EDITORIAL REVIEW
A member of the prestigious Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, The Mark has been cited as one of the top 100 U.S. and Canada hotels in a Travel + Leisure's readers' poll, and has consistently earned high marks among other publications, including Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report and the British edition of Condé Nast Traveler. The Mark occupies a 1926 Art Deco building on the Upper East Side where Madison Avenue meets East 77th Street. The building's distinctive tower has a peaked copper top, tinted by time to a soft green patina. Lacy gingko trees and flower boxes flank the main hotel entryways. The hotel is on a quiet, leafy street lined with handsome Gilded Age townhouses and mansions, and the intimate marble lobby reflects that residential ambience. Guests from around the world include executives who appreciate the Upper East Side location and celebrities seeking discretion and privacy.
The hotel's destination restaurant, Mark's, serves sophisticated fare in an intimate room with British-influenced decor. Afternoon tea is a highlight. Designer boutiques within a two-block radius include Vera Wang, Michael Kors, Missoni, Issey Miyake, and Caroline Herrera.
Half a block away, Manhattan's Museum Mile lines Upper Fifth Avenue. But notable art can also be seen—and purchased—at Adelson Galleries on the hotel's third floor. Adelson specializes in 19th- and 20th-century American art, with a focus on Impressionist masters. You are only steps away here from the fashionable boutiques of Madison Avenue as well as Central Park.
A black-marble spiral staircase leads from the lobby to the second floor, where guests will find the glass-roofed Greenhouse and other meeting and banquet rooms. The business center on the fifth floor features two computers with 17-inch flat-panel displays. A daily fee includes high-speed Internet access, copying, printing, faxing, and beverages. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to Wall Street weekday mornings and the Theater District on Friday and Saturday evenings.
