"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."

And while sheiks and CEOs settling into the suites will find it difficult to choose where to bunk—New York Palace, Ritz-Carlton Central Park, Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental—arrivals headed to Standard and Deluxe rooms will find this to be the perhaps the best of the bunch.
