The Plaza Residences

The Plaza...home to little, mischievous and fictitious Eloise, featured in numerous films such Home Alone 2, and Bridewars...a place that is above all else, elegant, and one that many dream to be a part of...and what a dream to be able to own a piece of it! With around the clock service, legendary amenities, and most importantly, an exquisite pied-à-terre, who would want to leave?










For some reason, each year, I crave a visit to New York in the Winter. Perhaps it's the beautiful idea of ice skating in picturesque Central Park, being bundled up, wandering the crisp streets and window shopping, (and window display admiring, of course!) the outstanding performances, or maybe the romantic notion that the hustle and bustle of it all is so wonderful to be a part of. I typically visit during summer months, but wouldn't it be amazing to spend a Christmas there one year? Have you ever dreamed of spending Christmas in New York?

A Little Interesting Info.

"The French Renaissance chateau—style building was designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh and opened to the public on October 1, 1907. At the time, it cost $12.5 million to construct. When it opened, a room at the Plaza Hotel was only $2.50. Today, the same room costs $3,750.00." (More info here)

"After a $400 million, three—year, lobby to roof restoration by New York's ELAD Properties, The Plaza Hotel re-opened in March 2008.

The Plaza continues its long tradition as New York's premier six-star hotel, while welcoming a new tradition—The Plaza Residences—which New York's lucky few can call home. This iconic Beaux-Arts masterpiece, at the crossroads between the fabled Central Park and the legacy of Fifth Avenue, is considered to be a cornerstone of New York. The restored masterpiece is now home to 180 elegant condominiums, including multi—level penthouses, magnificent suites and grand apartments."
