PB hotel design editorial

Few buildings in American civic life carry the symbolic weight of Henry Janeway Hardenbergh's 1907 French Renaissance château at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South. The Plaza has always been less a hotel than a fixed point in New York's self-image — the white-glazed brick and terracotta facade, its copper-green mansard roofline visible from the Pond in Central Park as clearly as from the street, functioning almost as a punctuation mark at the foot of Olmsted and Vaux's great park. The nineteen-story structure, designated a New York City landmark in 1969, underwent a major restoration and partial residential conversion completed in 2008, with Stonehill & Taylor overseeing the hotel interiors across 282 guest rooms and suites. The Palm Court remains the building's most architecturally irreplaceable space — a vaulted skylight ceiling, fluted Corinthian marble columns, and a Baccarat crystal chandelier of considerable scale, the room framed by potted palms in painted green jardinieres that have been a fixture here for over a century. Guest rooms show two registers: the more traditional suites deploy gilt-framed pier mirrors, Louis XVI-style commodes with ormolu mounts, and crystal sconces against white paneled walls, while the park-facing rooms adopt a softer contemporary palette of grey and warm taupe, lacquered ebonized credenzas with brass banding, and patterned drapes opening directly onto Central Park views. The lobby-level lounge, its coffered plasterwork ceiling hung with tiered crystal chandeliers above white marble floors, keeps the building's Beaux-Arts ambitions entirely intact.

"I had long wanted to experience breakfast or Afternoon Tea at The Plaza’s Palm Court. I wasn't disappointed: from the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Gladys and received impeccable, warm, and highly professional service from Elvis. The way the entire team—including the manager, Iwona—looked after us will certainly stay with me; it was exactly as I had imagined. It has definitely ensured that I will be coming back."

"An incredible experience from Gladys who welcomed us warmly to Elvis and Ivona who took care of us along the way. Hospitality and excellent customer service delivered. I am honestly a person that hardly shares a review, a guest that’s more among the satisfied guests and that’s it, But your people and place made me do it. You are amazing. Keep it up! I love love love it 🤍 Bravo"

"The Palm Court quietly screamed sophisticated elegance. From first glance at the beautiful stained glass ceiling to the last sip of tea, every minute spent was worth the visit. It was an easy Uber ride from our Midtown hotel to the famous front steps of the Plaza. The flower filled lobby was exquisite. Our hostess kindly greeted us and had us seated in minutes. Our server, Shalim Kahn, was wonderful. He was welcoming, polite and so helpful - especially since this was our first Afternoon Tea at the Plaza. He was genuine when asking about our stay in NY and where we called home. We were all going to get the same tea (4 of us). But he suggested that we get different teas to fully enjoy the experience. He was right! Of course, he's the expert. Chef came to our table to greet us and ask how we were enjoying the tasty sandwiches , scones and biscuits. He, too, asked about our NYC visit. Being my birthday, they sent a special chocolate mousse treat with candle and all. He even sent a cherry treat just for me. It was all so delicious."
