It’s been on the market, unsold, for three years—but it wouldn’t be all that surprising if someone finally paid the New York–record $70 million asking price for this triplex at the Pierre. (Two buyers have, in fact, offered more than that amount, though neither could make it past the Pierre’s super-tough co-op board.) The triplex was once the ballroom of the hotel, said to be inspired by the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles. But Versailles doesn’t have 41st-story views in four directions, now, does it?
