The Met and The Mark Hotel NY

The Mark Hotel offered the first look of guests exiting the 2026 Costume Institute Gala

‘Costume Art’ on the First Monday in May. After the event, the night’s most prominent names returned to transform into their second looks, stopping by the lobby where they indulged in an exclusive takeover of The Mark Haute Dog Cart by KFC for chicken tenders and french fries.

Located at the corner of Madison Avenue and 77th Street, just steps from Central Park and the city’s most celebrated museums, galleries, and boutiques, The Mark Hotel is the pinnacle of boldly lavish luxury, seamlessly blending impeccable personal service, avant-garde design, and old-world comfort. The hotel offers 106 guest rooms and 47 suites, including the largest hotel penthouse suite in North America, with interiors by Jacques Grange and contributions from an esteemed roster of artists and designers including Ron Arad, Mattia Bonetti, Guy de Rougemont, Vladimir Kagan, Eric Schmitt, Paul Mathieu, Todd Eberle, and Karl Lagerfeld. The Mark is home to its acclaimed restaurant by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, The Mark Bar, Caviar Kaspia at The Mark, and the salon by Frédéric Fekkai, and is distinguished by its signature scent, Jurassic Flower, created by Frédéric Malle. The Mark Hotel is the only hotel in New York City—and one of just two in the United States—named to The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025. In collaboration with Assouline, the hotel has also released The Mark, authored by Derek Blasberg with commentary from star-studded regulars, such as Anna Wintour. Continuing to enhance the holistic guest experience, The Mark has introduced an elevated wellness offering featuring a 24-hour fitness center and a private training room within its iconic penthouse by Technogym, alongside a smart cold plunge on the penthouse terrace.
