opened in 1876 as the Kingdom of Siam's first luxury hotel. [7]
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is a subsidiary of the publicly-traded Mandarin Oriental International Limited,which in turn is a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson.
Although 1876 was the ‘official’opening year of the Oriental Hotel,the origin of the ‘Oriental’side of the Mandarin Oriental can be traced back as early as 1863,when two Americans,Captain Atkins Dyer,and William West,opened the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok,Siam (now Thailand):however,the original building burnt down only two years later,on 11 June 1865. [8]
In 1974,Mandarin International Hotels Limited was formed as a hotel management company to expand into Asia. That year,the company acquired a 49% interest in the Oriental Hotel,resulting in two "flagship" hotels. [9]
In 1985,the company combined the two hotels under a common name,Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. In 1987,Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group was floated on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong under the name of "Mandarin Oriental International Limited." Mandarin Oriental International Limited,is incorporated in Bermuda,and listed in London,Singapore and Bermuda. Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group Limited,which operates from Hong Kong,manages the activities of the group's hotels. [2]

[10] In June 2006,the Moments of Delight video was slightly updated to add several new scenes [11] and in October 2014,the video featured lyrics by Chinese singer,Sa Ding Ding,accompanied by new music. [12]

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.

[17] [18] However, the Mandarin Oriental hotel ultimately opened at a different location at Wangfujing, near the Beijing Hotel.
