"This stately Manhattan hotel—immortalized in Home Alone 2—leans into that silver-screen association with a 'Home Alone 2: Fun in New York' package that includes a limousine tour of landmarks, a large cheese pizza for limo dining, and the over-the-top 'Home Alone' sundae; for a more traditional stay, the 'Suitest Season of All' package delivers a seven-foot decorated Balsam Hill tree in your suite." - Judy Koutsky
"A New York first-timer’s go-to for decades, this Beaux-Arts landmark opened in 1907 at the iconic crossroads of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, where you can live out Eloise fantasies over afternoon tea in the Palm Court, sip drinks at the Rose Club, and browse the boutique-filled lower level. The location is tailor-made for a classic tour, with Central Park’s horse carriages lining up outside, Fifth Avenue shopping stretching south, and the 59th Street subway providing easy access to the rest of the city." - Alexis Benveniste
"For tourists and locals alike, having tea at the Palm Court is a rite of passage. The Plaza knows this, and they also know this extends to your pup—the hotel has been pampering pooches since it opened in 1907. Guests who opt for the Pampered Pup Package can expect their dogs to be presented with Evian-filled water bowls, a tea tower of pup-friendly macarons, a plush doggie bed, and a matching Plaza bathrobe which, per the website, ranges from XXS/XS (usually fits breeds like a Chihuahua) to XXL/XXXL (Husky Siberian, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, and the rest). Furthermore, it states: “If your pet’s size is not reflected in our inventory, we would be happy to make a custom order.” In short, Eloise will have nothing on your furbabies upon arrival at The Plaza." - Lilah Ramzi
"Arguably the most iconic hotel in all of New York City—who can forget Carrie Bradshaw’s memorable “your girl is lovely, Hubbell” in front of the same legendary address Barbara Streisand immortalized in 1973—it hosted 2024’s “Garden of Time” guests, including model Taylor Hill and designer Prabal Gurung’s starry assemblage (Demi Lovato, Maria Sharapova, and Laufey)." - Nicole Kliest, Christina Liao
"The word “iconic” gets thrown around a fair bit, but if there’s any hotel in New York City that truly deserves the label, this is it. The Plaza stands in one of the city’s most prominent locations, at the southeast corner of Central Park, and its French Renaissance style is immediately recognizable. Its role as the setting for the famous 1955 children’s book Eloise is just one of its many pop-culture connections. Behind the scenes much has changed since its 1907 opening, but its Beaux-Arts atmosphere remains as ornate as ever — and under the steady hand of the Fairmont hotel group, the Plaza is among New York’s finest traditional luxury hotels." - The MICHELIN Guide
