There are iconic hotels, and then there is The Plaza Hotel New York. The Fifth Avenue National Historic Landmark opened on the southeastern corner of Central Park in 1907, and has graced the pages of famed literary works and movie screens ever since. The Beloved Beaux Arts hotel is synonymous with high society, from afternoon tea at Palm Court to white-gloved butlers delivering your freshly pressed cocktail wear. The quintessentially New York hotel raises its already high bar with the 2,100-sq-ft Grand Penthouse Two-bedroom Terrace Suite on the 20th floor. Its two stories are embellished in chandeliers, velvet upholstery and gold leaf. The crowning glory? An elegant staircase leading skywards to the primary bedroom with an expansive private terrace.
