My first visit to NYC (and definitely not the last!) was so memorable, especially having stayed at the iconic Plaza! I am drawn to Fairmont Hotels so of course I had to book this one, we stayed for 4 nights. The location is amazing! Right at Central Park, and close to everything in Manhattan. The The style really mixes the... More

We stayed at the Plaza during my business trip. I say it is a once in a lifetime experience because, although elegant and very nice, we would never choose to pay out of our own pockets for the experience. We walked across the street to Central park and had a great time walking and people watching. 5th avenue shopping is... More

For a perfect lunch treat, go to the Oak room at the Plaza for a smoked salmon bagel and a margherita! This will set you up for a spot of roller blading or ice skating on the Wollman Ice Rink which you overlook from the Oak Room window. A perfect New York City treat!

What could be better than staying at this fabulous hotel within such a beautiful part of New York City? Imagine early mooring runs in Central Park followed by a luxurious breakfast and shopping on Fifth Avenue. Reservations are needed well in advance for the breakfast which is served in a leisurely fashion amidst the finery. Downstairs is a restaurant area... More

While staying at the "W Times Square" which I would HIGHLY recommend - a friend and I dropped in at The Plaza just to say we had been there. Upon our arrival, there was a man extremely unhappy with his service in the Afternoon room/wine bar. I thought there is always someone unhappy. To my surprise - it took 25... More

Dear Sandra, We are so sorry to hear of your disappointing visit to The Champagne Bar. This is certainly not typical of the level of service we provide at The Plaza. Please be assured that we have reviewed your comments with the team to ensure that the service in this area is monitored and improved. We do hope you will... More

After attending a wedding and visiting friends in Pennsylvania and New York, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a night in the city at the Plaza...and a treat it was! The only downside was the considerable cost of staying there. We did realize it was New York City and that everything is exponentially more expensive; that was... More

This was our fourth stay at The Plaza. Our first was in 2009 when we married here and loved it that much we insist on spending the last week of our annual month-in-NYC here. Coincidentally, we had our wedding anniversary during this stay :) We usually stay in an Edwardian Suite, but booked a Rose Suite this time (kindly upgraded... More

We stayed at the Plaza in April of 2012 and enjoyed our time there. It is centrally located so that we could go for a walk in Central Park or shop at the many stores nearby. We have stayed in several other top rated hotels in New York and this is my new favourite. Had a nice lunch on the... More

Booked hotel through for my adult son, wife, and myself. Paid for accommodations for 3 adults, one would expect sleeping arrangements for three adults. Room only had a king bed, no pullout sofa. Management of Plaza refused to provide a rollaway without a $75 charge per night or provide us a room with two double beds. Heard one excuse after... More

We have visited NYC many times, and each time we try to stay in a new hotel....until we stayed at The Plaza Hotel. Our first stay was in January 2012 and then returned in April 2012 again. This hotel exceeded our expectations. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, clean and the service is unmatched. It's luxury and elegance at its... More
