"Tucked between Fifth and Madison Avenues on the Upper East Side, the Mark is a luxe, design-forward hotel whose Jacques Grange interiors and doorstep location—minutes from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim—define a quintessential Manhattan stay; its standout asset is chief concierge Maria Wittorp, a Stockholm-born hospitality veteran who, after starting as a butler in 1991, now crafts highly personalized, behind-the-scenes New York experiences for guests (rooms from $1,250). The hotel arranges everything from private after-hours museum access and Jean-Georges picnics in the park to sunset sails aboard its vintage 70-foot Herreshoff and VIP shopping moments, all calibrated to individual interests and often requiring 48–72 hours’ notice." - John Wogan
"Checking in a plus one with four legs? Be sure to book the For Furry Friends experience at The Mark, and your pup will be presented with The Mark’s Woof Woof Kits, which include a The Mark doggy collar, leash, waste bags, and to-go water bowls. With a staff who will gladly walk your pet through nearby Central Park, The Mark also offers luxe day beds by Molly Mutt, signature water bowls, and custom placemats. But the real cherry on top (quite literally) is the food offering. Just take the “Spoiled Dog’s Menu” by Chef Jean-Georges, which is an in-room dining menu featuring gourmet bites and pet-friendly desserts." - Lilah Ramzi
"With impeccable, pup-friendly service, a Jean-Georges canine in-room dining menu, beautifully branded dog bowls and beds, and prime park access, it’s arguably the best and most dog-friendly hotel in New York, and it ain’t bad for humans, either." - Alessandra Codinha
"Made from 100 percent Egyptian cotton with a soft exterior and towel-like interior for immediate absorbency after bathing. Lightweight yet sufficiently warm for year-round use, it features two adjustable belt loops for a secure fit, deep front pockets, a monogrammed logo, and piping details for a refined finish. Testing showed minimal shrinkage or discoloration after washing, though sleeve length can feel slightly short during active movement. Sizes range from children (ages 2–4) to adult; machine washable." - Alesandra Dubin Alesandra Dubin Alesandra Dubin is an LA-based lifestyle writer and editor.

"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
