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."

Gayot "Situated in what was formerly The Setai, this Langham hotel upholds the brand's century-plus tradition of excellence in hospitality and service."
BlackBook "Miami condo cult drops sixty stories of lux living on Fifth, hands over the reins to Langham Place. Inside, keep thinking big: majority of rooms top 700 square feet."
Zagat "This luxury Midtowner... lures weekenders and worker bees with a range of contemporary, warm-hued accommodations featuring marble bathrooms."
Frommer's "Half hotel, half apartment building, and formerly known as the Setai, this ultra-exclusive skyscraper property is expert at coddling its guests." Full review
Fodor's "Setting new standards for luxury, the towering, limestone-clad Langham Place, Fifth Avenue ... was conceived as an opulent crash pad for wealthy overseas tourists." Full review
