Our summary of The Plaza

If you recognize The Plaza Hotel from the famous Home Alone 2 movie, you're absolutely correct! This iconic symbol of luxury and elegance (it is a National Landmark after all) is situated at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South. The location is unbeatable - close to many attractions in New York and entertainment venues on Broadway. Fifth Avenue's luxury shopping district and the Museum of Modern Art are also within walking distance. It was opened in 1907 and has since become a symbol of opulence, attracting dignitaries and celebrities from around the world.

The hotel has many unique guestrooms and the largest suites in New York City. Each room exemplifies timeless elegance, from the sumptuous bedding and spacious sitting areas to the oversized marble bathrooms equipped with 24-carat gold-plated fixtures. It's hard to find a fault in rooms so luxurious but here it is - luxury can only go so high whereas the price can increase without a limit. While The Plaza epitomizes luxury, such opulence comes with a premium price tag. Additionally, due to its historic nature, some rooms may have layouts that differ from contemporary hotel designs though not necessarily in a bad way.

For dining, The Palm Court (previously known as the tea room) is renowned for its traditional Afternoon Tea set in grandeur and elegance. There are more than a few other options too. For example, The Champagne Bar offers a selection of the world's finest champagnes, whereas the Edwardian Room is your go-to venue for a classy evening with amazing views. Unfortunately, the Oak Bar has been closed for a while now. Additionally, the hotel offers in-room dining.

You can rejuvenate by taking advantage of an array of personalized treatments at the Guerlain Spa. The state-of-the-art fitness center does not disappoint either.

The Plaza also provides well-appointed meeting rooms and event spaces, including well-recognizable venues such as the Grand Ballroom and the Terrace Room. These are suitable for both corporate functions and social gatherings.

In summary, The Plaza Hotel provides an outstanding hotel experience in a renowned building, beautiful rooms and a wonderful location.
