The Plaza, New York City
Based in midtown Manhattan, The Plaza has been one of New York’s most treasured landmarks since 1969. For over 100 years, the hotel has welcomed guests from around the world, including dignitaries, Hollywood royalty, and world leaders.
Providing a luxurious backdrop for famous blockbusters, guests can indulge in an opulent five-star stay whilst being conveniently situated near New York City Center, Rockefeller Center, the Radio City Music Hall, and Central Park. The century-old, 282-room Plaza is a New York landmark. A $400 million overhaul in 2008 gave the huge rooms gold-plated bathrooms with showers and tubs, but it also converted most rooms overlooking Central Park into privately owned residences.
Still, the exceptional spa, 24-hour butler service, and history make it worth the splurge.

It’s an excellent base for exploring the shopping along Fifth Avenue — from the famous Tiffany & Co. to high-end flagships like Gucci and Versace.

Plenty of delis and Starbucks cafes feed the cubicle occupants — Midtown East is where many New Yorkers come to work. Nightlife is scarce, but excellent, and typically pricy cuisine is always within walking distance.
Big, Louis XIV-style rooms were all renovated in 2008 with luxurious Italian bedding, but views are mediocre as very few overlook Central Park.
