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 had an amazing family dinner at Palm court. Mohammed, who was serving us, was absolutely amazing!! He was able to manage a large table and handle the kids so well. He was very patient with them. He served our food quickly and effectively. Everything was delicious! Daria, who was assisting Mohammed was awesome as well. They are a great team.

Mohammad was the absolute best waiter and made the experience so enjoyable! He was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of! Would come back again for dinner thanks to him! The food and drinks were delicious and the hotel was beautifully decorated!
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Best waiter we have ever had for tea. Fariz was wonderful. (some in the past were awful). Pastries need improvements.

Our waiter was wonderful. Fariz couldn't have been better. Best we have ever had there. We had stopped going to the Plaza because of poor wait staff. The sandwiches were pretty good. The pastries definitely need some improvements. Although my daughter said her chocolate covered apple was the best she ever had.

The hotel was fabulous. Service was top notch. Staff at the front desk were courteous and friendly. Our room was perfect with a great view. And perfect location for getting around to sightsee. I would gladly return to this hotel when I go back to visit New York.
