A soft re-opening for The Mark with rooms from $425

When The Mark closed for renovations, it basked in stories that it would luxuriously reopen with no room priced under $1,000 per night.

But a funny little recession happened while the building was closed for its upscale condo/hotel conversion. The Mark is now in its soft opening phase with rooms offered at a “special promotion” rate of $425 a night.

Some construction will continue until fall when The Mark opens its restaurant, Mark’s Bar, Club Room, fitness center and Frédéric Fekkai Beauty Salon, a hotel spokeswoman told NewYorkology.

The hotel, situated on floors two through eight, has 100 rooms plus 18 suites. Regular rooms are 400- to 500 square feet while suites start at 800 square feet.

The hotel has free wi-fi and high speed Internet in rooms and public spaces. Rooms feature 32-inch HD LCD flat-screen TVs, iPod, MP3 and laptop connectivity; bars with SubZero equipment and Crestron touch screen room control panel. Some rooms have walk‐in closets.

The bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs, separate showers, a double vanity, marble slab walls and nickel-plated fixtures.

The hotel car is a Bentley Silver Spur.

The Mark is located on the Upper East Side, a block from Central Park at 25 E. 77th St., map.
