    Hotel Pierre: Palace in the Sky By Stanley Turkel, MHS, ISHC Did you read that a penthouse triplex at the Hotel Pierre in New York City is for sale for $70 million, the highest price ever listed for a New York residence? At 13,660 square feet, that works out to $5124 per square foot. The major feature of the triplex of the triplex is the 3,500 square foot Grand Salon which was the Club Pierrot, an exclusive supper club. But in the depths of the Depression, the Club disbanded in three months. Later, the Pierre Roof was the favored site for debutante receptions, weddings and gala banquets. It often featured Shep Fields and his Rippling Rhythm orchestra. In the hot New York summers before effective air conditioning, the Pierre advertised “the highest and coolest hotel roof in Manhattan” to compete with the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf-Astoria. That’s the magic of The Pierre, the hotel that has been synonymous with European-styled elegance ever since restaurateur-turned-hotelier Charles Pierre Casalasco collaborated with Wall Street financiers to realize his dream of opening a grand French château on Fifth Avenue. The son of Jacques Casalasco, owner of a restaurant in Ajaccio, Corsica (birthplace of Napolean, incidentally), left Corsica at the age of eighteen and secured a job as a page boy at Monte Carlo’s Hotel Anglais in 1897. This was the golden age of the French Riviera where kings, princes and grand dukes came to vacation, eat and drink and gamble in the casino. Later, Pierre moved to Paris where he learned about food and beverage.
