Birthday Delight!

“I had a fantastic experience at The Palm Court while celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The attentive service from our waiter, Elvis, made the occasion feel extra special. They even gathered around to sing Happy Birthday to her, which was a nice moment. The ambiance was amazing, with beautiful floral arrangements enhancing the atmosphere. The fact that we could bring our own cake and they were happy to serve it added a personal touch to our celebration.” view full review

High Tea Experience

“My visit to the Palm Court for high tea was exquisite. The charming presentation of the six different delicious tea sandwiches and the flaky scones was good. I had a large pot of my chosen tea, which was a treat on its own. The attentive service from Ursula truly made our visit lovely, and I left wishing I could experience this lovely tradition again on my next trip.” view full review

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of attending a themed event at The Court, celebrating the royal wedding. The atmosphere was electric with live videos being shown, and the English buffet breakfast was nothing short of excellent. With mini-Polaroid cameras provided at each table, it offered a fun way to document the festivities, making it a truly engaging experience.” view full review

My stay at The Plaza had its ups and downs. While I loved the luxurious atmosphere and fantastic service, some elements left me wanting more. The Vanderbilt Suite was a spacious retreat, but I encountered a few cleanliness issues and dated aspects. Overall, I enjoyed my stay but found it could use some polishing to match the five-star expectation.

The Plaza certainly embodies an iconic luxury experience, melding historic charm with spacious, elegantly designed rooms.

The fitness room was well-equipped and perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, my experience at the spa was marred by a non-functional steam room for several days, which indicates a lack of urgency in maintenance.
