Strategically positioned on the corner of Madison Avenue and 77th Street, The Mark Hotel New York has established itself as the epitome of refined luxury in Manhattan. This 1920s landmark building merges historic charm with bold, contemporary design to create an atmosphere that’s both sophisticated and inviting. Recently awarded two Michelin Keys, The Mark Hotel New York’s reputation for excellence continues to grow among discerning travellers seeking an authentic Manhattan experience.
Where French elegance meets New York energy
The Mark Hotel New York’s transformation under legendary French designer Jacques Grange has resulted in spaces that feel both timeless and thoroughly modern. Grange collaborated with Parisian antiquaire Pierre Passebon to curate a collection of custom furnishings and art pieces from renowned creators including Ron Arad, Vladimir Kagan and Karl Lagerfeld. This thoughtful design approach creates interiors that feel more like an art collector’s residence than a traditional hotel, with each space offering its own distinct personality.
Walking through the black and white striped marble lobby instantly transports guests into a world of artistic sophistication that sets the tone for the entire stay. The bold aesthetics complement rather than overshadow the building’s architectural heritage, creating a harmonious blend of old and new that feels quintessentially New York.
Unparalleled accommodation options

The Mark Hotel New York offers 106 guest rooms and 47 suites, each designed with Jacques Grange’s signature style that balances luxury with comfort. The accommodations feature custom furnishings, Italian linens and spacious marble bathrooms that create a serene retreat from the city’s energy.
For those seeking the ultimate indulgence, The Mark Penthouse stands as North America’s largest hotel penthouse at 10,000 square feet across the top two floors. This extraordinary suite features five bedrooms, four fireplaces, a grand dining room, and a private 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace with spectacular views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. It’s no wonder the penthouse has become the preferred choice for celebrities and dignitaries requiring privacy and space.
A culinary destination with Michelin pedigree
Dining at The Mark Hotel New York is an experience that rivals the city’s standalone restaurants, thanks to a collaboration with Michelin-praised chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges offers innovative European classics in a stylish setting, with both indoor dining and a coveted outdoor terrace on Madison Avenue for people-watching.
The recent addition of Caviar Kaspia brings the legendary Parisian institution’s first New York outpost to The Mark. Here, guests can indulge in signature caviar dishes including the iconic twice-baked potato or the inventive Potato Rosti Crust Caviar Pizza. For a more casual yet equally refined experience, the hotel’s outdoor pop-up abcV serves delightful plant-based dishes until the end of October.
After dinner, The Mark Bar beckons with its sophisticated ambience and expertly crafted cocktails, making it a favoured meeting spot for both hotel guests and Upper East Side residents.
Beyond the ordinary: unique experiences

What truly distinguishes The Mark Hotel New York is its commitment to offering experiences that go beyond traditional luxury hotel amenities. Guests can explore New York Harbor aboard The Mark Sailboat, a 70-foot Herreshoff S-Boat offering private two-hour journeys with gourmet bites from Jean-Georges’ kitchen or Caviar Kaspia.
Fashion enthusiasts appreciate the hotel’s private shopping experience at Bergdorf Goodman, with The Mark Pedicab providing transportation to after-hours access to personal shoppers at the iconic department store. Even a simple hot dog becomes an elevated experience with The Mark’s year-round Haute Dog Cart, featuring gourmet organic chicken and grass-fed beef options with unique condiments.
The hotel extends its thoughtful approach to amenities for all guests, including the youngest visitors and four-legged companions. Families enjoy custom-designed Maclaren strollers and “The Mark’s Slumber Party” suite special with a customised tent setup. Meanwhile, pets receive the VIP treatment with cosy dog beds, signature water bowls and a “Spoiled Dog’s Menu” crafted by Chef Jean-Georges himself.
