The Mark
The Mark is housed, as it has always been, in the beautiful, 1927 landmark building at the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue. But inside, The Mark has been completely reimagined, and given a new life and identity for the 21st century. Situated on one of the Upper East Side's best blocks, surrounded by New York's premier museums, shops and restaurants, and the splendor of Central Park, The Mark not only surrounds you in luxury and style, it places you at the epicenter of Manhattan's social and cultural riches.
Designed by Jacques Grange and with impeccable service under the perfectionist eye of veteran luxury hotel manager James Sherwin, The Mark combines old-world comfort, avant-garde design, the latest technologies and an unprecedented level of personal service to create the finest five-star hotel of the 21st-century.
Each of The Mark’s 150 suites and guest rooms is a symphony in understated elegance, with the most luxurious Italian bedding and linen and furnishings in ebony, sycamore and nickel. The black-and-white marble-sheathed bathrooms evoke Art Deco glamour. They feature deep-soaking tubs, Flemish-made towels and heated towel racks, and polished nickel fittings by the British maker LeFroy Brooks; most offer a separate glass-enclosed shower. The private bars in each room feature Sub-Zero refrigeration and black granite bar counters, and can be stocked with a personalized selection of refreshments. The lighting, shades, temperature and audio/visual system can all be controlled with a single touch via a Crestron remote touch-screen. They can also be adjusted manually, if desired. The beds are custom-made for The Mark, the duvet and pillows are filled with American white goose down, and the linens are by Quagliotti, the renowned Italian textile maker.
