The Plaza New York

Midtown, New York

Virgin 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.

An iconic hotel that made our trip very special. It was luxurious and decadent with impeccable service. Great location. We were treated like royalty by the staff. Food was delicious. We now consider it our home from home in New York. I have been to NYC before and did not expect to still be wowed- I was wrong the Plaza wowed me.

Enjoyed a splendid afternoon tea at The Plaza, made exceptional by Shailam's warmth and hospitality. Every detail was perfect, from the ambiance to the service. One of the best experiences in the city hands down! P.S. The English Cucumber sandwiches are to die for.

Had a wonderful time at afternoon tea at The Palm Court. A great way to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my mom and mother-in-law! We all opted for the Central Park Tea with the added champagne, and it was perfect. Thank you to Shalim Khan for the excellent service!
