The Mark

The Mark, known for its impressive celebrity clientele, entices the fashion-conscious with almost tangible magnetism. Why? Because ostentatious design elements are combined with more modern and zealous aesthetic choices. Yes, there is black-and-white decor and marble features, but it is all punctuated by vibrant orange hues in the form of flora, wallpapers, and soft furnishings. In a nutshell, it looks fantastic.

From the quick check-in to the simple check-out, the entire operation is slick and polished. The bath in the suites is luxuriously deep, and the wifi is fast. Furthermore, the fine dining restaurant and bar offerings are overseen by culinary wonderboy Jean-Georges Vongerichten, so expect an eclectic menu with dishes like hamachi sashimi, Scottish salmon, and parmesan-crusted chicken with artichokes and lemon-basil butter. Delicious.

You're only a five-minute walk from Central Park and close to the Guggenheim, The Met, and the rest of Museum Mile, making it ideal for a few days of culture. While the Upper East Side's gleaming streets attract tourists and out-of-town visitors, it's The Mark's flamboyance that keeps them coming back.
