Beyond expectations
By: Nicole
Reviewed on: 27 Jul 2014
we had expected The Pierre to be a fabulous hotel, but we had not expected it to be an outstanding hotel!! What truly makes this property exceptional is its people. Everyone we encountered was a professional in the true sense of the word, from elevator attendant (yes, they have elevator attendants!!) to restaurant staff, front desk, doormen and concierge. Everyone went beyond expectations to make our stay memorable, with a genuine love of their work. We cannot thank them enough. Nothing is a problem in that hotel. We so want to return and will again book through Virtuoso. The benefits are incredible!

if you're looking for a hotel with a great location, this is it. It is old, but the rooms are large and the bathrooms have been redone. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. It's not inexpensive, but nothing in NYC is.

Birthday at the Pierre

Classic property, terrific location, talented team. Our birthday celebration stay in NYC was highlited by selecting this hotel......thanks to the perseverance of our travel advisor Karen of Odyssey Travel.
The room was tastefully appointed, appropriately equipped, and quiet (14th floor). Staff and service was always available and anticipatory in nature. You will never experience the New York hustle from the people of the Hotel Pierre.
Good vibe end to end.
Everyone loved the traditional elevator ambience .....complete with the operator who knew your name and floor by the second day.

The Pierre is a classic, old school hotel with fantastic service. They still have elevator operators! We stay for one to two weeks at a time because of the service and its perfect location. From there you can readily walk in Central Park and to many museums and restaurants.

Not my usual hotel, but the Pierre was a great alternative. Terrific central location, lovely clean and comfortable room, and friendly helpful staff. Everyone from the people who operated the elevators to the concierges were great. The only downside was I didn’t like the restaurant food that much. Kind of boring breakfast choices (breakfast was included in the price of the room), but the waitstaff was wonderful.

We loved staying at the Pierre. The staff goes out of their way to make guests feel welcome and valued. The hotel breakfast was delicious and had an attractive presentation. It's situated in a great neighborhood with good restaurants and right across from Central Park. The only thing we did not like was our bathroom- it was very small and there was no room to place personal items in there besides 2 small glass shelves right over the toilet-which we did not use. The toilet was right up the bathroom door and there was not much room to move around. The room itself was small but adequate. We had asked for an upgrade at check in-but they said there were none available. Our room was low down and did not have any view.

The Pierre is elegant and well-located across from Central Park. We were within walking distance of the attractions we wanted, and we liked being removed from the midtown chaos. We requested a quiet room and were happily tucked in a corner with an interior view. Our room was peaceful, immaculate and elegant. The mattress was extremely comfortable and the linens were high quality.
Most of the staff were kind and gracious, especially the elevator attendants and doormen. We ate breakfast in the Perrine on-site restaurant each day, and it was just so-so. The furnishings are upscale but the food was not especially flavorful, inventive or fresh. We preferred dining outside of the hotel. Also, several of the restaurant servers seemed agitated with each other and brusque with us.
