Those staying at The Mark can enjoy its exclusive partnership with the prestigious store – ‘The Bergdorf Goodman Express’ is a private and complimentary pedicab service-chauffeuring guests direct to and from The Mark and Bergdorf Goodman. Furthermore, The Mark guests will be given exclusive store access before and after hours with Bergdorf’s director of shopping, a full chauffeur waiting service outside the store, and door-to-door delivery of shopping bags.

And to help contribute to the shopping spree, The Mark will give those checking into a suite a $500USD gift card towards a $2000USD minimum spend at Bergdorf Goodman, a complimentary facial at the Bergdorf Goodman spa and a complimentary personal styling appointment.
