Overview
Known for its gracious service, the iconic Fifth Avenue hotel overlooking the emerald expanse of Central Park has recently completed a meticulous $100 million renovation to create new guestroom and bath interiors. Guests are welcomed into a marble lobby with exquisitely arranged fresh flowers, graceful archways and museum-caliber artwork. White-gloved elevator attendants whisk guests to their rooms. The hotel is located close to a wide array of New York's fabled attractions, from the renowned shopping of Fifth and Madison Avenues to outstanding museums and cultural centers. Today, as in decades past, the hotel is noted for its impeccable service. The Pierre is a testament to understated elegance.
