The 11 Grand Suites, two with terraces that can accommodate parties up to 30, are designed with custom furnishings, hand-crafted finishes and elegant details, such as rich silk and brocade fabrics, Murano glass chandeliers, hand-knotted carpets and Bang & Olufsen audio systems.

Following a meticulous $100-million renovation, The Pierre now offers 189 redesigned residential-style guest rooms, including 39 suites and 11 Grand Suites, all featuring a quiet feeling of luxury and complemented by superb services personally crafted to attend to each guest's every need.

A particular treat for guests is dining at Le Caprice, which opened its first U.S. restaurant outside London in New York at The Pierre. Le Caprice has established itself as a social institution in London with its effortless style, coveted cuisine and well-heeled crowd.

Mirroring the London restaurant and maintaining its deep-seated commitment to the art world, Le Caprice New York houses a series of photographs of iconic sixties model Jean Shrimpton by legendary British photographer, David Bailey. Long-standing favorites from the London restaurant, such as Thai-Baked sea bass, will continue to appear within the newly designed New York menu.

Two E, a new bar/lounge in The Pierre, features classic cocktails and light fare in an Alexandra Champalimaud-designed space. Afternoon tea is served from 3-5 pm. Culinary selections include The Pierre Salad with langoustines.

Business groups hosting meetings and receptions at The Pierre may select from three new elegant boardrooms with state-of-the-art amenities that can accommodate groups up to 75. These business-centric rooms complement the hotel's expansive social banquet spaces on the second floor that can accommodate private events for up to 1,500 guests.
