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

Rough Guide "You’re really paying for the 360-degree views, the full spa, the heated rooftop pool (one of very few in the city) and the scene."
Michelin Guide "Their striking rooms and attractive suites show off a thoroughly modern vibe with an understated luxury."
Frommer's "Despite its potentially excessive trendiness, the 14-floor, zinc-colored Gansevoort offers excellent, personable service." Full review
Fodor's "Though the nearby Standard New York has stolen some of its thunder, there's plenty to draw guests to this chic Meatpacking District pioneer... a superb choice for urban poolside lounging." Full review

"This 187-room Meatpacking District hotel is more than its lauded rooftop pool." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With 187 rooms and 23 suites, the Hotel Gansevoort is a stylish resort located in New York’s Meatpacking District." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A 45-ft (13.5-m) rooftop pool and Ono, an indoor-outdoor restaurant, are among the features that draw models and celebrities to this sleek, high-rise addition to the hip Meatpacking District."
Time Out "By day, you can soak up the sun, and the Hudson River panorama, on a lounger by the 45-foot heated open-air pool." Full review
BlackBook "Glowing glass beacon in the Meatpacking District. Proof that New York can do Sunset Boulevard. Rooftop bar and pool attracts all varieties of social barnacles."
Zagat3.5
"An "unbeatable" rooftop pool and bar, where "party people" play and take in "beautiful" views, is the "crown jewel" of this "young, trendy" boutique hotel."
