The Plaza Hotel, New York City's most iconic hotel, will officially reopen on May 20th after more than a year of being closed.

The hotel, located at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, offers guests the height of luxury within its historic walls, which has hosted presidents and celebrities and has been featured in movies and books.

The hotel offers guests 282 distinctive rooms, including the Eloise-themed suite, the Royal Suite overlooking Fifth Avenue or the Fitzgerald Suite, designed by costume designer Catherine Martin.

Guests who reserve any of the hotel's one bedroom or two bedroom Legacy Suites, which offer views of Fifth Avenue or Central Park, will receive arrival and departure transportation up to 100 miles from the hotel.

The Plaza Hotel is participating in Accor's ALL Safe and Well program, including features such as contactless check-ins, in-suite COVID-19 testing as well as heightened health and housekeeping service.

"We are enchanted to welcome guests once again. New York is not complete without The Plaza and we're thrilled to contribute to the energy and excitement that is returning to this magical city," said Managing Director George Cozonis. "We look forward to the honor of hosting the hotel's loyal guests who return year after year, as well as the privilege of introducing The Plaza to a new generation of luxury travelers."
