Bottom Line

An elegant Old World luxury hotel situated directly opposite Central Park, the Pierre offers a taste of grand old New York to those staying in any of its 189 timelessly decorated guest rooms and suites. The large staff includes white-gloved elevator attendants personal butlers in some suites. The Pierre is posh yet friendly, and kids and canines are warmly welcomed. Rooms are large by NYC standards, and come with Turkish marble bathrooms and Bose radios. Many higher level rooms offer stunning park or city views -- though some rooms have interior views. Amenities include an adequate gym, a fine-dining French-American restaurant, a classy jazz bar serving high tea and cocktails, and a top notch concierge team, but the Pierre lacks a full-service spa. If a spa is a requirement, check rates at the nearby Mandarin Oriental, New York
