The Plaza Hotel
New York, NY

Plaza Hotel from Central Park

Palm Court Restoration

The Plaza Hotel is committed to the careful restoration of this landmarked building and public spaces as designed by Henry J. Hardenbergh in 1906. Working first with Donald Trump and more recently with Fairmont Hotels, Lee Harris Pomeroy Associates prepared a master plan that includes the restoration of selected public spaces and the design of multi-level hotel suites within the great mansard roof and a new health club and spa.

Extensive research and archival work with original photographs, drawings documentation, and technical materials was required. Detailed historic research and investigation of public spaces of the original Palm Court, dome and historic Rose Room led to the preparation of detailed design and construction documents. Kitchen and services areas throughout the hotel were studied and reorganized; Administrative and service spaces have been rearranged for efficiency of operations.

In addition to the restoration of the public areas, 14 luxury penthouse suites are planned for the top floors located within the mansard roof which are presently occupied by offices. With panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, the suites, including eight duplexes, range from one bedroom at 1,600 square feet to three bed-rooms at 3,600 square feet. This project was approved by the NYC Landmarks Commission and the Department of Buildings. Lee Harris Pomeroy Associates' work with the Plaza is on-going. We are currently working on several projects, including a plan to address American with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues, the realization of the penthouse suites and the development of a large, full-service spa and health club.
