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.

Porfirio was an ex Ellen’s and attentive server. The sandwiches were all delicious and worth the price. My daughter and I really enjoyed ourselves.

I had an amazing time here. Hassan brought us macaroons while Ivica gave us some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. I really love this bar and would come here often if I could afford to stay here in nyc all the time lol………………………………………………………………….
