The Mark reopens with new art deco motif

The Mark Hotel, the Alexico Group’s high-end hotel and residences at 25 East 77th Street and Madison Avenue, has officially reopened after a $150 million renovation by interior designer Jacques Grange. Grange gave the Upper East Side property an art deco-style upgrade, complete with marble soaking tubs, Italian linens by Quagliotti and Bang Olufson audio systems. Rates for this weekend range from roughly $495 per night for a courtyard queen-sized room to $3,815 per night for the Mark’s “premier two-bedroom suite,” a 1,640-square foot room with Central Park and city views, according to the hotel’s Web site. The Mark has 118 rooms for guests and 42 co-op apartments. [Hotel Chatter]
