"Overlooking Central Park, this five-star stalwart was Lady Gaga’s 2019 Met Gala prep base for her flowy Brandon Maxwell cape dress and 25-foot train, and it welcomed Allison Williams, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union, Cynthia Erivo, and Barry Keoghan for 2024’s gala alone. Around since 1930, its hallways have been graced by fashion legends including Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Yves Saint Laurent, and Hubert de Givenchy." - Nicole Kliest, Christina Liao
"A storied Upper East Side landmark dating back to 1930 that exudes old-world elegance and delivers breathtaking Central Park views from Park View rooms on higher floors (34–39). Guests appreciate classic, luxurious touches and opulent suites, as well as the Art Deco ambiance and live performances at the hotel’s Two E Bar and Lounge; note that a dedicated spa is not available on site." - Maria Yagoda Maria Yagoda Maria Yagoda is a writer, author, and editor who has traveled around the world professionally for over ten years.

"Stately and imposing, The Pierre lives up to its prime location across from Central Park on the Upper East Side. Think black-and-white marble floors, gilded moldings, and big, fresh flower arrangements. You can't help but feel important when you're here. The hotel’s Les Clefs d’Or Concierge team can create crafted itineraries with insider’s access to New York’s most sought-after attractions, and back onsite, a meal at Perrine restaurant showcases elegant, seasonally-inspired dining. Royal vibes continue in the rotunda—with its iconic murals, it’s one of the city’s most romantic rooms." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
"Known for a storied concierge service led by a longtime chief concierge, the property offers highly personalized, sometimes in-room experiences (for example arranging private performances by Broadway artists), and leverages deep local networks to make bespoke requests happen." - Sarah Khan
"Housed in a 41-story landmark tower, this glamorous property features a three-story penthouse inspired by the Royal Chapel in Versailles and cultivates a star-studded clientele; visitors praise its opulent interiors and gracious, attentive staff." - Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo is the editorial assistant at Travel + Leisure.
