The Plaza Hotel

The Plaza Hotel is the most recognizable and mythologically significant hotel in the United States, a National Historic Landmark at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South whose Grand Ballroom, Palm Court, Champagne Bar, and century of hosting the most important social, cultural, and commercial events in New York have made it the most universally recognized hotel name in the world and the single most ceremonially weighted address in American hospitality. The Eloise children's book series, the Beatles' 1964 American debut accommodation, and decades of cultural appearances have given The Plaza a level of popular cultural recognition that no other hotel in the country can match, and the location at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Central Park gives groups the most iconic urban backdrop in American travel. For planners booking New York programs where the hotel's name alone is the program credential and where the occasion requires the weight of the most famous hotel in the country behind it, The Plaza is simply irreplaceable.
