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.

We went for afternoon tea for a friend’s 61st birthday and we had a wonderful time. We ordered the Central Park Tea, which comes with scones, sandwiches, and dessert. We also had a pot of roobios with vanilla notes. Delicious! We had the best waiter, Kabir Ahmed, who has been at the Plaza for 34 years! He shared stories with us about celebrities as well as leading politicians from the 80’s, 90’s, and today who have come to have tea and dinner. He was super responsive and attentive and brought out a birthday cake with a candle as well. Beautiful afternoon at the Plaza! Will be back! Read less

The breakfast at the Palm Court was fantastic. Our server Kazi was gracious, knowledgeable and helpful, the fresh orange juice was delicious and the breakfast potatoes were the best I have ever eaten. My family of 7 was well taken care of. We highly recommend.

Our Palm Court Server Shalim was attentive and lovely! We had a celebratory tea for my cousins engagement. It was such fun! Highly recommend! We set it up in advance with Cathy since it was a larger group. The tea service was excellent and everything was delicious!
