The Mark centers food and drink around Jean‑Georges and Caviar Kaspia plus a signature cocktail bar.

  • The Mark Restaurant by Jean‑Georges serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner (7:00 AM–1:00 AM).
  • Caviar Kaspia offers French/Russian caviar‑focused dining and weekend brunch service.
  • The Mark Bar is a late-night cocktail destination with first‑come seating; seasonal outdoor pop-ups expand options.

Pools & signature amenity

The Mark – Pools & signature amenity

The Mark does not have a swimming pool; wellness is focused on fitness and its new spa.

  • No on‑site pool or hot tub; guests have access to a 24‑hour Technogym and outdoor cold plunge.
  • Complimentary bicycles and private penthouse Technogym options support active stays.
  • Spa facilities (The Mark Wellness & Longevity Spa by Augustinus Bader) are a major upcoming addition (Nov 2026).

If an on‑site swimming pool is essential, The Mark is not the right choice; its draw is wellness programming and spa treatments.

  • 24‑hour Technogym and in‑house personal trainer; in‑room massages and outdoor cold plunge available.
