Pierre Hotel Guests Will Be Singing the 1930's Classic: 'Happy Days
Are Here Again' The Pierre is rolling back its room rates for those
celebrating wedding anniversaries as far back as 1930 NEW YORK,
Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Remember when Coca Cola was only a dime,
candy was a penny and hotel room rates were $18.00 a night? Well,
The Pierre New York, A Four Seasons Hotel is honoring room rates of
days gone by. Those people celebrating their anniversary can check
into the Pierre New York at the rate they paid on their wedding
night. What is the catch? All guests must show their original hotel
bill from their special night at The Pierre in order for their rate
to be honored and a two-night minimum stay is required. "The idea
came to me recently, when I received two letters in one week with
lovely sentiments about the guest's fond memories of their wedding
nights at the Pierre and attached were their original hotel bills.
One was from 1943 for $6.75 a night and the other was from 1954 for
$18.00 a night," says Guy Rigby, general manager of The Pierre New
York. This isn't the first time Rigby has received these types of
letters -- the hotel's reservations department receives faxes of
original hotel bills from guests celebrating their anniversaries on
an ongoing basis. "Many guests have brought their Pierre
memorabilia to show us when they check-in and often ask if we can
honor their old rate from their past stays," adds Rigby. Now they
can. The Anniversary Memory Weekend package consists of a two night
minimum stay, anniversary wedding cake with a split of champagne
upon arrival and American breakfast for two in Cafe Pierre or
through room service beginning at $550 for the first night and the
second night at the "anniversary rate." Also available is the
opportunity to recreate the "wedding dinner" for two through room
service ($250) and for the concierge to organize a special ceremony
to renew the couple's wedding vows at supplemental charges. In
addition, this package is subjectto availability and is offered
from now until September 30, 2004. Reservations may be made through
Four Seasons Worldwide reservations system at (800) 332-3442.
