  • I told my wife I had to go to NYC on business and would be staying at The Plaza. She actually beat me to NY since I had to travel with business partners. The Plaza is like what used to be The Ambassador in LA. It is an institution. Just the right amount of snobery, friendliness, and if you're living there, THEY KNOW....

    The Oak Room is by far one of the more unique character parts/flaws of The Plaza. As a place where you can "be seen without being seen" the service is wonderful and the food, though overpriced is great.

  • The is THE hotel. Full of luxury, you dine, sleep, and even shower in the best way possible. With a beautiful view of Central Park this hotel does not come at a "convenient" price, but every penny is worth it! With either a guestroom or a suite you'll definately leave happy! All rooms include flat screen monitors, Internet service, video games (on request) along with MANY other things.

    Anything you could possibly think of, they have! (or will get for you upon request)...You walk in and its like a fairy-tale!

  • I spent one night here, and had enought. After seeing it on Home Alone, I thought that it would be a great expreience, but after staying here, I was truly shocked at expensive this place was. In the minibar, you can buy an average can of coke for something like 4 dollars. The staff is great, but most of them just want your generous tips. I got a room with a terrible view. The room is just like any other hotel's, except there is a chandelier in the middle of it. While I would stay here one night just to see how it is, for the next couple of nights I would stay the the Marriott in Times Square and get a suite with the amount of money it costs to get a normal guest room in the Plaza. The Oak Room and the Palm Court, the Plaza's restraunts are also extreamly expensive. While the food is great, you must really need to have a tounge for a few items which are impossible to pronunce.

    There is no pool, but an overpriced spa which replaced it. While my memory is a bit fuzzy, I do remember that they had a workout room.

  • First class hotel that is somewhat affordable. Stroll down Fifth ave., or take a walk in the park.

    The Oak Room is a classic old Bar.

    If you want to pretend you are famous, stay here. Luxurious in everyway, this hotel is way out of my price range, but I love the architecture.

    The Plaza: The Way We Were   Compare Rates NEW!
  • Satisfaction:
  • My stay there was brief and revolved more around the guy I was seeing who was staying there, as I lived in NYC at the time. The building is beautiful and the view from our room was of Central park, room 1621 as I recall. The plaza is currently closed but scheduled to re-open in 2007 – see below for more info. The building is beautiful and grand in stature. You have seen its exterior and interior in more movies than most other Hotels. The lobby is lined with marble and dark wood that oozed class as well as crystal chandeliers. It really is a site to see. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. The room we stayed in was small but served its purpose. The bathroom was very nice and the shower was fantastic. I have thick hair so a good shower head makes all the difference. One of the biggest perks of The Plaza is location. You are across the street from Central Park, Tiffany's and other fabulous shopping is but blocks away and if you ever get lost… most people know where it is located. The Plaza also offered the Palm Court Restaurant were you could get a spot of tea (traditional high tea) and some finger sandwiches. It’s a Mecca for all little girls that read the Eloise books (drawn by Knight). The Plaza and Palm were her home. For those that have been there you have most likely passed through the lobby and run across Eloise. The painting is being taken care of but I don’t know that she will return at the grand opening. From what I understand The Plaza is currently closed for a make-over and partial conversion to condos. This landmark building (1969) will go from 805 hotel rooms to a mere 348 rooms and 200 condominiums. They say that they are keeping the Terrace Room and Grand Ballroom. Both will benefit from an overdue TLC session and should look like new once opened sometime in 2007.

    Although the new floorplans look like the hotel rooms will face an alley, the condo's will have the Central Park views that the building is know for.
