"Classic, timeless Upper East Side poshness gets a modern gloss here, thanks to an extremely thorough renovation that proves old money needn’t mean old-fashioned. The lobby dazzles in Deco-flavored black and white, the rooms keep things subtle, and the overall elegance is stylish without shouting. On-site, the Mark Restaurant by Jean‑Georges underscores the contemporary attitude, trading stodgy rituals for a menu that can hold its own against anyone in the city." - Michael He
