Anna, Martha and J.Lo Have Eaten at Le Caprice in The Pierre. Have You?
The official opening of Le Caprice in the Pierre Hotel was on Monday, but well before then a string of celebrities had already graced the deco-styled restaurant. As an outpost of the London Le Caprice, in the same stable as fellow London hotspots The Ivy and Annabel’s, the celeb contingent makes sense. Stars love nothing more than being first to try something, even if it does involve putting deliciously rich food in their mouths.
Anna Wintour threw a Vogue book party there, while J.Lo, Marc Anthony and Naomi Campbell dined with shoe god Christian Louboutin at the opening celebration. So far only renderings have been available of the black-and-white dining room, lined with David Bailey photographs—however we do note a heavy use of mirrored panels, which the A-list is sure to adore.

One Night Only: The Pierre Hotel's 'Fashion's Night Out' Cocktail
Looking to get drunk and then drop a lot—and we mean a lot—of money? Then The Pierre is the right hotel for you during New York's Fashion Week in mid-September. You see, on September 10, which is the eve of Fashion Week, stores and fashion designers throughout the city are throwing open their doors for a night of shopping specials and city-wide events.
Stores will have discounts, and a few luxury shops will have notable special happenings. For example, Chanel on 57th Street is having a design-your-own-bag studio. To get you all loose with your charge card, The Pierre has invited a cocktail specifically for Fashion's Night Out. It's called the "GinGin" and it's $14. It sounds pretty refreshing: fresh cucumber juice, fresh mint, Hendrick's gin, and Canton Ginger liqueur garnished with a cucumber wheel.

Le Caprice Crosses Le Atlantic to Join The Pierre
Le Caprice, London
The latest news to come in about the Pierre: the quintessentially upper crust New York hotel is injecting a bit of British class. The restaurant formerly known as the Café Pierre is giving way to an offshoot of London’s swanky plated Le Caprice.
When it’s actually opening seems to be up in the air at the moment. The NYT says it’ll be in September, as the crowning glory to the hotel’s refurbishment. Le Caprice’s website, though, has it down for “late summer 2009.” We’re thinking it would be overly-hopeful to call September late summer – maybe July or August?

The Pierre NYC To Reopen With Hallucinatingly High Rates
New York's iconic Plaza Hotel may be having serious issues after renovation, but that isn't phasing the equally historic Pierre Hotel at all as it preps for a June 1 grand reopening. Situated on the Upper East Side amongst diamond dealers and ritzy boutiques, The Pierre is out to attract only those who can still afford the best of the best despite the recession. To prove this, they are making no deals with their room rates; expect $816 for a classic room and $1,640 for a suite--and those are the "early bird" specials!

The Lowell Brings Old-Fashioned Fireplace Lovin' Back to NYC
Don't worry, New York's classic Lowell Hotel is not running a Valentine's Day deal, but instead focusing on the idea of romance in New York City in late winter. In any case, it's a bit late to book anything for the dreaded V-Day at this point, so we turn to the unique features of The Lowell and their "Dinner and a Movie" package.
