The Mark

New York, USA

On Madison Avenue at 77th Street, this is Manhattan at its most polished, for families who want their city stay to feel as considered as everything else on the itinerary.

At a glance

The Mark sits on Madison Avenue at 77th Street, in the heart of the Upper East Side, a short walk from Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the city’s grandest shopping. Designed by Jacques Grange, with a lobby that has been called one of the most striking in New York, it is a hotel built around style, art and gastronomy rather than family programming, and that is worth saying plainly from the outset. There is no kids’ club and no stated minimum age policy, so this suits families looking for a sophisticated city base rather than a resort-style, activity-packed stay.

Within that design-led frame, though, the family touches are genuinely well considered rather than an afterthought: free Remote Control Sailboat sessions and signature bikes for all guests, a personalised in-suite slumber party for younger children, and museum tours tailored for ages 10 to 13, alongside suites and penthouses that scale up to several bedrooms for larger families or multiple generations. It suits families with older children and teenagers particularly well, and younger ones too, provided they’re happy with considered extras rather than a full children’s programme.

From £600/night*

*Prices from are indicative only - see Terms & Conditions for details.

Guest Rooms

37 to 46m², one queen or king bed (or two full beds in the Seventy-Seven Double), a single bathroom and no separate sleeping space, so best suited to a couple with one child sharing, rather than larger families.

Junior Suites

65 to 74m², a king or queen bedroom plus a sofa bed in the sitting area, two bathrooms. A sensible option for a family of three or four needing a little separation.

One-Bedroom Suites

74 to 93m² (Park Studio, Manhattan, Garden and Premier Suites), one king bed, no sofa bed, one to one and a half bathrooms. Best for a family with one child in an adjoining room rather than sharing.

Madison Suite

102m², a king bed plus sofa bed, two bathrooms, split across the Madison Avenue and East 77th Street corners.

Two-Bedroom Suites

143 to 152m² (Mark Suite and Premier Suite), a king and a queen bedroom, two and a half bathrooms. Properly comfortable for a family of four with genuine separate space.

Signature Suites

197 to 306m², from two to four bedrooms with a mix of king, queen and full beds, three and a half to four full bathrooms. The Four-Bedroom sleeps up to eight and suits multi-generational groups.

The Penthouse Collection

352 to 929m², up to four bedrooms, terraces and, in the case of The Mark Penthouse, a private dining room seating twelve. An exceptional choice for a large family or multi-generational celebration, with Central Park and skyline views.

Dining for all ages

The hotel’s three dining venues range from easy family dining to a more adult, after-dark atmosphere.

The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges – an all-day restaurant serving breakfast through to a late-night menu, with indoor and outdoor seating; the most natural choice for families at any time of day
The Mark Haute Dog Cart – an outdoor cart serving hot dogs daily, weather permitting, and a genuinely easy, unfussy option for younger children
The Mark Bar – a cocktail lounge by Jacques Grange, popular before dinner or after the theatre; this leans firmly adult and is not geared towards children
Caviar Kaspia at The Mark – an elegant caviar and champagne restaurant and bar; a sophisticated, adult-focused setting rather than a family one
Children’s menu available on request

Experiences for all ages

Beyond its dining, The Mark offers a handful of genuinely well-suited family experiences alongside its more adult pursuits.

The Mark Remote Control Sailboat is free for hotel guests, runs in 30-minute sessions on Central Park’s Conservatory Water, and is explicitly designed so all ages can enjoy it, with staff on hand to teach
The Mark Bikes, complimentary for guests, come with a helmet, lock and curated route map for riding through Central Park or further into the city; no minimum age or child-sized option is stated, so best suited to older children confident on a bike
Picnic in the Park by Jean-Georges delivers a gourmet picnic basket and Mark blanket for an outing in Central Park, available spring and summer; family suitability wasn’t stated, though the format (sandwiches, fruit tarts, cupcakes) suits children well
The Mark Haute Dog Cart serves hot dogs daily from 10:30am to 5:30pm, weather permitting, an easy option for younger appetites
The Mark Sailboat, a 70-foot Herreshoff vessel sailing from Chelsea Piers, offers two-hour summer harbour voyages via private charter or ticketed sail; this is a more grown-up outing and family suitability isn’t confirmed
Complimentary after-hours tours of the Met and the Frick Collection are included for guests booking Signature Suites or the Penthouse Collection
Museum tours of the Met are tailored specifically for guests aged 10 to 13
The In-Suite Slumber Party package brings a personalised tent, family movie night and treats directly to younger guests in-suite

Wellness for parents

A boutique-scale, treatment-led offering rather than a full spa resort.

A 1,400 sq ft (130m²) Fitness Center on the second floor, fitted with the latest Technogym equipment and exclusive to hotel guests; private personal training can be arranged through the Concierge
In-room massage and bodywork, including deep tissue, Swedish, Thai and sports recovery, plus a lymphatic massage designed to ease the effects of long-haul travel
Facials and skincare consultations in collaboration with Dr Barbara Sturm, and IV drips, both geared towards adult guests
The Frédéric Fekkai Hair Salon operates within the hotel, also for adult guests
No age restrictions for treatments on gym use
