Wholesale Starring the Plaza: The World's Favorite Hotel

Architecture / Buildings/Landmarks & Monuments / A visual celebration of a cultural icon! From the day it opened its doors in 1907, the lavish nineteen story French Renaissance building on the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South was simply the grandest hotel in the world. The Plaza's lavish interiors and exteriors have remained sought-after settings for films, TV, shows, and important social events—from Barbra Streisand to The Beatles, anyone who is anyone has stayed there, partied there, and who-knows-what-else there. In the second edition of Starring the Plaza, a labor of love conceived and created by pop-cultural historian Patty Farmer, the hotel shines in a new light.
