We had a very nice stay at the Marker but for sure the highlight of the hotel was the extra care of Blanca from the front desk at the hole time we’ve been at the Marker. What a lovely person!

Great hotel in a central location. Rooms are spacious, the restaurant was really good with new Executive Chef, and every employee was super helpful. Happy to have found a winner and coming back here every time we're up in the City.

I stayed at the Marker for two nights and had the best experience. The hotel is beautiful and staff is amazing. They have one of the best gyms with quality equipment!
