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

Michelin Guide "It has a young, jazzy appeal. Yabu Pu shelberg pushes the envelope with a vaguely vintage and completely original look."
Concierge "If you're over the hotel-as-nightclub experience and want a look at how stars actually live in the city, Smyth is a good place to find out."
Fodor's "Resting almost on top of a convenient subway stop, this thoroughly modern hotel makes TriBeCa a welcoming landing spot for visitors." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Smyth Tribeca features a sleek modern design with classic touches."
Zagat3.5
""In the heart of TriBeCa" this "swanky and upscale" boutique is "surrounded by nice restaurants" and offers "easy access to the subway"."
Frommer's "A solid citizen with a dash of whimsy." Full review
Afar Magazine "Mirroring the neighborhood’s style, this hotel is understated and chic." Full review
Jetsetter "Handsome Tribeca sleep with a top farm-to-fork restaurant, buzzy bar and central location near the downtown sights." Full review
Gayot "From the lobby and its stunner of a bar to the 100 guest rooms, every last inch of Smyth Tribeca is a sexy and stylish treat."
Travel + Leisure "A recent renovation gave the Smyth Hotel a new mid-century residential vibe, with the lobby envisioned as Tribeca's living room." Full review
