The Pearl

Imperial Suites’ first American hotel revels in sheer, unabashed luxury. Acquired by the Hong Kong-based hotel company in 1988, the Beaux Arts-style former Grosvenor Hotel now offers Asia’s utmost standard of service in Midtown Manhattan. The tradition that began in 1928 with the original Pearl Hotel in Hong Kong now extends to a host of other fine hostelries around the world.
Once past the five-bayed Fifth Avenue facade of hand-carved limestone, guests of The Pearl check in at a small, discreet front desk. From the reception area to the restaurants, all public spaces surround visitors with the swirling romance of Art Nouveau styling, a mode that reached its first height of glory in late nineteenth century Paris. Works of art by such French masters as Majorelle, Gallé, Mercier, and Gaillard set off handmade European carpets, marble floors and staircases, mahogany and burl wood wall panelling and glittering chandeliers.
The opulence of Paris in an earlier age infuses the private quarters as well. Among 250 rooms and suites, the largest measures over 2,850 square feet. All are spacious and filled with custom-designed furnishings-such as Art Nouveau cabinets to hide remote-control TV’s, king-sized hardwood head-boards with curvaceous Belle Époque designs, billowing balloon shades covering the windows, and cherubs and flowers garlanding the lamps.
Marble baths soothe travellers with spacious showers, six-foot tubs, bidets, robes, slippers, and Lanvin toiletries displayed on golden china trays. Messages arrive at a guest’s front door on a silver platter carried by a page in white gloves and pillbox hat. Such extraordinary service echoes the Imperial Suites standard in everything they do from same day laundry and dry cleaning to daily newspaper delivery, citywide beepers, valet parking, and room service around the clock
Translation - Italian
Il primo albergo della Imperial Suites in territorio americano si distingue per il lusso assoluto e spudorato. Acquisito dalla società di Hong Kong nel 1988, l’albergo in stile Beaux Arts già noto come Grosvenor Hotel, offre ora il miglior livello di servizio tipico dell’Asia nel bel mezzo di Manhattan. La tradizione iniziata nel 1928 con il capostipite Pearl Hotel di Hong Kong si estende ora a numerose altre strutture alberghiere in giro per il mondo.
Superata la facciata a cinque campate in pietra calcarea scolpita a mano e affacciata sulla Fifth Avenue, gli ospiti del The Pearl si registrano presso un banco piccolo e discreto. Dall’area di accoglienza ai ristoranti, tutti gli spazi comuni abbracciano i visitatori con l’atmosfera romantica dello stile Art Nouveau, un genere che ha raggiunto i suoi primi picchi di gloria a Parigi alla fine del diciannovesimo secolo. Opere d’arte di maestri francesi del calibro di Majorelle, Gallè, Mercier e Gaillard esaltano tappeti europei tessuti a mano, pavimenti e scalinate in marmo, rivestimenti murali in mogano e radica e lampadari scintillanti.
L’opulenza della Parigi di un tempo andato pervade anche gli appartamenti privati. Tra le 250 camere e suite, la più grande misura più di 265 metri quadrati. Tutte sono spaziose e arredate con mobili su misura quali armadietti in stile Art Nouveau per celare televisori dotati di telecomando, testiere dei letti matrimoniali in legno massiccio a sagoma curva di gusto Belle Epoque, vaporose tende a palloncino a copertura delle finestre e cherubini e fiori a decorazione delle lampade.
Bagni in marmo coccolano i viaggiatori con docce spaziose, vasche di grandi dimensioni (1,80m), articoli da toilette presentati su vassoi in porcellana dorata. I messaggi arrivano alla porta degli ospiti appoggiati su vassoi d’argento portati da valletti in guanti bianchi e cappello a tamburello. Questo straordinario livello di servizio richiama lo standard di Imperial Suites in tutto ciò che viene offerto: dalla lavanderia e il lavasecco consegnato in giornata alla consegna giornaliera dei giornali, cercapersone per tutta la città, parcheggio con servizio di posteggiatore e servizio in camera per tutto le ore del giorno
