Assouline Bookstore at The Plaza Hotel
4.3 (29)shop
4.3 (29)Perched on a Plaza mezzanine, this cozy balcony bookstore pairs luxury books and velvet decor with a quirky life-size sheep.
Description
Tucked away above the lobby, this small shop functions as a balcony where the clinking sounds of the hotel drift up from below. Beyond its books on fashion, travel, and engineering, the space offers design objects and home fragrances. The shop is open to the public; visitors can ask the doorman for entry even when hotel access is restricted.
