We were fortunate enough to spend time at the Pierre Hotel located on 61st Street in NYC while attending a Gala over the weekend. We loved the Premier Pierre Suite featuring a King Bed and stunning views of Manhattan. The hotel and its rooms exude a lovely old-world charm that is truly beautiful. The amenities include a doorman, a restaurant, and the MarieBelle Chocolate Store and more. The elevators also possess charm, complete with elevator operators. A wonderful place to stay. read more

The server clearly took advantage of both our guest and me. He repeatedly poured wine without properly confirming quantities, later claiming that we consumed four full bottles. This makes no sense -- he came to our table only four times and poured a total of seven glasses, yet when the bill arrived, we were charged for sixteen glasses. The discrepancy was shocking and extremely disappointing. The food was equally underwhelming. The scallop dish -- described as delicate with corn -- arrived drowning in oil, which completely overwhelmed the plate and made it unappetizing. The oysters were the best part of the meal, but even they were poorly executed and difficult to properly enjoy due to shell fragments. Overall, the experience was poor, largely due to a server who we feel took advantage of us. It left a very disappointing impression. I would fire the server as that's just wrong!!! read more

December 2025 - a grand beautiful historic hotel with doorman, great location right across Central Park, walking distance from the subway, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Bergdorf Goodman etc. Why the two stars ? Utterly disappointed in our Executive Suite rooms 532 and 535 on the fifth floor. Dark plain hallways and rooms In dire need of a facelift and interior design. Executive Suite rooms 535 on the 5th floor -accommodates 3 people -$50 fee for rollaway bed upon request for the 3rd guest -2 full bathrooms -Spacious suite -No view of the park or the city -Hideous views (see images) -No coffee or tea available in the room Executive Suite room 532 on the 5th floor -accommodates 3 people -$50 fee for a rollaway bed upon request -1 bathrooms -Large suite room -No coffee or tea available -Kitchen with sink, fridge and microwave -No view of the Central Park or the City -Hideous View see images -Unable to fully open bathroom shower door and water leaking onto floor. -no reception for the the bathroom TV I had grand expectations for the Pierre Hotel $5200 for 2 rooms for a 2 night stay. Utterly disappointing. The booking includes hotel fees and also complimentary breakfast for 2 days at the Pierre restaurant. One star for the Pierre restaurant, it was not bad but their breakfast menu was nothing out of the ordinary. I did enjoy their pork and turkey sausage. The Indian omelet was a regular omelet with chili added without any curry sauce. Expedia VIP membership No upgrades available Utterly disappointing Recommend booking at the Plaza Hotel or any other hotel in this area. read more

The Pierre, an icon of New York City's hospitality industry, happy to re-visit. We went to see "The Magic Table". TMT table is an all virtual show where the audience is an active participant of the show. There were 5 acts-5 meal courses, each served ready to partake after each act and it was delicious. The audience left with a gift/favor from the show as well as from the hotel. The Pierre Hotel is worth a visits . read more

Victor and all were so so welcoming and helpful. Wonderful service. Spoil yourself . It's pleasing to be here. The decor. The murals . Art. Staff shares stories that Jackie Onassis , Audrey Hepburn and other "A" List stars stayed here. It's near fine museums. I was at the Frick and decided to dine here. Absolutely everything on the menu was tempting me. The fish items were catching my eye! My bff enjoy the filet minion. Delicious. A delight. I loved my salmon and fava. Our salad was absolutely so fresh & delicious. Desert was in the chocolate shop in the hotel. Thanks to all who care for all the guests. I would definitely come back. read more

Awesome restaurant and staff, come here every so often for drinks and a bite at the bar and never disappoints. True NYC classic, one of the few that still holds the old school NYC vibe read more

A great historic hotel, its location is the main attraction for me. You are paying for the old glamour but is not a truly five star hotel. Dirty carpets, at The Rotunda the table covers were dirty, scratches in the wall covers. When we got to the room there were not one detail like other hotels you expected some sweets or cookies, nothing. The water provided was a regular Polar water bottle. I have to say the staff from the front desk, bar, elevators, Perrine and front doors were absolutely fantastic. I stayed on the 38th floor and the side view of the Central Park was amazing. read more

Terrible Internet in a so-called luxury hotel. The Pierre has the worst Internet I've ever seen, anywhere. Couldn't even browse or stream -- shocking for a Taj property on Fifth Ave with sky-high rates. Staff didn't apologize or fix it. Never again. read more

