This hotel has a french, old world feel to it. If you like contemporary decor, this isn't the hotel for you. It is older, but well maintained. The lobby is small and the bar even smaller, but the staff is very friendly and accommodating. We stayed at this hotel Dec 2012 because it was close to my daughters apartment on... More

The Plaza Athenee in NYC is a great place to stay on the upper east side. The concierge was very friendly and helpful and all the service was very good. Room was small but linens were divine. It's a quick walk to great Madison Ave shopping and numerous museums and yummy restaurants. Had a divine breakfast there one morning but... More

Elegant atmosphere and attentive, skilled staff. My room was very comfortable and peaceful. Bath was not small and was well equipped. Central location still feels residential. Hotel feels like Paris or London.

This was my third visit to the Plaza Athenee in NYC. It is a small cozy hotel in the prime Madison Ave. shopping area very near Barney's. It has an old fashioned feel and the rooms and bathrooms are very small. Service in the bar is very friendly and quite slow. The staff are thoughtful - they treated us to... More

Overall a nice hotel with good quality. Limited reception area where luggages are stocked/accumulated. Very attentive and solution oriented staff especially at the reception and concierge. Moderate size deluxe rooms (ask for a room receiving daylight). Small size bathroom with limited amenities. Small but very cosy bar, entertaining magician show on Mondays...Reserve your taxi if you are travelling in peak... More

Maybe it was AMEX FHR and maybe it was that the PA felt badly that I had such a terrible experience at the Palace NY (that I had to check out after checking in) but, when I arrived, not only was my room ready but I had been upgraded to the penthouse. WOW! Talk about an amazing hotel room! The... More

I've stayed at the Plaza Athenee several times over the past few months since it is part of the AMEX FHR program. Well, the hotel sure is showing its age. Common areas are looking quite worn and shabby, the bar/restaurant is aging (not so gracefully) and the rooms, especially the bathrooms, are very out-dated. That said, the location is right... More
