The hotel sits on the top 19 floors of the 55-storey Deutsche Bank Center tower – which is also home to some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities.
A building employee told Daily News: “The marquee cut him in half.”
The man’s arm was found across the street, New York Post reports.
Construction scaffolding was also reportedly seen dripping with blood.
Police at the scene said the man was wearing pyjama bottoms, a T-shirt and slippers.
He’s not believed to have been a guest at the luxury hotel.
It’s understood he took a service elevator to the roof before jumping.
He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9pm on Thursday.
No one else was injured and the man’s death is not being treated as suspicious, police said.
A standard room with a Central Park View at the Mandarin Oriental can cost more than of $1,195 (£938).
Actress Cynthia Nixon, model Gisele Bundchen and musician Jay-Z are among the A-listers who once owned residences in the tower, which lies on “Billionaire’s Row”.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
If you, or anyone you know, needs help dealing with mental health problems, the following organisations provide support:
