    Truly, the best

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    It’s the grand Dam of New York City. You can’t beat this hotel. It is truly classy. It’s luxury at its best

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    As is typically the case with the world’s great hotels, it’s the people who make the difference. My partner put it best: people like working at the Pierre. They have fun in their jobs. It definitely shows. Thank you for an iconic stay in the City that never sleeps.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Staff was welcoming, room was spacious and location was great. Negative side was the old building, sewer smell in the room, muddy water in the morning and poor air conditioning.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    We were so well taken care of. Thank you!

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    One of the best hotels I’ve been to. Very attentive service and the rooms are amazing. I will definitely come back

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    We wanted to be as close to Central Park as possible and The Pierre delivered! Room overlooked the park and location couldn’t be better. We explored all of Manhattan this trip so that SE corner is a great starting point. Everyone at the hotel were phenomenal and incredibly helpful and professional. Rooms are older of course but we loved every part of the age and character of the property. Definitely coming back here for next stay!

    Thin walls. Horrible experience

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Room: a coffee machine in the room is actually to be expected.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    I can't say anything particularly bad about the hotel. But for the price and location, they need to renovate the rooms which are really dated. The one very annoying issue is the shower and tub faucets. They have non intuitive, complicated and non functional controls. So, my shower was luke warm at best. Note to overpaid room designer - Stick with separate hot and cold levers for the rest of us please.

    if you like older stately hotel this is for you. if you want more contemporary remodeling you may be disappointed.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Always my favorite!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The staff all around were beyond excellent!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The view from the room, the quietness, the location. Nothing

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The internet was extremely slow. The staff in Perrine were extremely rude and arrogant. The room was tiny (the smallest $1,000 per night room I've stayed at anywhere in the world) and the furniture was old and broken. The concierge was unhelpful. There was no running hot water for the first two mornings. Upon enquiry, I was informed that running hot water is available only after 8:30am. There is no spa in the hotel and the equipment in the fitness centre is old and many machines are out of service. It is hard to believe that this hotel is operated by India's legendary Taj Group which is famous for its service. I have stayed at more than 30 Taj properties all over the world and this is easily the worst experience. It feels like the Taj Group has given up on this property while awaiting the final sale. I will never stay here again.

    Besides the room having maintenance issues such as mold in the bathroom and missing grout. One of our beds smelled like urine. When we notified front desk they said they would send up housekeeping to check on it. After several calls and several hours nobody showed up. Upon check out we mentioned again the smell of urine. They said they would check into it and get back to us. They called us on our way home and accused us of bringing a pet in the room. They offered us zero compensation and called us a liars when we told them that we did not have any pets. Also want to mention there is no way we could have bought a pet in as we were ushered into the room via bellhop and he spent quite a bit of time setting things up in the room with us and explaining amenities. I am totally disgusted by the way that we were treated. At over $1,000 a night for a room to offer us zero compensation besides free breakfast is totally unacceptable.
