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.

It was our annual trip for tea at the plaza with my girls. This year it was made extra special because of the service we received from Porfirio! What a kind man. Made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond in all areas of service.

The moment we exited our limousine, the staff were like family. Kevin & Freddy were always welcoming and had amazing tips about the city. At the front desk, Russell was so kind to my family and I. Russell remembered our names and consistently offered help while making us feel at home; he was amazing. Mr. Waheed Gill was also like family. Unbelievably kind to not just our children, Lindsay and I, but to all families, what a great Godly man Waheed is. Mr. Kofi Amponsah simply rode the elevator with us but we all laughed all the way up to the 17th floor! Later that evening Kofi brought amazing gifts for our children; what an unexpected but so very appreciated blessing! Who takes the time to do something like that?! Wow. Juan, the hotel driver, was always willing to bring us somewhere great to start our day while also explaining many great details about the city and sites. We were very appreciative for his kindness. All to say, this was the best hotel stay we have EVER enjoyed. Period. Not just because the accommodations were unparalleled, but the staff, the staff made the stay unforgettable. God bless the staff for making our trip so memorable. We felt like family and it was only because of them. The Near Family Rich, Lindsay, Gabriel, Ava & Barrett Read less
