The lavish Mark Hotel is setting itself apart from the large selection of luxury hotels in New York City by offering some special extras that kids and parents will love.
In collaboration with stroller maker Maclaren, the five-star hotel has created its own fleet of perambulators available for its guests to use while strolling around the city. The bespoke strollers are covered in the signature Mark Hotel black and white stripes. The Mark Hotel restaurant features a gourmet children's menu, and now that the weather is cooling down, a cocoa cart outside serves warm chocolaty treats.
Best of all, the Mark Hotel offers a slumber party service, where kids get their own special teepee set up within their parents' suite. While their parents enjoy a luxury hotel experience, little ones get to sleep in an indoor tent in authentic sleepover style.
