Beautiful, but Unwelcoming

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

East-mt TripAdvisor review

The food was excellent, and plentiful, the drinks were expertly created, and the service was fantastic. But, there is too much security and some unfriendly, almost arrogant staff members. The main entrance is across the street from a construction site, so it’s a little dark and grimy. In addition, the many velvet ropes and unsmiling, burley security men are intimidating. Sadly, there were no warm smiles, no “welcome to The Plaza.” Once up the stairs and into the beautifully decorated foyer, we were greeted by more security men, and velvet ropes. Not knowing where the Champagne Bar was located, we continued straight to the next area, a passageway that was lined with velvet ropes pushing us directly up to the almost empty Palm Court restaurant’s host’s podium. Where the unsmiling host pointed us back to the Foyer. Back in the Foyer, we asked one of the many guards where the Champagne bar was and he pointed at the lobby. Finally, seated at the bar (not actually wide enough for meal service, but beautiful), the thankfully welcoming and attentive bartender (Hussein?) saved the day. He was great and downright sweet! After paying our appropriately priced, for The Plaza, bill we took a quick photo and left. I had to go to the bathroom, but decided to wait until we got to our show, as I honestly felt I didn’t want to go through the security guys again. Sadly, while the architecture, food and bartender service was excellent, and the price appropriate, I doubt I’ll return to The Plaza. I just felt unwelcome.

Khalid at the Palm Court

nicolecg2186 TripAdvisor review

At our stay at the Plaza we dined at the Palm Court for high tea. We had the pleasure of having Khalid at our table. Not only was he extremely warm, he continuously checked on us, gave us so much attention and even took amazing group photos. My four year old absolutely loved him. I hope to see him again.

Josette C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Unfortunately the “world class service” was missing from the moment we arrived. Mishandling of our booking, room service, scheduling of in room dining, knowledge of the staff of what was advertised as hotel special events, concierge knowledge of the macys parade ( steps from the hotel)—just truly from every department and section of the hotel

Dear Ms. C., Thank you for taking the time to complete a survey following your recent stay at The Plaza. At our hotel, we all take great pride in providing our guests with the highest standards of service, therefore, I am very sorry to learn that we failed to meet your expectations on this occasion; please allow me to express my sincere apologies. Your feedback is very important to us and I wish to assure you that we take all comments seriously and we will address these issues accordingly. Although we may not always enjoy receiving negative feedback, it certainly allows us to continuously review the services we provide and help us to concentrate our training efforts where needed to build the confidence and skills of our colleagues. We do hope the rest of your time in New York was enjoyable, and that you will allow us another chance to better serve you next time your travels bring you to New York City. Sincerely, Sam Ioannidis Managing Director
