Most hotels like to talk up their deluxe or premier rooms and suites - they don’t often feature or try to sell their standard rooms by providing lots of pictures and information. Our recurring feature - “Standard Rooms - What You Get“, goes to the luxury hotels of New York and provides you with more information on what a guest in a standard or basic room will be offered.

At The Pierre Hotel in New York City, formerly a Four Seasons and located on Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 61st, the basic or standard room is the “Superior” category and features the following:

- Interior views with 280 sq ft (26 sq mts);
- European style colour themes of white English rose, blue Oriental toile and black rose;
- Sitting area with a wingback chair, writing desk, night tables and armoire;
- Black and white marble bathroom with a tub/shower combination;
- and One King or two twin beds and the space to fit one rollaway or crib.
