Item Description

Enjoy a two-night stay at the Mark Hotel in a Seventy Seven King with dinner for two at The Mark restaurant by Jean-Georges.

The Mark is housed, as it has always been, in the beautiful, 1927 landmark building at the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue. But inside, The Mark has been completely reimagined, and given a new life and identity for the 21st century.

The once-stuffy aesthetic of this storied hotel has been replaced by a new, artsy type of Upper East Side style. And it’s more than a tad French, too, courtesy of designer Jacques Grange. After a gut renovation, Grange infused the Mark (which is split between hotel rooms/suites and residences) with his signature bold, geometric, color-splashy shapes and forms. Nowhere is that more evident than in the lobby, with the hotel’s signature design statement: a marble floor in ultralong, thin black-and-white stripes, flanked by accents like polished-nickel Mattia Bonnetti wall sconces and Paul Mathieu sofas. The 100 guest rooms and 50 suites carry that design theme forward, with Todd Eberle photographs, Quagliotti bed linens, coffered ceilings, and touch-screen panels controlling temperature, audio-visual components, and even the shades. “Studio rooms” and suites have custom kitchens, designed by Pierro Lissoni for Boffi, with black granite countertops and Miele dishwashers. The bathrooms are mini-spa retreats, with Lefroy Brooks fixtures and black-and-white striped marble floors that mimic that of the lobby. Downstairs, the Mark Bar has been transformed into a trippy, whimsical design achievement, and there’s 24-hour room service courtesy of Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten brings his unbridled passion for fresh from the market, simple cooking to the reopening of The Mark Hotel. A world class menu of subtly innovative European classics as well as Jean-Georges’ signature global seasonings will be sure to satisfy cravings for both simple and eclectic palates alike. The bar serves hand crafted classic and signature cocktails. Showcased in a copper and glass wine wall in the dining room are a collection of boutique and familiar food friendly wines from around the world, focusing on value and diversity. The comfortable yet elegant dining room promises to be both a neighborhood favorite and a connoisseur’s destination.
