月租50万美元：纽约最贵的公寓长什么样？

    纽约最贵公寓的月租金高达50万美元，是纽约第二贵公寓租金价格的两倍。这套常住型公寓涵盖皮埃尔酒店39层，包括6间卧室和6间浴室。皮埃尔是一家豪华五星级酒店，位于纽约中央公园东南角61街，其中包括私人合作公寓。

    仅仅在塔塔套房面市一个月后，某“国际房客”全额支付了2014年12月当月的租金，刷新纪录。但是，39层不足以容纳他或她庞大的随行人员团队，所以这位神秘的租客最后额外支付15万美元，预订了该酒店的另一套公寓，这还是优惠价。

    那么，50万美元/月的公寓到底长什么样？

    The most expensive New York rental of all time costs a cool half million dollars per month—double what you’d play for the city’s second-priciest place. The extended stay, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half bath rental encompasses the full 39th floor of The Pierre, a luxury five-star hotel with private co-op residences, located on 61st street at the southeast corner of Central Park.

    Barely a month after the suite hit the market, someone described only as “an international renter” paid the full, record-setting rent for the month of December 2014. The 39th floor wasn’t big enough to accommodate his or her extended entourage, so the mystery renter end up booking another suite in the hotel for an additional $150,000—although they got a bit of a break on the cost of that one.

    So, what does $500,000 a month look like?

    上图是Tata总统套房。其面积为1980平方英尺，是39层六间套房中最大的套房。租住一晚，需要支付2.9995万美元。套房配有慕拉诺玻璃吊灯、土耳其大理石浴室、电视机和储备丰富的酒吧。

    装饰色以低调的燕麦色、白色和浅灰色为主，配备满铺地毯、丝绸和锦缎织物、以及金色的小件家具。簇绒沙发和其他黑木定制家具带有印度殖民地风格，以表示对酒店业主泰姬酒店度假集团（塔塔套房以泰姬集团母公司塔塔企业集团命名）的敬意。柔和的装饰或许是为了突显景色——租客可从39楼两侧远眺中央公园南部的景色。

    Pictured here is the Tata Presidential Suite. At 1,980 square feet, it’s the largest of the six suites on the floor and, if rented on a per-night basis, costs $29,995. The suite has Murano glass chandeliers, Turkish marble bathrooms with a TV and a stocked bar.

    The unobtrusive decor is done in oatmeal, white, and pale gray, with wall-to-wall carpeting, silk and brocade fabrics and golden accents. The tufted sofas and other dark wood custom furnishings bear a colonial Indian style in honor of the hotel ownership, Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces (the suite is named for the Tata business group, Taj’s parent company). Perhaps the subdued decor is intended to take a back seat to the the views, which include vistas of southern Central Park from two sides of the 39th floor.
