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.

I had the pleasure of working at The Plaza for a press junket and cannot say enough good things about the staff — particularly Babul, Evan, and Susan. Babul was absolutely wonderful. He kept the food stations full and fresh at all times while greeting everyone with warmth and humor. He has such a fun personality that brightened the room and made the long workdays lighter and more enjoyable. Evan from room service went far above and beyond. While I was working through lunch, he noticed I hadn’t eaten and thoughtfully offered me a delicious matcha (which he later followed up with another one!). When he realized the chicken from lunch was gone, he didn’t stop there — he worked with his manager, Susan, to bring me croissants and a fresh plate of chicken. It was an incredibly kind and generous gesture that turned my whole day around. Susan, as the manager, truly sets the tone for this level of care and hospitality. It was clear she leads by example, making sure every guest feels valued. Her willingness to step in and ensure I was taken care of showed her professionalism and genuine kindness. The Plaza is already a legendary hotel, but it’s the people like Babul, Evan, and Susan who make it truly unforgettable. They made my experience 10x better and I am so grateful for their hospitality!

As always afternoon tea at The Plaza was an incredibly special experience. The whole team - and especially our server Syed - made us feel like royalty. The delicious scones, sandwiches and cakes, the beautiful ambience and the attention to detail always make this an iconic NYC experience that must be enjoyed at least once!

My daughter and I have had tea many times in the Palm Court. Shalim and the entire team take excellent care of us. The beauty of the Palm Court is unmatched.
