    The classiest hotel in midtown — classier than The Plaza. If you are looking for old world New York, this is the place to stay. My wife and I stayed for one evening for our wedding anniversary and the staff were very helpful. The breakfast is exceptional, too. Spending money at The Pierre is well worth it. Enjoy New York the right way and stay at this property!

    What truly sets The Pierre apart is the staff — every single person was warm, caring, and genuinely attentive. The concierge team is exceptional and truly five-star, helping us with everything from restaurant bookings and attractions to cars and thoughtful local suggestions, all handled effortlessly and kindly. Front of house was equally outstanding, and even the lift attendants made every interaction feel personal and welcoming. The hotel itself is immaculate — elegant, pristine, and perfectly positioned right by Central Park, making the whole stay feel effortlessly luxurious. And a special touch: the early morning croissants at 6am for jet-lagged guests were such a thoughtful detail. A beautiful hotel made unforgettable by its people.

The staff was so polite and genuine and made us feel like it was our home away from home every day of our stay. The breakfast staff at La Perrine were wonderful and remembered our breakfast preferences as we entered. I would definitely stay there again. I could've stayed 30 days instead of five

    There were a few small details that were less than ideal; not dealbreakers but not what I expected for a luxury hotel that cost us $1000/night: no coffee maker in the room - we had to call down and have them bring us one several electrical outlets didn't work no usb charging ports anywhere (it is an old hotel but still) we used the wine glasses from the cabinet and although housekeeping removed them the next day, they weren't replaced no room in the mini-frig for personal items took a very long time to get hot water out of the bathroom and shower faucets bathrobes were on the small side if you want to order in food from other establishments, the delivery person isn't allowed to bring it to your room; they have to leave it with concierge who then sends someone up to your room with it All in all, we wouldn't stay here again.

    The club next door had a party and the music I could hear late into Friday night. I was so upset I left at 8pm on Saturday night and drove back home. They told me the room I was assigned was because my booking was through Expedia and told me I should book through the hotel directly, I did ask for a refund of the one night since I did not stay on Saturday night and had a bad nights sleep on Friday night with all the noise from the neighboring building and the heater. They told me to ask Expedia for a refund.

    I brought my mother to NYC to celebrate her 87th birthday. She had stayed only once at The Pierre, on her wedding night, back in 1961. We recounted this to the agent who was checking us in to the hotel. She smiled warmly, and continued typing, casting the ocassional glance at the two country bumpkins in front of her. “Well. No ordinary room will do for a return like this to our hotel,” she announced. “I am upgrading you to a suite.” My mother and I looked at one another, mouths agape. The agent came from behind the counter, embraced my mother warmly and wished her the happiest of birthdays. You could have pushed us over with a feather. The room, the staff, the hotel and the weekend were an absolute dream vacation.

    The Pierre provides a charming and comfortable stay with the most gracious and friendly staff we’ve ever encountered at a hotel. We were duly impressed by the elegant decor and our room’s view of Central Park. Our breakfast and dinner at Perrine ( the hotel’s restaurant) were delightfully relaxing and service was impeccable. We tried several items on the menu and were very pleased. The location in midtown Manhattan makes it a great base for exploring NYC. My only regrets are that we didn’t come sooner, or stay longer.

    The room was dirty with hair in the bathtub and dirt everywhere. I had to call and then after waiting quite a while go downstairs and talk to the manager twice. I went out and when I came back they still had yet to clean the room and they said the hotel was full and could not change my room. I am a long time (literally two decades plus) customer and my husband is immocomprimised and they could have cared less. They finally cleaned it and then neglected to it the next day again. I never heard from the manager and it was unsatisfactory. I will never stay there again and recommend strongly that others do not stay at the hotel. It is no longer five star and the management is also not high class. If you are a discerning traveler you will be unsatisfied at best.

    Room was clean. A bit outdated. But clean. Location is great, Hotel common areas are great. Housekeeping was selling us bottles of water in the evening, in the morning collecting still untouched bottles and reselling to us again in the next evening… it was a bit weird experience … but besides that part, i will definitely use this hotel again. Definitely recommending

    My husband and I absolutely love this hotel and return regularly. The staff are always so warm, accommodating, and genuinely helpful, which makes every stay feel special. The views from the hotel are stunning, and the surroundings feel very safe and welcoming. We also traveled with our service pups, and the thoughtful gesture of providing them with their own beds and bowls was incredibly sweet. It’s little touches like these that make us feel truly cared for and keep us coming back time and again.

    WARNING, the property WILL NOT HONOR EXPEDIA/HOTELS.COM status entitlements. They refused upgrade and late checkout even when the hotel was not very full. This was very disappointing. Otherwise, the hotel is very nice but VIP ACCESS here is a scam.

    Some of the staff, notably Britney at the front desk, Willie from security, the doormen, the housekeepers, and the women staffing the elevators, were so lovely and kind. Genuinely wonderful. However, the rest of the front desk staff and concierge staff were disinterested at best and a little rude at worst. The room was lovely. Everything was clean. The stay was just okay, I was just expecting more.

    This is the Grand Dame of NYC hotels. The best location possible opposite Central Park close to everything. The Staff we friendly and super friendly. All that said. When we arrived at 3:30 for a 3:00 Check-in our room was not ready. We had ordered a pot of coffee for a 7:00 AM delivery and it never showed up, for the second day we asked they put a “coffee setup” in our room but that never came. It took 4 requests to get a fridge to our room. The room was spacious and clean and the closet was bigger than many NYC apartments, the bathroom was very nice and well appointed. I would stay here again.

    Stayed 5 nights. First the positive hotel is classic great location great neighborhood. Now things that keep me from giving great review. First I got to hotel at 2:10 PM and couldn’t check in before 3PM second on 3 of 5 nights a dog was barking 11PM and woke us up. At almost $700 a night I didn’t expect that. Finally the one day I needed the WiFi it wasn’t working. I called front desk and was I transferred to some help line where I was on hold and never got help.

    We really dislike our stay at The Pierre Hotel in New York. First of all, the hotel looks very tired and is in definite need of an upgrade. Second, the staff is not trained at all—they are unable to answer even the simplest questions. Additionally, there are staff members in every elevator who travel with you just to push the buttons. I don’t understand why, in this day and age, such a service is necessary instead of focusing on better-trained staff and a more well-rounded guest experience.

    They assumed the hotel would be better for the price; it didn't have in-room coffee service. The room wasn't in perfect condition. They added a third rollaway bed since there were only two beds and it was a reservation for three. The prices were very expensive, and the hotel has become a bit dated.
