Yes—this is the Plaza, as in Neil Simon's celebrated'Plaza Suite'. This is one of New York's grandest hotels, built in 1907 in the French Renaissance style. The setting on Fifth Avenue and Central Park could not be more magnificent. Replete with the splendor of crystal chandeliers and views of the inner court, city or park, rooms are plushly decorated with quality furnishings and fabrics. In 2008 the hotel completed a USD400 million renovation, which included downsizing the 802 hotel accommodations to 282, allowing a higher level of personalized service, including a butler on each floor. A new lobby off the Fifth Avenue entrance has been created and the Grand Ballroom restored.
