Some hotels you stay in; The Plaza you experience. Rising over Fifth Avenue at the corner of Central Park South since 1907, this French Renaissance-style landmark remains the definitive symbol of classic New York luxury. From the marble lobby to the legendary Palm Court, every corner feels like a scene from a film — because it has been, many times over.
Location is everything here, and The Plaza has the best of it. Central Park is literally across the street, Fifth Avenue’s flagship shopping stretches to the north, and the Theater District is a short stroll away. Whether it is a weekend getaway or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you could not ask for a better home base.
The Plaza is ideal for romantics, luxury seekers, and first-time visitors who want the quintessential New York story to tell. Do not miss afternoon tea beneath the Palm Court’s stained-glass dome, and do splurge on a park-view room if you can — waking up over the treetops of Central Park is unforgettable.
