The Pierre NY, a Taj Hotel
A Timeless Toast to The Pierre: 95 Years of Glamour, Grandeur, and Grace
Few places in the world embody the dialogue between past and present as seamlessly as The Pierre NY, a Taj Hotel. Standing gracefully at the southeast corner of Central Park, this Fifth Avenue icon has been part of Manhattan’s skyline—and its storied social scene—since 1930.
Step into its marble-clad lobby and you're met not just with grandeur, but with the whispers of history. You can almost hear the echoes of Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Coco Chanel, their footsteps once clicking across the checkered floors.
Designed by Schultze and Weaver with the opulence of Versailles in mind, the 41-story tower is a masterclass in Old World charm married to Manhattan sophistication. The Rotunda, with its sweeping staircases and Edward Melcarth’s vivid murals, remains one of New York’s most cinematic rooms—a jewel box of suspended time. Now celebrating its 95th anniversary, The Pierre NY is more than a landmark; it’s a living part of the city’s soul.
