The Plaza New York

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

Feel like you’ve been here before? You have, in the movies anyway! From Home Alone 2 and Bride Wars, to Sleepless in Seattle, the location has proved a blockbuster backdrop for some firm film favourites. The Plaza certainly lives up to its name, and being a National Historic Landmark it’s full of old-world elegance and grandeur. Just south of Central Park, there’s plenty of places to eat and drink right on your doorstep, but some of the hotel’s own restaurants are not to be missed. And not forgetting the aptly named Champange Bar, where you can sip on some bubbles whilst looking out on Fifth Avenue and The Pulitzer Fountain.

One of my fav spots in the city, whether of Breakfast, lunch, or afternoon tea! Kaylin is a great staff, always has a pleasant attitude and energy 👏🏽 👌🏽 ... a bit on the pricey side but absolutely worth it! The afternoon tea is bomb though! Thank me later!

We had afternoon tea at Palm Court, & the service was lovely. Mr. Khan took good care of us & made sure we had everything we needed. The food was great & the tea was on point. Nice ambiance, not too loud. All in all a great afternoon with an old family friend.

My wife and I got married at The Plaza 10 years ago and decided to return for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. The day before we were due to check in I received a phone call from Jacqueline with The Plaza’s guest experiences. Jacqueline was lovely and said that she knew that we were returning to celebrate an anniversary and she and The Plaza wanted to make it extra special for us. I was delighted to hear from her and for our anniversary to be acknowledged. I did not expect for Jacqueline and her team to go above and beyond for us. When we walked into our suite, we had a bottle of champagne waiting for us, fresh rose petals were scattered throughout the room and a picture of us was beautifully framed next to some (delicious) chocolate covered strawberries. Jacqueline went out of her way to also include personalized notes and stuffed bears for our children. Everything was tastefully done - it was perfect. Our room was spotless and had everything we needed. We also had a great experience with the concierge - they were able to secure reservations at some hard to get NYC restaurants. Thank you, Jacqueline, and the entire team at The Plaza for reminding us why we chose to get married there 10 years ago. Read less

We went for vegan afternoon tea. Shalim was our server and he was wonderful! The atmosphere was incredible and the fact that they had vegan options was amazing! It’s definitely worth the hype and praise. They made my wife and I feel so accommodated. We will be back

On a weekend long birthday trip to New York City I knew the plaza would be a cherry on top of the whole experience. I am so grateful we went there. The food was stellar. The ambience is second to none. It really felt like an incredibly special experience to be there. Fariz, our waiter made us feel like the only ones in the restaurant. I was given special treats for my birthday which was an unexpected touch. The whole history, mood and aura of the place was not lost on us. I can’t wait to take my daughters back! Read less
