THE CLASSIC STAY
IF YOU WANT ICONIC NEW YORK, THEN THE ONLY PLACE TO STAY IS THE PLAZA. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER THE FIFTH AVENUE STEPS FROM THE FINALE IN The Way We Were, OR CARY GRANT SIPPING COCKTAILS AT THE OAK BAR IN North by Northwest. EVEN THE ROOMS – ALL VELVET SOFAS AND MARBLE BATHROOMS – STIR UP MEMORIES ( The Great Gatsby, Home Alone 2).
IT’S NOT JUST FILM BUFFS WHO’LL FIND PLENTY TO LOVE. WITH CENTRAL PARK FOR A FRONT GARDEN AND THE SHOPPING HAVENS OF FIFTH AVENUE AND MADISON AVENUE ON EITHER SIDE, THIS IS THE PERFECT BASE TO ENJOY A GIRLS’ WEEKEND IN STYLE. GET LOST IN THE DESIGNER HALLS OF BERGDORF GOODMAN AND STOCK UP ON BEAUTY BUYS AT SEPHORA. AFTER SHOPPING OF COURSE FOLLOWS DROPPING, WHICH IS
MOST ELEGANTLY DONE IN THE PLAZA’S PALM COURT, OR CHECK OUT THE MORE RELAXED FOOD HALL, SERVING EVERYTHING FROM DIM SUM TO GOURMET PIZZA IN A HAPPY CONFLUENCE OF EVERY NATIONALITY – WHAT COULD BE MORE NYC THAN THAT?
THE COST THE PLAZA (FAIRMONT.COM/ THE-PLAZA-NEW-YORK) HAS DOUBLE ROOMS FROM £379 PER NIGHT (£190PP).