A friend who frequents NY recommended that I consider staying at The Pierre. After noting the property recently won the coveted Forbes 5-star award for 2024, and seeing all the perks offered by booking through AMEX, I decided to book this for a mother-daughter trip to NY. The location is perfect, next to Central Park and the Subway along 5th Avenue, and offered a warm and welcoming home base for our week long stay. We were excited to learn of the (almost) 100 years of history and were charmed by the warm and friendly staff throughout our stay. Our needs (even the unexpressed ones) were anticipated and we simply did not want to leave. It is worth it to book the guestrooms facing Central Park! We especially enjoyed the traditional elevators and the elevator attendants, which make it a quintessential classic NY experience! Be sure to take advantage of the helpful concierge team - they steered us in the right directon for anything from coffee, museums, restaurants, bars and entertainment. We are grateful for this extraordinary team of professionals who work here, and couldn't have imagined a more perfect stay in NY. The hotel is great for weddings and corporate groups, the ballroom is exquisite! Rooms are super clean and housekeeping comes 2-3 times a day. Beds are super comfy and the property is well maintained, with recent renovations too. They do cater to a lot of Indian travelers and even have rooms decorated in Indian style. Indian menus available too. read more

Great location and an old-school feel of the greater days 100 years ago. They still have elevator attendants. The fixtures are amazing. The rooms are nice and spacious and housekeeping gives you all the little extra touches. It's a touch rundown, so with a makeover this place could be epic if you want a great location and classic feel, its a great spot. read more

A really cool, luxury hotel near Central Park. Attended a memorial event at the hotel, and was impressed how they were able to create privacy for such a gathering. The staff, especially the concierge, was very helpful and friendly. read more

It's clean and service is exceptional, but the hotel needs a facelift. It's definitely on the older side and shows it.

Alright, I don't often get to stay at NY hotels since rent itself is high enough, but since that's no longer a thing... time to try out some NY hotels that I've been long curious about! The place is gorgeously historic (albeit a little dated, but I do love that old timey feel), and lavishly appointed. While our room was small (welcome to NY), the personal touches were nothing I've ever seen. I leave a pair of glasses on the table? Turndown service leaves me clothes to wipe my glasses with. Slippers are way fluffier than other places I've stayed. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but all the aminities, bath salts for soaking, little tub basket to hold your Champaign while taking a bubble bath... the list goes on. The elevator staff and valet are also incredibly nice and friendly. I think my summary is that this place is just... nice. Everything is done to help make your day just a little easier and smoother. I can definitely appreciate that, at the same time the price is definitely on the higher side. But if we have the opportunity to stay again (given work trips!) I will look forward to coming back! read more

The Pierre - A window into NYC - Hotels Near Me - New York, New York

We stayed at the Hotel for 4 nights. Not a Luxury Hotel. More like upscale Bed and Breakfast. Can not be compared with Mondarin Oriental or Ritz or Four Seasons. The Radiator Heater was making terrible noise every night waking us up constantly. We were waiting for 2 hours to get a coffee machine setup in the room. The Breakfast has limited options and restaurant is understaffed. Sometimes you need to wait 20-30 min to be seated. Waiters are not pleasant. I would not recommend this Hotel if you are looking for luxury. read more

Stayed at the Pierre for 3 days after my husband's surgery during COVID-19 era in November 2020. Loved everything about the hotel. The deluxe city view room was a bit small and not as bright, so we upgraded to a park view and absolutely loved it. Most of the amenities were not available due to the pandemic, but all we needed was a comfortable COVID-free bed which we got and more. If we ever have visitors from out of town, I'm booking them a room at Pierre. PS. We live in Manhattan but husband was advised against walking up stairs after the surgery. We could have gone home after the first night, but decided to make it a staycation. read more

The Pierre Hotel could be one of NYC's finest--great location, lovely property--but the front desk and management's utter refusal to fix guest problems ruin it. Two stays, two disasters. March: a week of cold showers despite multiple calls; management just talked, never acted. April: booked for three via ADP/Expedia, got a king bed and non-pullout couch. After endless arguments, management wouldn't waive a $350 fee for an extra bed, blaming everyone but themselves. They don't care about guests--just excuses. Elevator and room service staff are great, but the front desk? Zero stars. I'm taking my May and July bookings to The Plaza. read more

I had the worst service ever at this place. I ordered a yogurt with mixed berries and a coffee while waiting on a friend to join.

