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.

Discounted Grand Suite rates begin at $3,900. For reservations, please
