"An haute hideaway on Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1927, the venerable Mark reopened last fall with a radical new look, trading in its erstwhile French pedigree for Parisian pop."
Fodor's
"If you took every Upper East Side real estate fantasy and condensed it into a modern hotel, you'd come up with the Mark."

Jetsetter
"Classic Upper East Side boutique famous for its European grandeur, detail-oriented service, and celebrity clientele one block from Central Park."
