"In case the red coat- and top hat-wearing doormen haven't convinced you, the crackling fireplace and clubby interiors will certainly encourage you to sit and relax awhile."
"Entertainment industry folk have been flocking to the Bowery Hotel since its opening last spring. And it's no wonder... this stretch of the Lower East Side is quickly shedding its infamous grit."
"Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe." Full review
"Rooms have huge factory windows with unobstructed views, simple white spreads with red piping, and elegant four-poster beds." Full review

"Hoteliers Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode—the team behind New York’s Maritime Hotel—are breathing new life into Manhattan’s once-desolate Bowery with their 135-room Bowery Hotel." Full review
"An opulent 17-story hotel, it features lobby fireplaces and wood-paneled elevators, floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, and seven rooms with private terraces, hot tubs, and outdoor showers."
"This fanciful boutique hotel from prominent hospitality duo Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson is the capstone in the gentrification of the Bowery." Full review
"This hotel looks like it could have been a stage set from Gangs of New York, a retro-boho Victorian throw-down that definitely effuses its own style." Full review
"The surrounding area may feel more modern --- and far more chichi -- than it has in past years, but inside old NYC comes alive."

"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."
"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
"Inviting service makes this sophisticated and beautifully renovated hotel seem not so intimidating."
"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
"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
"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."
4.3
""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."
5 Stars

"The Pierre-by-Taj refreshes the luxury and exclusivity that have long defined the hotel." Full review
