Rough Guide "The Pierre still drips with luxury, its rooms offering views of Central Park, iPod docks and DVD players, though it’s not quite the palace it was when Salvador Dalí used to stay."
Frommer's "A property of India-based Taj Hotels, the Pierre, along with the St. Regis and the Plaza, is one of New York’s grandest of grand dame hotels." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Inviting service makes this sophisticated and beautifully renovated hotel seem not so intimidating."
Time Out "The Asian influence is reflected in silk bedspreads from Bangalore and contemporary Indian art, but the hotel restaurant is a swanky new Italian spot designed by Adam Tihany, Sirio." Full review
Star Service "White-gloved staff outnumbers guests 3-to-1, the concierge team holds Les Clefs d'Or qualifications, and room service is provided around-the-clock." Full review
BlackBook "Look past the Corsican name, this luxe HQ is running on Indian hospitality. Taj Hotels broke the bank for renovation, keeps the staff to guest ratio at a hefty three to one."
Zagat4.3
""Spoil yourself" at this "swanky" "New York classic", a "quiet place to slip away" that's "beautiful, inside and out" and boasts a "fabulous" location overlooking Central Park."
Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars
"The gorgeous hand-painted murals are still there (even in the fitness center), but they now share space with Indian artwork, some of which hails from the Taj flagship in Mumbai." Full review
Gayot "You could easily mistake this property for an Old World club rather than a modern luxury hotel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Pierre-by-Taj refreshes the luxury and exclusivity that have long defined the hotel." Full review

"The Conrad New York, opened in 2012, is a stylish luxury option right next to the Goldman Sachs building in Battery Park City." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This all-suite hotel is a great bet for families... fantastic views of the harbor and discounted weekend rates."
Time Out "This sophisticated Hilton offshoot Conrad has taken over a former Embassy Suites Hotel facing Battery Park City’s riverside Nelson A. Rockefeller Park." Full review
Star Service "For now, it's a good bargain, especially for families, and together with Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, this is one of the most service-minded properties in this part of town." Full review
Gayot "This soaring glass-enclosed space situated along the border of Battery Park City somehow manages to be at once grand but unimposing."
BlackBook "Guests at this luxe spot are greeted by a towering Sol LeWitt painting in the dramatic atrium, setting the tone for what is veritably a hotel-as-contemporary-art-gallery."
Zagat4.2
""Massive", "amazing" accommodations that are "modernist cocoons of tranquility" with "impressive" technology."
Lonely Planet "In Battery Park City, this well-heeled all-suites hotel (part of the Hilton group) is a top choice for business travelers (Goldman Sachs is next door)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Conrad, which has been open since 2012, is a great option for a modernist hotel in the heart of downtown." Full review