This hotel is truly top notch. From the moment we arrived the doorman, bellman and deck staff were welcoming and very helpful and kind. Our room was amazing! We were on the 38th floor and had a view of Central Park. Our room was very clean and very comfortable. Our housekeeper was so kind and sweet. The turndown service was a great added touch. The hotel restaurant is an added bonus. The waiters and staff are great. We also had room service one night. The waiter that brought us room service set up the table, poured our drinks and set up the food. It was perfect. This hotel is in one of the best and most convenient spots in NYC. You are close to Central Park, great food and shopping. I very much would recommend this hotel and we will be back. Thank you to Kevins and Dawa. You both made our trip unforgettable. read more

4.5 stars. Perfect location across of Central Park, near Madison & 5th Avenue so great for shopping. A short taxi ride to Broadway and Timesquare, complimentary as hotel guests within a certain distance so no complaints there. Helpful staff, ideal location and wonderful suites. I love the old luxe of this hotel and there is definitely a homelier feel to it. My husband was here last year during winter when the park was covered in snow, so I decided Spring would be ideal for vacation and sure enough, everything went better than expected. I was debating between this hotel and the Ritz. I take issue with having to call for water bottles. And in the mornings, Coffee/tea and pastries are offered at the lobby between certain hours. I like to roll out of bed, make coffee and relax in my robe. Or make a second cup of good coffee before dinner as I'm adjusting to the time difference. Well I can't do that downstairs so we ended up ordering cappuccinos nearby. And because of my caffeine and water addictions, I cannot give this 5 stars because I found that to be an inconvenience. Other than that, housekeeping , front desk, doormen, and everyone here provided excellent service. read more

I came to The Pierre for a wedding! It's small for the number of people who were there, around 400, so it definitely felt cramped, but that's not their fault. It's a very luxurious and glamorous venue with a Venetian vibe to it. I was mesmerized by the ceiling and wall art the whole time! Waiters were flexible with last-minute changes to seating and serving very stuffy guests. If you're going for a showy, flashy type of party (or if you're marrying someone rich!), The Pierre could make sense for you. The wedding took place across three small rooms for the cocktail hour, then the reception (with dozens of people standing in the back due to lack of space!), and then dinner in the ballroom. It was fun to explore from room to room. FYI, take a light cardigan, as certain parts were chilly. I just wish they had more bathrooms and that their valet parking was more affordable! It's insanely expensive for just a few hours. The wedding started at 6pm and was still going when I left at 1am. They held it down for us! Overall, it was a lovely time and I'm glad I went. If you're reading this, feel free to invite me to your weddings here! read more

Beautiful, gorgeous hotel settled in Manhattan. Right across from Central Park it's a beautiful hotel with a famous landmark right next to it. Known for its French influenced decor the hotel was absolutely magnificent. Location- 2 East 61st Street, Manhattan, New York City, United States. Just look for the fancy hotel little couple of feet across Central Park. Interior- French inspired marble white with black lining flooring. Chandeliers with crystals and light blue sky roofs at the rotunda with balconies that swirl to the top. The interior is luxurious and fancy. It's more of a quiet, romantic hotel than a social hangout one. The outside on the building rooftop looks like an old French chateau. The rooms very spacious with comfy bedding, the bathroom was spacious with marbled flooring and a stand up shower. Everything was beautiful and clean with all the necessities filled soap, toothbrush, cotton swabs etc. Again, French inspired decor. Service- everyone was super friendly. They made it a point to remember your name and they even brought us an anniversary cake in the room. Always helpful with directions and giving advice on tours and broadway shows. The service was impeccable. Thanks again Pierre! You made New York even more enjoyable. read more

We had an outstanding stay. We stayed for over a week and it was wonderful! I see some people complaining this is an old school NYC 5* hotel if you're looking for sultry and dim lit modern hotels that smell like an airport lounge- this isnt it.There are plenty of other options that fit the bill. This hotel is perfect the service was excellent our room was always super tidy form housekeeping and the doormen and all of the staff including the elevator attendants remembered us and treated us so well. The hotel bars are amazing and Perrine was perfect from breakfast to after dinner drinks with friends! The other bar with the Pianist is fab with great service. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and will be back. Also the person that said the bars were empty must have gone in like July and Aug where the WHOLE city is half empty! Thanks again for the wonderful stay!! Will be back next year for our fall trip again! Thanks again from California! read more

Came here for afternoon tea a while back. There was a groupon deal so decided to check this place out, was deciding between the Ritz and here but the food here looked yummier. We got seated and were served a choice of tea pretty quickly. Then, we ordered our food and waited for the food to arrive. The vessel that carried the food was really pretty. I really liked how everything was bite sized and there was alot of variety with the food, from both savory and sweet. The food was cooked well, the sandwiches were tasty and the dessert was moist and just the right amount of sweetness. The price was on the higher side but it was a nice occasional treat to have an afternoon with friends. read more

