The Plaza
4.5 (6,759)hotel
4.5 (6,759)At the edge of Central Park South, this grand landmark offers afternoon tea beneath The Palm Court’s stained-glass dome.
Description
Operating at Fifth Avenue since 1907, the hotel draws visitors who wander its public spaces much like a museum. Beyond fine dining at The Champagne Bar and wellness facilities, guests explore themed shops—including a Home Alone retail spot and an Eloise boutique with a post box where fans write to the literary character. While many come for photo-worthy details and grand decor, visitor feedback balances praised hospitality against steep pricing and occasional service hiccups.
