Starting Rate: $50,000

This penthouse suite bears the name of the hotel's owner, and it does its namesake proud with design by architects IM Pei and interiors conceived by Peter Marino. The 4,300-square foot space has just one bedroom (a 600-square foot master suite filled with 18th-century Japanese silk pillows, hand-stamped Venetian velvet, Thai silk with 22-carat gold threads, and custom-designed furniture). Chill out in the spa room, peruse the extensive library stocked with hundreds of volumes on art and culture, play the suite’s grand piano, or soak in the chromatherapy infinity soak tub with views of the city below. Penthouse guests have access to a chauffeured Rolls-Royce Phantom, a personal trainer, and full spa treatments, unlimited caviar and champagne and a butler to serve it all. The penthouse sits on the top floor of one of Manhattan’s highest hotel, soaring 700-feet over the streets of the city and offering 360-degree-views of Manhattan.

In 2015, The Mark opened one of the most expansive—and one of the most expensive—hotel suites in the world. Their two-story Grand Penthouse has over 12,000 square feet of space, including a 2,400-square-foot outdoor terrace. The suite has five bedrooms with custom-made furniture designed by Jacques Grange and customizable color schemes and linens. Highlights in the master suite include a floating gas fireplace, his-and-her dressing rooms with walk-in closets, twin bathrooms with heated floors, and an infinity deep-soaking tub. You could, understandably, spend an entire vacation in the bedroom, but we recommend you get out a bit. After all, the Grand Penthouse also boasts a private library, two bars, a dining room big enough for a dinner party with 24 of your closest friends, and a living room that transforms into a ballroom. Star chef Jean-Georges, who operates the hotel’s signature restaurant, can create a private meal for you on the rooftop terrace, which offers breathtaking views of the city, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Central Park. If you’re in NYC for an event, the hotel offers in-suite hair styling by Frédéric Fekkai Salon and round-the-clock suit tailoring from Bergdorf Goodman.
