Mandarin Oriental Winter special
 

I got a letter from Travel & Leisure (I don't know how I got this magazine) and they said that readers chose the Oriental Bangkok as the premier hotel in the world, Kahala Oriental in Oahu #76, The Oriental Hong Kong #6 in Asia and the Oriental San Francisco as #31 in the U.S.

In honor of that, T&L readers can choose some special rates at Orientals (and other hotels in their chain) around the world and get the same rate for single or double occ., daily American breakfast, last checkout and complimentary beds for kids.

Mandarin Oriental opened a 329-room hotel on Brickell Key in Miami. Portions of its $100 million structure are still under construction and the official grand opening isn't scheduled until March 31, 2001.

Early-bird guests are being offered a $180 nightly rate. For information, call 866-888-6780.
