1. Heaven on Earth
The Fairmont’s Plaza Hotel in New York City is reminiscent of a era when men wore top hats with their suits and women never left their homes with a single hair out of place. From top to bottom, the entire hotel oozes in charm, luxury, and extravagance.

2. Sweeping Central Park views
Situated between Central Park and 5th Avenue, Fairmont’s Plaza Hotel is in the heart of the Upper Eastside. Sweeping views of New York City are guaranteed from virtually every room, so your stay will always feel like one in a million.

3. Even the accents have accents!
When it comes to decorating, no hotel does it quite like The Plaza Hotel. Every embellishment within the 300+ rooms and suites has been painstakingly chosen because they were simply the very best. You can find these Baccarat Crystal sconces in several rooms, including The Palm Court restaurant.

4. Vintage accents with modern finishes
Vintage accents may be the first things to catch the eye, but it’s the subtle modern finishes that set the tone. An iPad can be found in every guest room for the guest’s utmost convenience, for example. The Plaza Hotel was the first hotel in the world to do so.

5. One word: Pink
The Eloise Suite is a little girl’s dream come true. It’s a special tribute to a precocious little girl who lives in a room on the “tippy-top floor” named Eloise. Parents, sorry, but no adults allowed. You can book the Nanny Suite right next door.
If the amount of pink is a little much for your kiddos, ask about the Tower Suite — an honor given only to the noblest little boys and girls.

6. Live the outlandish lifestyle you’ve always wanted to
The Plaza Hotel is one of those places where you feel like you could become Jay Gatsby. It’s fitting, then, to have the Fitzgerald Suite, which is completely inspired by The Great Gatsby theme and the famous author who used to frequent the hotel.

7. Blast from the Past
But what good is a Jay Gatsby without a glass of champagne in his hand? The newly renovated Champagne Bar is a nod to the Champagne Porch that first occupied the same spot back in 1907. You can complete the experience with an order of caviar.
Afternoon tea isn't just for the English
8. Have a spot of tea at The Palm Court
Although you’ll be tempted to spend plenty of time in the Champagne Room in the evenings, The Palm Court will occupy your time during the day. The expansive room design is meant to bring the spirit of Central Park indoors. I think it works, don’t you?

9. Only the best for the guests
The Plaza is a five-star luxury hotel. Besides its magnificent suites (say hello to the Hardenbergh Terrace) and the details, the concierge service, specially designed itineraries and the hotel’s endless activities really seal the deal. Let’s face it, Fairmont simply doesn’t allow anything less than the best.
