Verdict
The Plaza Hotel

Is The Plaza Hotel worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, The Plaza Hotel needs the right timing and tolerance.

Gilded ballrooms, the Eloise legend, and a Fifth Avenue address that trades on grandeur and history. Electric for romantics and first-timers chasing classic NYC opulence; wrong for travelers who want modern, intimate, or quiet.

Price
$700+ / night, far higher for suites
