The Mark – New York’s most boldly lavish hotel – has unveiled its collaboration with Assouline: a custom book celebrating the hotel’s legendary glamour and coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Jacques Grange’s transformative redesign. Written by New York Times bestselling author Derek Blasberg, the book offers an inside look at Grange’s visionary re-imagination, brought to life with bespoke pieces by creative luminaries including Karl Lagerfeld, Guy de Rougemont, Paul Mathieu, and Mattia Bonetti. It also spotlights the extraordinary guests and cultural figures who have shaped The Mark’s mythology, particularly its star-studded role as the unofficial home of the Met Gala. From Caviar Kaspia at The Mark and The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges to its storied penthouse, this new book captures the audacity, artistry and unmistakable Upper East Side allure that make The Mark an icon.
