Lonely Planet review

Opulent, historic and obscenely romantic, the Pierre is a destination it itself. The lobby looks like a Gilded Age period piece, the on-site restaurant (La Caprice) is imported from London, and the spacious rooms (in muted tones with delicate accent colors) beckon with wide beds, sweeping views of Central Park (at the hotel’s front door) and decadent, full-size bathrooms.

The Pierre’s 49 suites have gracious sitting areas – some with fireplaces and antique desks for business – that are both lavish and tranquil, and the on-site spa beckons with treatments based on traditional Indian teachings, herbs and oils.
