Opulent, historic and obscenely romantic, the Pierre is a destination in itself. The lobby looks like a Gilded Age period piece; the on-site French-American restaurant Perrine is delicious; 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 decorative fireplaces and antique desks for business – that are both lavish and tranquil, and there's a fitness center. There's a daily facilities fee of $30.
