The hype
Guests are awestruck by the lobby and location, but many feel the rooms are tired and the service doesn't justify the $1,000+ nightly rate.
The Plaza Hotel
$750-1,200+/ 晚
如果以下情況適用，請預訂 You want to live out your 'Eloise' or 'Home Alone 2' childhood fantasies in the most famous building on Central Park South.
為什麼人們喜歡它
- Unbeatable location right across from Central Park
- Historic Beaux-Arts architecture that feels like a castle
- Afternoon tea at The Palm Court is a bucket-list tradition
快速概覽： It's a legendary museum piece that you can sleep in, but don't expect modern tech or snappy service to match the exorbitant price tag.
由 @before_we_cant 評論: I treated the family to a bucket-list stay at The Plaza for Christmas. The suite was incredible—gold taps, a massive living room for the kids, and a view of the Louis Vuitton building. It felt delightfully naughty to splurge like this!

Reality check

- You are traveling with a dog (exceptionally pet-friendly)
- You want to be steps away from 5th Avenue shopping

常見問題與隱藏小貼士
預訂前您真正想知道的一切。
Is there really a pool?
No. Despite the famous scene in Home Alone 2, there is no swimming pool at The Plaza.
Does it cost extra to bring a pet?
Surprisingly, no. The Plaza is one of the few luxury hotels with no pet fee, and they accept dogs of all sizes.
Is breakfast included?
Generally no, unless you book a specific 'Bed & Breakfast' package. Expect to pay $50+ per person at The Palm Court.
What is the 'Urban Experience Fee'?
A mandatory daily fee of ~$65 + tax. It includes credits for food and the shop, plus gym access and WiFi.
Can I just walk in to see the lobby?
Security is tight. You usually need a room key or a restaurant reservation to get past the initial foyer.
Is the food hall still there?
Yes, The Plaza Food Hall (concourse level) offers various high-end counter-service options, great for a quick, cheaper meal.
內幕秘訣
- ✨
Use your $50 daily food credit for room service breakfast if you don't want to deal with the Palm Court crowds.
- ✨
The 'Champagne Bar' has the best view of the Pulitzer Fountain and is often quieter than the Palm Court.
- ✨
There is a 'house car' (often a Maybach) available for drop-offs within 10 blocks, but it's first-come, first-served—ask the doorman early.
出發前需要知道的 5 件事
💡The 'courtyard view' rooms are incredibly dark, even at midday.
💡You might be charged ~$20 just to have a coffee maker brought to your room.
💡The hallways can feel surprisingly dated with worn carpets compared to the lobby.
💡The elevators are small and can be slow during peak check-out times.
💡The 'Eloise' shop is a major tourist draw, meaning the lobby area near it is often chaotic with families.
