"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."

"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."

"Sophisticated decor includes oversize paneled walnut headboards, a sleek neutral color palette and fur throw-covered beds."
Zagat
"The historic MetLife clock tower overlooking Madison Square Park has been revived as a luxury hotel whose understated vibe stands in stark contrast to the bustle of NoMad just outside its doors."
Travel + Leisure
"The 273 rooms have sleek furniture and sizable showers, and many look out on the Empire State Building."

"This was once the tallest building in the world and modelled after the bell tower of Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Today, it’s a modern, airy clubhouse."

Mr & Mrs Smith
"It’s bang on Madison Square, literally eye-to-eye with the Flatiron, but you’ll not hear one siren squeal; one yellow cab beep; or even the shouts from an overzealous frat party."

"The Edition is a couple hundred dollars less than the luxury mainstays you'd find further uptown, but it's just as comfortable."

"The historic 1909 Met Life clocktower that the property resides in is a highlight in itself, while another top perk is the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant."

"Based around the “hotel as a private home,” this is the sort of house you hope to get invited to dinner."

Should the Lobby Bar be too much of a scene, jog upstairs to the Bar, adjacent to Clocktower, for pints and flights and a round of pool.
