"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

"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."

Gayot
"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."

Michelin Guide
"In case the red coat- and top hat-wearing doormen haven't convinced you, the crackling fireplace and clubby interiors will certainly encourage you to sit and relax awhile."
Concierge
"Entertainment industry folk have been flocking to the Bowery Hotel since its opening last spring. And it's no wonder... this stretch of the Lower East Side is quickly shedding its infamous grit."
Fodor's
"Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe."

DK Eyewitness
"An opulent 17-story hotel, it features lobby fireplaces and wood-paneled elevators, floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, and seven rooms with private terraces, hot tubs, and outdoor showers."
Time Out
"This fanciful boutique hotel from prominent hospitality duo Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson is the capstone in the gentrification of the Bowery."

Star Service
"This hotel looks like it could have been a stage set from Gangs of New York, a retro-boho Victorian throw-down that definitely effuses its own style."

Gayot
"The surrounding area may feel more modern --- and far more chichi -- than it has in past years, but inside old NYC comes alive."
