The Mark Hotel New York

At the corner of Madison Avenue and East 77th Street stands The Mark, an Upper East Side landmark where Paris-meets-Manhattan glamour comes wrapped in an almost residential hush. Re-imagined in 2009 by French design icon Jacques Grange, the 16-storey property houses just 106 rooms and 46 suites, their high ceilings, ebony and sycamore millwork, and bold black-and-white marble floors evoking an art-deco townhouse rather than a traditional hotel. Even the entry-level Superior Courtyard King starts at 400 sq ft, while the five-bedroom Penthouse—at 10,000 sq ft with a 2,500-sq-ft terrace—remains the largest suite in the United States and a perennial Met Gala command centre.

Grange’s interiors are matched by a service philosophy that privileges invisibility over ostentation—a perfect fit for UHNW families, fashion houses, and diplomatic entourages who crave anonymity minutes from Central Park. A private entrance on 77th allows VIP NYC Transfers to stage Maybachs and Escalade ESVs curbside; bell staff sweep trunks directly to suites while your chauffeur syncs mobile updates with the front-desk team, ensuring every afternoon store visit or late-night gallery preview runs on the minute.

Dining & Nightlife. Culinary life revolves around The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges—a power-breakfast institution whose brioche French toast and quinoa-avocado bowls draw hedge-fund titans and Vogue editors in equal measure. Come evening, velvet-panelled The Mark Bar serves classic martinis beneath a celestial ceiling hand-painted by Karl Lagerfeld. When guests prefer privacy, Jean-Georges’ full menu travels upstairs via 24-hour in-suite dining or down the block inside a bespoke “Picnic in the Park” hamper—complete with monogrammed blanket and Bernardaud china—perfect for those sunset strolls VIP NYC Transfers can arrange around Bethesda Terrace.

Signature Experiences. The hotel’s “Live Like a New Yorker” ethos manifests in whimsical, only-at-The-Mark amenities. Guests may pedal custom-designed Republic Bikes along Museum Mile, zip to power lunches in striped Mark Pedicabs, or charter the hotel’s private 70-ft Herreshoff sailboat for summer cocktail cruises round the Statue of Liberty. Four-legged companions are indulged with an in-room Haute Dog menu by Jean-Georges and custom cashmere dog beds, a detail not lost on the Hollywood A-listers who transform The Mark into an unofficial kennel on Met Gala Monday.

Wellness & Beauty. While the Upper East Side teems with fitness studios, many guests never leave the building thanks to a 24-hour Technogym, private training staff, and the flagship Frédéric Fekkai Salon, where Oscar-winning stylists handle last-minute red-carpet blowouts and board-meeting make-overs alike. Massage therapists can be dispatched to suites within 30 minutes—ideal for jet-lagged executives arriving off overnight G650 flights that VIP NYC Transfers meets planeside at Teterboro.

Why it matters to VIP NYC Transfers clients.
The Mark’s location in one of Manhattan’s busiest residential corridors can snarl standard car-service arrivals, yet our chauffeurs leverage real-time feeds from our traffic ops centre to guarantee on-time theatre drops and LaGuardia sprints. Our in-suite check-in liaison coordinates with the concierge to pre-load your minibar with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2, dispatch garment bags to The Mark’s pressing team, and keep your preferred vehicle on standby for spontaneous Madison Avenue jewellery stops. Quite literally, you glide from jet bridge to suite to soirée without lifting a finger.
