(Redirected from Mandarin Oriental)
The 'Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group' (MOHG) is a hotel management company which is part of Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited and is formally known as Mandarin Oriental International Limited.
The first hotel of the Group "The Mandarin" opened in Hong Kong in September, 1963. The group began its expansion in Asia in 1974 as the "Mandarin International Hotels Limited" and acquired a 49% interest in "The Oriental" Hotel in Bangkok, also a legendary property. The trademark 11-bladed gold fan logo was created in 1987. Mandarin Oriental bought The Mark Hotel which is a renowned hotel in the Upper East side of New York, but later sold it because they used it to establish their name before the Mandarin Oriental New York opened in the Time Warner Center.
The company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 1987 under the name "Mandarin Oriental International Limited". On 20 February 1991, it was listed on the Singapore Exchange. Mandarin Oriental delisted its shares in Hong Kong in January 1995 along with its parent Jardine Matheson Holdings Ltd. and all but one of Jardine's other publicly traded units.
The group operates 20 hotels around the world, with an additional 14 under various stages of development.
The Hong Kong Mandarin Oriental and Bangkok (The Oriental) locations are currently the most renowned Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group properties.
