Midtown Manhattan, New York
The Plaza
The Plaza sits at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park in a French Renaissance château that has been a defining pillar of New York's identity since 1907. While its history is vast, it remains immortalized in pop culture as the grand playground where Kevin McCallister checked in alone in the 1992 classic, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Walking into the Grand Lobby is a visceral reminder that some spaces simply don’t need updating. The gold leaf, the massive crystal chandeliers, and the endless white marble represent a standard that is still setting the bar for the city’s public face.

The Palm Court
Restaurant · Bar · AfternoonTea
The Plaza's century-old dining room and the original home of Afternoon Tea in New York. Under a stained-glass skylight that remains the most beautiful ceiling in Midtown, it's the benchmark other hotel restaurants still measure themselves against.
