The Mark

In a city where excellence is expected, The Mark stands alone. This year marks a century since The Mark’s first iteration opened in New York City. Since then, it has become an uptown institution renowned for its discreet celebrity clientele, elevated culinary experiences, and unique positioning as the city’s most elegant, yet “boldly lavish,” destination. And, of course, as the first book on the legendary hotel, The Mark is as glamorous and playful as the property itself. 

Written by New York Times best-selling author Derek C. Blasberg, the hospitality coffee table book offers readers an insider tour of this Upper East Side icon, which is part pied-à-terre, part discreet clubhouse for its sophisticated guests. In 2005, the hotel was reimagined by interior designer Jacques Grange. Preserving its landmark status while modernizing its interior, Grange brought his high-French style to all public spaces and to each of the 153 rooms, blending striking contemporary design with understated comfort. To enhance his vision, he convened an extraordinary circle of creative artisans and luminaries, including the likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Guy de Rougemont, Paul Mathieu, and Mattia Bonetti, whose bespoke furnishings further enriched the new life given to this legendary hotel.

As the Met Gala’s iconic prelude throughout the years, The Mark has solidified its role as the unofficial headquarters for fashion’s biggest night. Curated experiences (such as a private sailboat and a custom pedicab, also known as the ‘Bergdorf Goodman Express’) and North America’s largest penthouse suite magically capture the hotel’s singular blend of personality, luxury, and wit.

Bringing together beloved destinations for beauty, dining, and leisure, including Frédéric Fekkai’s flagship salon, Caviar Kaspia at The Mark, The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, the elegant Mark Bar, and an Assouline bookshop, the hotel serves as a true Upper East Side staple, adored by both global travelers and New Yorkers alike. The Mark embodies a rarefied sense of luxury.

Book Care Guidelines

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your book, we recommend the following:

* Handle with Care: Always use clean, dry hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover.
* Protect from Sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
* Store Properly: Keep books in a cool, dry place, upright on a flat surface, and away from heat or moisture.
* Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to clean the cover and page edges.
* Open with Caution: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, to prevent damage to the binding.
* Avoid Food and Drinks: Keep books away from liquids and food to prevent accidental spills and stains.
* ⁠Less Spine Stress: Bookstands support the spine without forcing it flat, which helps prevent cracking or warping.
