The five-star Pierre Hotel, a magnificent historical landmark overlooking Central Park at 795 5th Avenue, is now a flagship of Taj Hotels, and has just completed a $100 million dollar renovation. The most fashionable restaurant in London, The Caprice, is now opened in the lobby. The hotel offers outstanding personal service, (including twice daily maid service and monthly deep cleaning service), combined with the charm of a European residence.

The Pierre Hotel offers 140 stunning guest rooms and 49 magnificent suites — all elegantly furnished and outfitted with luxurious bathrooms and the latest amenities. The latest in modern conveniences include interactive flat panel televisions in bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms, the Bose Home Theatre system with iPod docking stations, high speed wired and wireless Internet access, executive desks with built-in data and power outlets, and electronic safes with power outlets that accommodate laptops.

All guestrooms and suites at the Pierre Hotel have been transformed to feature a warm, inviting residential-style decor with a feeling of quiet luxury. High ceilings and abundant natural light evoke a gracious, airy experience that enhances the new interiors. Color palettes, comprised of soft neutrals in pale ivory and taupe with tones or corals or blues, are contrasted with rich woods, tufted leather headboards and matching benches. Richly textured silk and brocade fabrics in elegant neutrals with tasteful accents of color adorn upholstery, pillows, draperies and bed throws. Hand-carved carpets ensure comfort and superb acoustical sound control.

There are also private condo residences within this building, at least one of which is among the priciest in New York.
