"Located on Fifth Avenue and glittering with opulent chandeliers, this renowned Upper East Side hotel is forever tied to Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, where Donald Trump famously appears in the lobby giving Kevin directions. Although the Plaza doesn’t actually have an indoor pool—the pool scene where Kevin loses his dad’s oversized swim trunks was filmed at the Four Seasons Chicago—the decadent ice-cream sundae scene did take place in one of its luxurious suites. Beyond Home Alone 2, the building has appeared in a string of notable films including The Way We Were with Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, Sleepless in Seattle with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, and Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, cementing its status as a true cinematic grand dame." - Adam Turner
"Another of the few hotels that occupy the public imagination, this New York City grande dame is indelibly tied to its children’s book association." - Nick Remsen
"Settle in for indulgent afternoon tea—and perhaps a bottle of bubbly—for a quintessential New York winter treat." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

"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