For some reason, as the weather warmed today my mind went back to staying at The Pierre over Christmas. All hopes dashed for a magical stay. Tea Room closed. No Room service. Fireplace in suite not working. Drains that needed to be snaked (who knew) and while taking a shower the shower pan overflowed. Overpriced and overpromised. Don't stay there. Needs a structural, managerial and marketing overhaul. read more

Ambiance-5 Service-5 Food-4 Value-4 with Groupon 4.5 stars for this place. When in NY, I love to do afternoon tea. And a Groupon is the deal clincher here. Loved the ambiance and presentation. It is a a little expensive, $110 for two without the Groupon! We paid about $78 for two with the Groupon discount of the day! For this price , I would love to see more variety of tea on the menu. The scones were served warm and delicious with clotted cream, lemon curd and strawberry preserves. The choice of tarts and pastries was amazing; sandwiches could be a shade better, though. Go for an authentic British High tea experience! read more

Came here for the Afternoon Tea b/c of Groupon Pros: - Liked how they have a good mixture of savory and sweets. Along with the warm scones, the spiced chicken tartlet and deviled eggs were part of the highlights. - Lovely ambience although the room was a bit tight - Their selection of green and red teas were relatively limited but their options for black tea was great - the Pierre Blend was delicious! Cons: - The sandwiches were a bit dry - Very clean bathrooms. Fancy towelettes. read more

Excellent hotel. I was there for approximately 10 days. Staff goes beyond their way to be helpful and always so kind. The rooms are beautifully maintained, clean and spacious with nice bath products and for being on the upper East side, the vibe is warm, friendly and unpretentious. Without a doubt I would stay there again. read more

I came here for lunch for Restaurant Week and I wasn't that impressed. The service was great. The waiter made good conversation, always made sure we were taken care of and was very attentive. The restaurant was beautiful and the bathrooms were stunning. My fiancee enjoyed his whole meal and said he would go there again just for the Apple Tart dessert. As for my meal, I had the 'Roasted Butternut Squash Soup' for my appetizer which was delicious and my favorite part of the meal. For my entree, I had the 'Sauteed Mushrooms' entree which was mushroom bisque and pumpkin gnocchi and while I love mushrooms and pumpkin, I think I learned I'm not a gnocchi fan. I wasn't the biggest fan of this dish. Lastly for dessert, I had the 'Dairy Free Panna Cotta'. I never had Panna Cotta before so this was a gamble. I believe it came with grapefruit sorbet on top which was delicious as well as all the fresh fruit on it. The Panna Cotta itself was just okay. It was kind of tasted like a weird cheesecake in a way. I wouldn't get it again but it was nice to try. read more

Most 5 star reviews are from folks who came for brunch or ate here. This one comes based on the stay. All deducted points are due to the stupid concept of imposing a large resort fee onto guests. Seriously ... I kept looking out into the street wondering where the beach cabanas were and when the towel leavers would come out and set up the beach chair. Instead, I realized that the fee was for wifi and bottled water. And a newspaper which never came. Shit I could get for free at a $150 Holiday Inn Express or Fairfield by Marriott. When a luxury hotel nickles and dimes their guests over having a pen and paper in the room while charging 5 star prices for ... lets be honest ... what is a 4 star room, they should expect a review to call bullshit on them. You want to charge me a resort fee in Nice, France where uniformed Cabana attendants give me suntan lotion and freshly laundered towels ... great. You want to charge me a resort fee in NYC for wifi and generic bottled water, here's your fucking two stars. Enjoy. The rooms ... nice. Not The Ritz, St. Regis or even the semi-shitty Plaza. Probably would put them on the level of a nice Autograph Collection Marriott or Kimpton. Nothing special but not terrible. The staff here ... friendly to apathetic. Would I stay here again? Fat chance. Enjoy my $33 'resort fee' for a hotel ... and your two star review cheapskates. read more

What a gorgeous suite room we are staying! Contemporary and roomy Just right amount of decoration! Love the feature in the bathroom. Deep height drawer just in front of the washing place.

I am upgrading my review to 5 stars because they apologized and explained it was a mistake. They also offered an upgrade if we were ever return again. Interestingly enough, there minibar has sensors on them. I was trying to fit something in the refrigerator and that showed up like I was taking a drink. Never knew they had something like that out there. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of their lack of informing us that they were holding roughly $700 on our debit card without letting us know. Usually a hotel holds $50 to $100 a night for incidentals, but $700. This place is beautiful, but would not stay there again because of its unnecessary deposit. read more
