The Mark underwent a thorough renovation, and the lobby and guest rooms are gorgeous. I'd recommend over the Carlyle. Both are Virtuoso (the Mark's amenities are listed below).
- Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
- Complimentary Continental breakfast daily for up to two in-room guests
- One US$100 Food & Beverage credit per room, per stay (not combinable, no cash value if not redeemed)
