Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a fantastic location, perfect for relaxing and observing New York's upper class. The rooms, while spacious with large walk-in closets, may need some modern upgrades. The service was consistently excellent, especially the elevator staff who made my stay special. The dining experience was overpriced and disappointing, but the French pastry was a delightful exception. This hotel sits on the laurels of its old name and location, making it a historic gem but slightly outdated in comparison to newer establishments.
The Pierre is a dreamy retreat right by Central Park, offering a peaceful escape with easy access to top shopping spots. The dining experience, though good, could use some improvement in speed. The location is unbeatable for exploring Central Park and nearby attractions.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there were issues like a substandard bathtub with mold. The service was exceptional, with a warm and amazing staff. The location was brilliant for exploring the city, although maintenance levels were lacking. Dining was pricey, and there were concerns about the quality/price ratio.
The hotel offers a beautiful view overlooking Central Park, but the rooms are small, dark, and interior-facing. There were issues with cleanliness in the bathtub, showcasing a lack of proper supervision. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and cared for. The location is convenient to Central Park, although the price may be on the higher side. The dining experience was excellent, especially in the Perrine restaurant, despite some waiting times. Overall, a mixed experience with notable highlights and drawbacks.
I felt like I was walking into a floral garden with the beautiful Etro products in the rooms. The early check-in and upgrade to a Deluxe room made our stay even more special. The light colors and serene ambiance were delightful, and the toiletries added a luxurious touch. However, the dining prices were a bit steep and not entirely justified.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit small and dated, but the decor was lovely and spacious, making it a nice place to relax after a long day of walking. However, our room was not ready for check-in at 3 pm. The service was welcoming and helpful, though lacking the warmth of other Taj Properties. The hotel's location was exceptional, close to major attractions and shopping areas, with the added convenience of a complimentary Jaguar chauffeur service. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with lovely options at The Pierre but a disappointing overall experience. Facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel had stunning and spacious rooms, providing a comfortable stay, but the dining experience was a bit of a letdown. The service was exceptional, and the location right next to Central Park was unbeatable.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with clean and nicely appointed rooms, offering a beautiful and immaculate setting with a spectacular view of Central Park and great in-room amenities. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who paid attention to the smallest details. The location couldn't have been more perfect, being quiet and convenient to Central Park and the 5th avenue shopping district.
