About
The Pierre, A Taj Hotel is located across from Central Park at 61st Street. A part of the New York City skyline with its copper mansard roof, The Pierre offers guests white glove luxury service. The hotel is close to high-end shopping destinations and is only steps away from Bergdorf Goodman. The boutiques of Fifth & Madison Avenues are in close proximity. The Pierre has played host to many society events since opening in 1930. The hotel's restaurant, Perrine, offers seasonal modern American cuisine with daily specials inspired by Pierre culinary classics. The hotel also offers a bar/lounge, Two E, with traditional afternoon tea by day and live jazz by night every Thursday through Saturday. Located at the intersection of Midtown and the Upper East Side, white gloved elevator attendants, a Les Clefs d'Or concierge team and trained housekeepers help maintain the quality of service. The Pierre offers a variety of exclusive experiences for young travelers as well. A host of child-friendly amenities await - from special treats to movies, toys and special museum passes on demand. The Museum Mile is 1.7 mi away. The Central Park Zoo is a short walk from the hotel, and the Concierge team can work with their partners at the Central Park Conservancy to organize special experiences for children. On arrival at the hotel, The Pierre requires a credit card pre-authorization to cover the value of your stay plus $200 per day to cover additional incidentals. The authorization will hold the funds until check-out, at which time the amount actually incurred during the stay will be charged.

Pros +
- Great location next to Central Park, beautiful interiors, very welcoming staff
- The location and service
- location what very good
Cons -
- Hotel is currently only offering the hard product (as of July 1 where Covid restrictions are not an excuse) but cut down all the service offerings. But what makes a luxury hotel or five star Forbes hotel special is usually the service.
- Old building
- the bathrooms were extremely small, no morning coffee pot in the room and the prices for items in the room frig were outrageous. Order 4 pizzas and the bill was $200.00. New York is pricey, but the above items will send me to another location next time.

Service
Great Staff
The service is flawless and very attentive.
Pros: Quiet luxury and grand dame look; you can feel its history. Location is excellent, right on 5th Ave at the SE corner of Central Park and close to several subway stations. Breakfast and lunch were great. The Rotonda is beautiful for afternoon tea or even as a work/leisure space. Friendly and attentive staff--particular shoutout to Luis at Perrine Restaurant.
Cons: Room service is not 24/7 and operates until 10:30-11pm. The room was smaller than expected and a bit dated (the bathroom was not). My main qualm was with the astonishing amount of static in the room, particularly the bed/linens and even the cotton towels. I presume it's a seasonal issue now in the wintertime, but I wish they could use anti-static spray to mitigate.
Truly outstanding care and comfort in our suite made available when our scheduled room not available at the promised time..
New Year's night rear doors shut so needed to walk around building in formal wear from our Club
Very stylish high level hotel, very helpful staff, nice breakfast, big rooms and bathrooms, excellent location ( central park, museums, high level shopping, metro, the opera). I would like to mention that the staff provided us a coffee machine in the room, suggested restaurants and made reservations, called taxis,... The guests are assisted very well and always with a smile.
The air-conditioning in the room was old fashioned, noisy and would either frize the room or leave it hot. Really needs update.

The property provided comfortable bed and living area. The space is huge. It is very clean.
Upon check in there are things that weren’t provided. Ex. We have to call house keeping for a toothbrush. We expected to have a tissue in the bedroom and the living room and there was none. There is also no iron and iron board.
This hotel is a wonderful one! I really loved the way it was decorated for Christmas. You could feel the joy of the holydays. The staff was friendly, respectful and, most of all, very helpful. We had a suite on 38 floor with a beautiful view on the Central Park so we could enjoy some of the finest sunrises in New York. If you choose this hotel, take a room with a park view, on the upper floors. I assure you you won't regret it.The room exceeded my expectations in size and comfort. Extra large bed, spotless room and linen, room service and permanent assistance from the reception will make your stay a perfect one. They accommodated my son in the same room and I really appreciated that.The breakfast was a la carte, with enough choices not to get bored and really really tasty, regardless of your choice. My only remark regarding it is that when you pay such an amount on a room and you have breakfast included, you expect to be really included. Instead, we were given a 96 USD credit for the breakfast, and we had to pay what exceeded that amount. It leaves a bad taste and is a shame, as everything else was perfect. Is not like you have multiple mouth and you will eat 5 breakfasts...The lounge bar offers a wide range of drinks, the waiters were super nice and is really worth spending some time there after a full day. The food at dinner - we only tried it once, it was good, but not something out of ordinary, even though the menu looked fantastic.
Actually included breakfast.
