What it's like

The property, initially named the Nortonia Hotel, opened its doors in 1907 and quickly became a hit among traveling performers and celebrities seeking a chic hotel near the city's theater district. In 1966, it was renamed The Mark Spencer Hotel and has since been a favored destination for artists, performers, tourists, and businesspeople alike. More recently, this sophisticated property has been renovated and restored with modern travelers in mind.
