The Mark

A bold Upper East Side hotel by Madison Avenue, with Jacques Grange interiors, Jean-Georges dining and unusually polished dog-friendly details.

The Mark has Upper East Side confidence without the hush. It is bold, glossy and very aware that a hotel can be both a neighbourhood institution and a scene.

Awards, lively energy, terrace drinks, a dog-friendly approach and a restaurant with its own dog menu. The Mark sits at 25 East 77th Street by Madison Avenue, with its modern identity tied to Jacques Grange’s redesign and Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s restaurant. The dog-friendly note is not a throwaway flourish: The Mark is known for tailored canine amenities, including a dedicated menu by Jean-Georges.

The appeal is personality. Where some luxury hotels smooth every edge until nothing memorable remains, The Mark keeps a graphic, fashion-literate swagger. It suits travellers who want the Met, Central Park and Madison Avenue close, but prefer their base with a little strut.

Choose The Mark when New York calls for polish with pulse. Bring a suitcase with opinions. Bring the dog, if the dog has opinions too.
