Recently crowned one of The World’s 50 Best Hotels, The Mark Hotel invites travellers to experience Manhattan at its most enchanting. This winter, the legendary Upper East Side landmark redefines cold-season travel, blending snow-dusted romance with unapologetic luxury and a distinctly modern sensibility.
Perfectly positioned just steps from Central Park, The Mark becomes a winter sanctuary where the city’s energy softens into something more intimate. Designed by Jacques Grange, the hotel’s signature black-and-white aesthetic feels especially cinematic against the backdrop of falling snow. Guests are immersed in a world where comfort is elevated to ritual, from 24-hour in-room dining by Jean-Georges Vongerichten to bespoke winter picnics curated for Central Park. Exclusive access to Bergdorf Goodman personal shoppers ensures coveted pieces, and hard-to-book reservations, and insider experiences are always within reach. Even the smallest details, from the Frédéric Fekkai salon to the hotel’s iconic pedicabs, speak to effortless opulence.
This month, The Mark transforms into one of New York’s most intimate Valentine’s Day destinations. Under the banner of L’Amour at The Mark, the hotel curates a series of romantic experiences designed to celebrate love through gastronomy, culture, and indulgence. At The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, couples are invited to enjoy a refined three-course prix-fixe menu, while Caviar Kaspia at The Mark offers an à la carte dining experience set to the soft rhythm of a live four-piece band, Parisian glamour meeting New York allure.
For one extraordinary couple, romance reaches its most extravagant expression inside The Mark’s legendary 10,000-square-foot Penthouse, the largest hotel penthouse in North America. The Penthouse Valentine’s Experience is a masterclass in exclusivity. From the moment of arrival, the space is transformed into a private haven, complete with red rose arrangements, champagne, and chocolate-covered strawberries. The experience includes an intimate dinner at Caviar Kaspia, a Jean-Georges breakfast served in-suite, custom monogrammed bathrobes, a private personal training session in the Penthouse’s Technogym, couples massages, Augustinus Bader spa treatments, and exclusive access to The Mark’s private terrace skating rink, an unforgettable skate framed by the New York skyline. Available with a two-night minimum stay, the experience begins at $200,000 plus tax.
Beyond romance, The Mark continues to position itself as a cultural hub. As part of its Valentine’s programming, the hotel partners with Assouline for a special activation celebrating the launch of Derrick Rose: The Poohprint. Taking place on February 14, 2026, the collaboration includes a gift-with-purchase moment at the Assouline Boutique at The Mark, with complimentary roses offered throughout the day in partnership with Rose’s Flower Shop.
This winter, The Mark invites travellers to rediscover New York through a lens of warmth, beauty, and intention. From quiet Central Park mornings to candlelit evenings steeped in romance, every moment is thoughtfully composed, an experience that captures the unmistakable magic of Manhattan in winter.
