The Plaza, Classic New York Hotel

The Plaza (5th Ave. and Central Park South) is probably the most iconic of New York’s classic hotels. It’s a National Historic Landmark that opened in 1907 and is sometimes confused with the nearby Trump International Hotel. Trump actually owned The Plaza – the iconic, classic, “real” Plaza – for a few years in the mid-1980s.

The Plaza cost an intemperate $12 million to build in the early 20th century, a sum that was needed to help defray the expense of procuring top-drawer luxury: marble in the lobbies, mahogany doors, Irish linen, gilded china and more than 1,500 crystal chandeliers.

The hotel was designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, who also created the Dakota, the Upper West Side apartment building where John Lennon once lived with Yoko Ono (and outside of which he was famously gunned down), and the original Waldorf Hotel on the site that’s now the Empire State Building.
