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.

The Plaza is the best when it comes to high tea. The food, the service, and the ambiance is amazing. My mom and I went and had a wonderful time. The tea is absolutely delish. The hotel itself is gorgeous and worth the trip alone! We will be back to the Plaza!
