The Pierre Hotel in New York is reopen on 1 June following a US$100m (£68m, 75.9m euro) refurbishment.

The Fifth Avenue-based hotel, owned by Taj Hotels, will reopen with new guestroom and bathroom interiors, a new restaurant, a new lobby lounge and a new reception area.

The restaurant, Le Caprice at The Pierre, was created in conjunction with Richard Caring, who owns the Le Caprice brand as well as The Ivy, Annabel's and other London restaurants.

James Park Associates designed the guestrooms, Champalimaud designed the new lobbies and Swedish designer Martin Brudnizki is designing the restaurant.

Heiko Kuenstle, general manager of the hotel, said: "We're extremely pleased with the results of our transformed residential-style interiors. The designs perfectly complement The Pierre's classical ambiance of quiet refinement and restore a sense of the property's original grandeur.

"We're also excited to join forces with Le Caprice to introduce our new brasserie-style restaurant, the first restaurant outside of London for this celebrated UK favourite."
