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.
Marketing[edit]
Starting in September 2005, Mandarin Oriental showed the "Moments of Delight at Mandarin Oriental" at all hotels.[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]
Incidents[edit]
Leslie Cheung suicide (2003)[edit]
On 1 April 2003, singer, actor, and film producer Leslie Cheung leaped to his death from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental in Central Hong Kong.[17] Every year, on the anniversary of his death, a fan-organised memorial event takes place outside the hotel.[18]
