About The Plaza

The Plaza has stood at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South since 1907, a French Renaissance chateau-style hotel designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh and now a National Historic Landmark. The Palm Court, at the center of the ground floor, serves afternoon tea under a stained glass ceiling restored in the mid-2000s, and there is also a Champagne Bar and The Plaza Boutique. The hotel is home to Eloise, the girl from Kay Thompson's books, who has her own shop here.
