History

• 1930 : The opulent 714-room Pierre Hotel,
went up on a prime site at the corner of Fifth Avenue at 61st Street,
commanding unrestricted views of Central Park.

It cost $15 million to build and opened to great fanfare in 01-31-1930.
This new hotel was Georgian in design,
an imposing structure of granite and cream-coloured brick,
capped with a tall tower of gleaming copper,
inspired by a French chateau.
Pierre promised his hotel would be
"characterized by simplicity and refinement".
The restaurants and bathrooms will have the ultimate touch.
