Star
"This hotel really lives up to its claims of sophistication and elegance."
Michelin Guide
"The exterior reads Upper East Side formality, but inside, this hotel screams exuberance."
Frommer's
"There is nothing not to like here, with the exception of the steep rates: this kind of luxury does not come cheap."

Concierge
"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."

"On the corner of Madison Avenue at 77th Street, this rather showy Upper East Side (UES) address has settled into its revamp, but still manages to create a buzz."

"The exterior may be classic Upper East Side elegance, but peek through the front door, and within a second, you'll understand that there's more to this hotel than first meets the eye."
BlackBook
"Grand Hotel nods and general ‘30s Paris vibe. Subtle and serene, marked by discreet, attentive service."

"The Soho Grand is a trailblazer and the granddaddy of them all."
Concierge
"With its 2,000-square-foot penthouse lofts, the Soho Grand, the first luxury hotel in SoHo, is still the most dramatic."
Fodor's
"The SoHo Grand defines what SoHo is today—once pioneering, now expensive, and with a vaguely creative vibe."

"With chic decor and a youthful, almost-nightly party scene in the lounge, the Soho Grand offers an authentic but accessible taste of the hip downtown scene."

"Designer jeans are de rigueur in the second-floor Grand Bar & Lounge, a giant, fern-garnished corridor with chocolate-leather couches and floor-to-ceiling windows."

"If you're wondering why there's an antique stone dog trough at the door of this hotel, it's because this industrial-chic property is owned by pet food maker Hartz Mountain."
