The Pierre, a New York classic, continues to impress after a long, glamorous history. The 1930s Georgian-style building is a mix of old and new:
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Central Park and Grand Army Plaza unfold across Fifth Avenue, placing high-end shopping and Upper East Side museums within easy reach.
The rooms
Rooms pair classic dark wood furnishings and tufted headboards with spacious Turkish marble bathrooms, many framing direct views over Central Park.
The gym and spa
Hand-painted murals line the 24-hour fitness studio, and custom massage treatments are available in the Serenity Suite.
Dogs stay too.
Two E Bar & Lounge
The former gentleman's library pours classic cocktails around a glowing brass bar, with live jazz in the evenings.
How it began
Founded in 1930 on a former Gilded Age mansion site, the hotel was the grand vision of Corsican restaurateur Charles Pierre.
