We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Boasting a lobby with bold black-and-white marble floors and plush velvet settees, plus guest rooms designed in a calming neutral color palette with dark wood trim and textured fabric wallpaper with crown molding, The Mark is one of New York’s chicest retreats, having been decorated top-to-bottom by French designer Jacques Grange.

In the heart of the Upper East Side and steps from Madison Avenue shopping and museums like The Whitney, the hotel offers an ideal base for discovering Uptown Manhattan and displays a unique, boutique vibe, perfect for the fashion-forward set or those who shun larger chains.

Yet there’s plenty to explore in the hotel itself, including dining at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's The Mark Restaurant, reserving a table at New York’s first Caviar Kaspia, booking a hair appointment at the esteemed Frédéric Fekkai salon, or indulging in a bit of bubbly at the ’60s-inspired Mark Bar, outfitted with twinkling lights and playful furniture by Vladimir Kagan.

Our Inspector's Highlights

At The Mark, you’re just minutes from the best of Madison Avenue’s shopping, Central Park’s jogging paths and bike routes and the city’s best collections of art at Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
The Mark’s interiors — both in the guest rooms and in the lobby areas — blend of classic elegance with modern art to impeccably stylish results.
The hotel’s concierges are well-informed about New York’s top restaurants and boutiques, and will happily assist you with whatever you need, be it a personal shopper or dinner reservation.
Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s restaurant, located on the ground floor of the luxury New York hotel, offers seasonal American cuisine with the occasional Asian influence.
We love the spacious Art Deco-style, black-and-white marble bathrooms accented with pale green cabinetry at The Mark, especially the towel warmers.

Things to Know

The gym at The Mark is staffed by friendly attendants; they’ll help tailor your workout or stretch you out after a run on the treadmill.
If you have a dog, the luxury hotel sets up a little pet area in your room complete with a plush bed for your pooch, food and water bowls and treats.
There is neither a pool nor sauna facilities at the The Mark. However, the concierge will happily arrange spa visits, and the hotel does boast a salon from one of New York's top stylists, Frédéric Fekkai, with services from haircuts to makeup application.
The hotel is delightfully situated near some of the city's top attractions. Museum Mile (The Guggenheim, The Met), Central Park and Madison Avenue shopping isn't far from your room.

The Rooms

Guest rooms at The Mark are designed by Jacques Grange and are a calming blend of classic and Art Deco design accented with modern art.
Rooms at this hotel have been fashioned with a cream color palette, featuring pale cabinetry with dark wood trim throughout, plus lighter-colored wood desks and side tables.
Textured fabric wallpaper in hues of creamy tan, pear-green drapes, and attractive crown molding create an ambiance of classic elegance reflective of the hotel’s Upper East Side neighborhood.
All bathrooms come equipped with double sinks, towel warmers and in-mirror television consoles, while tub and shower fixtures are accented with stylish nickel fixtures from Lefroy Brooks.

The Restaurants

Helmed by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges remains the key dining spot in The Mark, open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
Choose to sit in the casual front lounge area, where the bar is, or go a little more upscale in the main room, where the tables get clothed and the booths are dressed in velvet.
Either way, both spots offer fine-dining service and the same market-driven, seasonal food with French flair. Think crispy octopus with fennel herb salad, parmesan crusted chicken with artichokes or grilled black sea bass with Cerignola olives.
You can also get anything off the menu delivered to your room at the hotel, or, for an informal bite during the day, head to the Mark Bar, located right in front of the restaurant.
Paris’ Caviar Kaspia has opened its first New York location at The Mark. The restaurant celebrates the “art of caviar” through a menu that includes the cult favorite twice-baked potato topped with caviar, blinis with smoked salmon, vegetarian caviar made from liquified and spherized truffle, and much more.
