Elegant Stay, But Choose Your Floor Wisely
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with an old‑world vibe—white‑gloved staff, wonderfully attentive service, and the lovely touch of being greeted by name each time we passed through the lobby. However, definitely pay attention to the reviews about room location. Our lower‑floor stay had virtually no natural light or view, facing scaffolding on one side and another building on the other.

Voltaremos!
Pros:

Localização perfeita. Nosso quarto tinha uma vista meio Central Park, meio prédios. Não tomamos café da manhã mas tinha café e croissants “complementary” na recepção das 6.30 às 08, muito legal. Staff atencioso sem ser “grudento”.

Cons:

Se a vista fosse inteiramente sobre Central Park, teria sido melhor ainda.

Décevant
Pros:

L’emplacement près de central park

Cons:

Le personnel à l’arrivée incapable d’accueillir correctement.
Pas un bienvenu, la tête baissée dans l’ordinateur c’était décevant au possible surtout quand on paye 1000€ la nuit!
Ensuite, une fois installé dans la chambre j’ai trouvé une touffe de cheveux dans la douche.

Suite Reyad
Pros:

After being a client of Suite Reyad for over four to five years, I have never experienced such dismissive and unprofessional treatment from a business that presents itself as a luxury salon.

I traveled over three hours from Port Jefferson into Manhattan for a 4:30 PM appointment. I arrived at approximately 4:50 PM, only to be told that the stylist had already left because the staff “assumed I wasn’t coming.”

What is unbelievable is that no one from the salon attempted to call or text to check whether I was on my way something that would have taken seconds and could have easily prevented this situation.

Instead, the woman at the front desk simply informed me the stylist had left and that there were “no rules” for accommodating me. The delivery was dry, dismissive, and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. There was no apology, no attempt to contact the stylist, no effort to help resolve the situation, and not even the basic courtesy of offering water or coffee after I had just spent hours traveling to the city.

When I spoke to the owner about what happened, rather than acknowledging that a simple courtesy call could have prevented the situation, he repeatedly brought up that I had canceled appointments in the past “nine times,” which he mentioned over and over as if that somehow justified the complete lack of communication or professionalism in this situation. I made it clear that those appointments had been canceled, not no-shows, which is a completely different thing. Yet he continued repeating the number as if lecturing a customer who had supported the salon for years.

At one point he even said he could charge me immediately for those nine cancellations if I wanted to “play that game,” which was astonishing to hear from a business owner speaking to a client who had been coming there for years and consistently tipping generously.

For a salon operating inside The Pierre Hotel and presenting itself as a high-end luxury experience, the complete absence of accountability, hospitality, or even basic courtesy was shocking. The entire interaction made it very clear that once a client becomes inconvenient to their schedule, loyalty and long-term support mean absolutely nothing.

After five years as a client and hours spent traveling for this appointment, the dismissive attitude from both the front desk and the owner made it clear that this is not a business that values the people who support it.

I will not be returning.
