Rough Guide Star
"The Plaza has come back from its hiatus looking better than ever."
Michelin Guide "The esteemed Plaza is neck and neck with the Waldorf-Astoria in the race for New York's most recognizable hotel."
Fodor's "Eloise's adopted home on the corner of Central Park, the Plaza is one of New York's most storied hotels, hosting all manner of dignitaries, moneymakers, and royalty." Full review
Lonely Planet "Suitably set in a landmark French Renaissance-style building, its 282 guestrooms are a suitably regal affair, with sumptuous Louis XV-style furniture and 24-carat gold-plated bathroom faucets." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The exceptional spa and 24-hour butler service make it worth the splurge." Full review
Travel + Leisure "For a European-palace-style experience, this is the only game in town." Full review
DK Eyewitness "New York’s 1907 Grande Dame has emerged from a $400-million face-lift agleam with Baccarat chandeliers, vast expanses of marble, and large, luxurious rooms."
Time Out "The opulent vibe extends to the bathrooms, which feature mosaic baths, 24-carat gold-plated sink fittings and even chandeliers—perhaps to make the foreign royals feel at home." Full review
Star Service "Guests here enjoy housekeeping service twice daily, same-day laundry and dry cleaning, round-the-clock room service, babysitting, and a liberal pet policy." Full review
Gayot "The conversion of some of its guest rooms into residences aside, The Plaza has been and continues to be quintessential New York City."

Gayot "Sophisticated decor includes oversize paneled walnut headboards, a sleek neutral color palette and fur throw-covered beds."
Zagat "The historic MetLife clock tower overlooking Madison Square Park has been revived as a luxury hotel whose understated vibe stands in stark contrast to the bustle of NoMad just outside its doors."
Travel + Leisure "The 273 rooms have sleek furniture and sizable showers, and many look out on the Empire State Building." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Taking up residence in a historic clock tower (once the tallest building in the city), The New York Edition is the epitome of understated elegance." Full review
Jetsetter "New York it-spot in a Madison Square Park landmark with a destination restaurant and a buzzy library bar." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"This was once the tallest building in the world and modelled after the bell tower of Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Today, it’s a modern, airy clubhouse." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "It’s bang on Madison Square, literally eye-to-eye with the Flatiron, but you’ll not hear one siren squeal; one yellow cab beep; or even the shouts from an overzealous frat party." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"The Edition is a couple hundred dollars less than the luxury mainstays you'd find further uptown, but it's just as comfortable." Full review
OysterLuxury
"The historic 1909 Met Life clocktower that the property resides in is a highlight in itself, while another top perk is the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant." Full review
Fodor's "Based around the “hotel as a private home,” this is the sort of house you hope to get invited to dinner." Full review

Should the Lobby Bar be too much of a scene, jog upstairs to the Bar, adjacent to Clocktower, for pints and flights and a round of pool.
