Parisian designer Jacques Grange was the prince who awoke the fine elegance of this hotel from its slumbers under mountains of chintz. This hotel has a rich tradition, which Grange retained while giving it a hint of Downtown by adding bold geometric shapes and patterns. The 100 rooms and 50 suites display a restrained elegance with modern velvet sofas and Art Deco-style lamps. The Mark is well on its way to becoming one of the most sought-after addresses in New York, thanks in no small part to Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s fine dining restaurant.
