The Pierre Hotel
Apartment 402

The
legendary Pierre Hotel was built in
1929 when restauranteur and hotelier
Charles Pierre Casalasco, son of Jacques
Pierre, owner of the famed Hotel Anglais
in Monte Carlo, collaborated with E.F.Hutton,
Walter P. Chrysler and other Wall
Street financiers to raise $15,000,000
to create a hotel he hoped would be
a "majestic monument to simplicity,
beauty and refinement."
Casalasco
built his hotel in the finest location
on Fifth Avenue and presented his guests
with magnificent suites with extraordinary
Central Park views, wood-paneled salons
and cuisine by August Escoffier, the
great French chef.
Today,
this fabled beaux-arts landmark has
remained one of the truly great hotels
of the world retaining approximately
77 cooperatives which have been purchased
by the world's most distinguished tenancy
which included in the past Cary Grant
and Elizabeth Taylor. |
