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."

""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

"This hotel really lives up to its claims of sophistication and elegance."
Michelin Guide "The exterior reads Upper East Side formality, but inside, this hotel screams exuberance."
Frommer's "There is nothing not to like here, with the exception of the steep rates: this kind of luxury does not come cheap." Full review
Concierge "An haute hideaway on Manhattan's Upper East Side since 1927, the venerable Mark reopened last fall with a radical new look, trading in its erstwhile French pedigree for Parisian pop."
Fodor's "If you took every Upper East Side real estate fantasy and condensed it into a modern hotel, you'd come up with the Mark." Full review
Oyster Luxury
"The Mark, an historic hotel built in 1927, re-opened in 2009 as one of the best contemporary luxury hotels in New York." Full review
Jetsetter "Grande dame turned design glamazon with a Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant and hot bar." Full review
Star Service "On the corner of Madison Avenue at 77th Street, this rather showy Upper East Side (UES) address has settled into its revamp, but still manages to create a buzz." Full review
Gayot "The exterior may be classic Upper East Side elegance, but peek through the front door, and within a second, you'll understand that there's more to this hotel than first meets the eye."
BlackBook "Grand Hotel nods and general ‘30s Paris vibe. Subtle and serene, marked by discreet, attentive service."
