The Pierre

For groups that demand nothing less than legendary status and uncompromising luxury, The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, stands as a timeless icon of New-York elegance. This is not merely a place to stay; it is a storied institution that has presided over Fifth Avenue and Central Park since 1930, hosting royalty, heads of state, and the city’s most distinguished gatherings. For a premier corporate board meeting, a diplomatic delegation, or an unforgettable gala, The Pierre offers a level of prestige and a legacy of impeccable service that is simply unmatched. Its address at the corner of 61st Street is the pinnacle of Manhattan real estate, offering your group direct access to the designer boutiques of Fifth Avenue, the cultural treasures of Museum Mile, and the serene beauty of Central Park as its front lawn.

The experience at The Pierre is defined by a deep commitment to gracious and anticipatory service, a hallmark of Taj’s Indian hospitality blended with classic New York sophistication. This begins with the iconic white-gloved attendants who operate the hotel’s elevators and extends to every detail of your group’s stay. The accommodations are a tribute to classic, residential-style luxury. Each guest room and suite is exquisitely appointed with fine furnishings, rich fabrics, and timeless artwork. Many of the hotel’s 189 rooms, including 49 magnificent suites, feature breathtaking, panoramic views of Central Park, providing a tranquil and awe-inspiring vista of the changing seasons. For VIPs or special guests, the hotel’s signature Grand Suites offer the ultimate in opulence and space.

The Pierre is perhaps most renowned for its magnificent and historic event spaces, which have been the backdrop for New York society’s most memorable moments for nearly a century. The Grand Ballroom, with its soaring ceilings and neo-Georgian details, is a truly majestic setting for a large conference or a black-tie gala. The Cotillion Room offers a similarly grand but more intimate atmosphere for banquets and receptions. The undisputed jewel of the hotel is The Rotunda, a famous circular room adorned with masterful floor-to-ceiling murals by Edward Melcarth. This stunning space provides a spectacular setting for a welcome reception, a power breakfast, or an elegant cocktail party that will leave a lasting impression on every guest.

Culinary excellence is central to The Pierre experience. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Perrine, offers a refined menu of French and American classics, with an option for seasonal outdoor dining on its charming Rosé Terrace. For a truly iconic New York moment, your group can gather for afternoon tea or cocktails in The Rotunda, an experience steeped in tradition and elegance. The hotel’s expert event staff and world-class culinary team work seamlessly to create bespoke menus and flawless events, ensuring that every function, from a small board dinner to a grand banquet, is executed to perfection.
