"This hotel really lives up to its claims of sophistication and elegance."
Michelin Guide

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."

"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."

Rough Guide
"With the High Line running under it, fabulous views from its rooms and a bevy of trendy food and nightlife options on hand, André Balazs’ Standard Hotel is just about too hip for its own..."
Michelin Guide
"The rooms are the very definition of clean and uncluttered contemporary design sprinkled with the sexy styling of the 1950s."
Concierge
"Despite its location and never-ending buzz, this is one of the city's relatively reasonable hotels, made clear by the unmemorable yet inoffensive Design Within Reach–style decor."
Oyster
Upscale
"Offers 338 light-flooded, ultra-mod rooms with panoramic views of the city; one restaurant, several popular bars; and excellent service."

"Practically every room has stunning skyline or Hudson River vistas. Vast swaths of glass work to that end."

Time Out
"Straddling the High Line, the retro 18-story structure has been configured to give each room an exhilarating view, either of the river or a midtown cityscape."

"The High Line Hotel has a venerable verve and a laidback aesthetic that works well with its coffeehouse decor."
