The Plaza New York

Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Feel like you’ve been here before? You have, in the movies anyway! From Home Alone 2 and Bride Wars, to Sleepless in Seattle, the location has proved a blockbuster backdrop for some firm film favourites. The Plaza certainly lives up to its name, and being a National Historic Landmark it’s full of old-world elegance and grandeur. Just south of Central Park, there’s plenty of places to eat and drink right on your doorstep, but some of the hotel’s own restaurants are not to be missed. And not forgetting the aptly named Champange Bar, where you can sip on some bubbles whilst looking out on Fifth Avenue and The Pulitzer Fountain.

We had an amazing experience, enjoying our Afternoon Tea on Christmas Day. The food was delicious. We were served caviar, sandwiches, scones and a wide variety of petite deserts. Our server, Farez was very attentive and made our experience memorable.

Afternoon tea at the Plaza was one of the highlights from our Christmas in New York trip! The food was delicious and my husband and I split coffee and tea. Being in the Plaza at Christmas time felt like magic, but Khalid’s kindness, service and attentiveness made it even more special. He was knowledgeable and shared history of Plaza, took pictures of us to help us capture the moment and just really made our day with his friendliness. Would 100% recommend this experience to anyone.
