New York is set to become one of the most important host cities of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While thousands of fans will travel to experience the matches firsthand, a select few will enjoy the tournament from an entirely different perspective.
The Mark Hotel, the legendary Upper East Side property known for hosting celebrities, cultural icons, and global tastemakers, has unveiled one of the most exclusive experiences the city has created for the World Cup.
Introducing the World Cup Extravaganza, a package designed for six guests staying in The Mark’s iconic Penthouse, widely recognized as the largest hotel penthouse suite in the United States, offering breathtaking views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
Oversized screens installed throughout the Penthouse will broadcast every match, creating the perfect setting to enjoy the excitement of the tournament. The experience includes 24-hour butler service, an on-call massage therapist, a private fitness studio, a cold plunge overlooking the skyline, and a variety of thoughtfully designed spaces to watch each game in complete privacy. Among them is the Penthouse’s iconic terrace, where perfectly crafted martinis and caviar service from Caviar Kaspia elevate every matchday experience.
Beyond the hotel, guests will enjoy a private charter aboard The Mark Sailboat, the elegant 70-foot Herreshoff vessel, accompanied by cuisine from Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspia while cruising past the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty.
For the final match, The Mark takes the experience even further. Guests will be transported to the game by private helicopter, while a private driver remains at their disposal throughout their stay. Match access includes premium pitch-side and midfield seating, private entrances, and VIP service throughout the event.
Priced at $1 million for four nights, the package is a reflection of how major sporting events have become the newest stage for luxury hospitality.
Beyond the World Cup, The Mark continues to offer some of New York’s most sought-after seasonal experiences. Among them is The Mark Sailboat, available for individual reservations from May through September as well as private charters. The hotel also brings back Picnic in the Park, a refined take on the classic New York picnic experience in Central Park, with options ranging from gourmet picnic baskets to premium offerings featuring champagne, caviar, and lobster rolls.
Because if there is one thing The Mark understands, it is that true luxury is not simply about where you stay, but how you experience both the hotel and the city around it.
