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.

The Plaza was just as lovely as expected and the service there was second to none. My husband left his phone in the cab on the way there and the concierge arranged to get it back. He handled the whole thing. Room service was excellent too, and the room and bathroom were both spacious and beautiful.

Tea was fantastic at The Plaza Hotel! Highly recommend! Shalim Khan, our server, was very attentive. Entire staff, ambiance and food were great! Perfect atmosphere for a NYC experience! Make reservations in advance because it was totally full on. Tuesday afternoon.

Shalim helped us with a fabulous birthday experience. They brought out a little cake and gave us exceptional service! The sandwiches were delicate, tea was special and unique, and the seating was very charming. People were well dressed too.
