"All rooms face out, many to the Hudson, for splendid views... and have modern decor and lofty ceilings."
Michelin Guide "It shouldn't really come as a surprise that lnk48 is making big news. After all, this hotel occupies a former printing house. And yes, while it may be housed in the far reaches of the..."
Frommer's "An intriguing, more serene alternative than those a few blocks east... with spectacular city views." Full review
Fodor's "Spacious, reasonably priced rooms, expansive views, a sceney rooftop bar and pool, and great service make up for a long three-avenue walk from the nearest subway." Full review
Star Service "The lobby sets the tone here and stays true to Kimpton's colorful design ethic. Cherry blossom-print fabrics and planed surfaces put a Zen spin on the decor." Full review
Gayot "The 222 rooms and suites feature bold art and colors, and some stunning NYC and Hudson River views."
BlackBook "Who says publishing is dying? It's got a theme hotel! SF-based Kimpton brings style and luxury to converted '30s printing house."

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."

"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
