Description

Located at Central Park, Fifth Avenue, where spectacular art, thriving culture, endless shopping, unbelievable dining and lively nightlife all take place in the heart of New York City. Amid the whirl of excitement you will find The Plaza, a timeless landmark offering the city’s most impeccable hospitality. Where luxury living and world-class service are the standard for those of discerning taste.

Striking the balance between its storied past and limitless future, The Plaza – the original luxury lifestyle destination – has emerged from a recent $400 million transformation to reflect a new and contemporary spirit. While traditions remain, such as the opulent grandeur of the Beaux Arts décor, the ritual of Afternoon Tea at the Palm Court, and the superb ambience of the legendary Oak Room and Oak Bar, exciting new offerings include the elegant Champagne Bar and stylish Rose Club, as well as an interior Tranquility Garden with reflecting pools, elaborate lighting and exotic foliage.

The Plaza offers 282 distinctive guestrooms, including 102 suites, which boast the largest square footage of any luxury property in New York. From the sumptuous décor to the impeccable white glove service, The Plaza is an extraordinary hotel that offers every indulgence from the moment a guest checks in, including an elite group of white gloved butlers on every floor. Old world luxury and elegance are complemented by discreet placement of the latest technology thoughtfully integrated throughout each room bringing guests high-definition television, wireless high-speed internet access, and a touch panel screen to customize the room environment.

Amenities include a world-class retail collection debuting in late Summer 2008, featuring exclusive boutiques and purveyors of fine food, as well as health and wellness facilities to include a Caudalie Spa, Fitness Center by Radu, and Warren Tricomi Salon.

As part of the lobby to roof renovation, the opulent Grand Ballroom and Terrace Room have been restored to their original grandeur. Lavish social and business events will continue to be held in these historic landmarks, which are at the heart of The Plaza’s legacy.

Timeless. Captivating. Unforgettable. A seamless fusion of traditional and modern, and a passion for uncompromising service combine to create an experience that is indulgent, exquisite, and truly unforgettable.

The lounges

There are 3 lounges in the Plaza, as well as two restaurants.

Rose Club

The Rose Club, embodying the grandeur of The Plaza with a splash of contemporary style and spirit, is located on two levels overlooking the new Fifth Avenue lobby. The stylishly elegant ambience of the new Rose Club embraces the past, present and future of the legendary Plaza and is a treasured setting for the making of new Plaza memories. The Rose Club menu features a selection of delectable cocktail appetizers and also a lighter epicurean menu to satisfy the tastes of those wishing to indulge in a lighter gourmet fare.

Champagne Bar

The Champagne Bar has a magnetic draw to guests and locals alike. Upon stepping into The Plaza’s exquisite new Fifth Avenue lobby, guests are drawn into this unique lounge by its enchanting design and spectacular location. By night, this exquisite lounge is New York’s preferred choice for tasting the world’s finest champagne. At dawn, guests may indulge in freshly bake pastries and an extensive array of specialty coffees.

Oak Bar

The Oak Bar, once the offices of the brokerage firm, E.F. Hutton, became a part of The Plaza’s heritage in 1945 and soon became an icon on its own accord. Overlooking the vibrant views of Central Park, the newly restored Oak Bar has resumed its standing as New York's most famous bar since it reopened in Summer 2008. Enjoy a martini in a comfortable club setting with dark sable oak walls, leather bound club chairs and the original cityscape murals by Everett Shinn. [1]

Oak Room

Originally named, “The Men’s Bar,” the restaurant at the Legendary Oak Room has been restored to its original grandeur. A German Renaissance tour de force, the oak-paneled room looks virtually the same today as it did when The Plaza opened in 1907.
