The Pierre, A Taj Hotel

About The Pierre, A Taj Hotel

The Pierre’s Rotunda makes a theatrical centerpiece: Edward Melcarth’s hand-painted trompe l’oeil murals, added in 1967, sit beneath a ceiling depicting bright blue sky. That appetite for grand rooms defines this Fifth Avenue hotel, which opened in 1930 directly across from Central Park. Its French Classical architecture gives it a palatial character, while Two E Bar & Lounge offers a more residential setting. Originally the gentleman’s library, the space was redesigned by Alexandra Champalimaud to evoke an Upper East Side home and now hosts live jazz. At Perrine, French-American dishes share the menu with Indian cuisine—a fitting expression of a New York institution that is also Taj’s North American flagship.
