The Plaza Hotel

The sprawling 8,000-square foot Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa is the hotel’s crown jewel. Services focus on all natural, vine and grape-based ingredients harkening back to the auberge’s French founders. Aside from 14 treatment rooms, there are 2 hammams, a Vichy shower and a signature vino therapy barrel bath. Guests in need of a makeover can arrange for an appointment at the on-site Warren-Tricomi Salon that measures in excess of 6000 square feet. Or head to what is arguably the city’s most comprehensive fitness facility helmed by Radu – a marquee name in the workout world. The gym offers a plethora of exercise classes, a basketball court, an Olympic-size lap pool and cutting edge cardio and strength training equipment. When ready for refueling opt for dapper resident Palm Court serving farm-to-fork French-inspired dishes. Meanwhile, the obvious choice for pre-or-post dinner cocktails is the opulent Champagne Bar in the lobby. Over the years, New York City’s The Plaza Hotel grand dame has not lost any of her charm and, with glitzy amenities and posh style, is absolutely splurge-worthy.
