The Mark

Set in the exclusive Upper East Side on the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue, the super-stylish Mark is just a well-dressed stroll from a convoy of high-end boutiques, including Vera Wang, Missoni and Christian Louboutin. While the glamorous lobby makes a bold statement with its striped marble flooring and abstract artwork, the rooms and suites are more calming and understated, ranging in size from comfortable doubles to a five-bedroom penthouse. The restaurant by acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten holds its own against any in the city, while experiences range from cycling to Central Park with a picnic prepared by Jean-Georges himself to private pedicab tours of Manhattan’s top shops, museums and galleries.
