5. The Plaza in New York City
Stepping into The Plaza feels like entering a living monument to New York’s rich and glamorous past. Since opening its doors in 1907, this legendary hotel has welcomed a dazzling array of guests—from silver screen icons to actual royals. I always remind my clients that The Plaza isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a cinematic landmark, having starred in classics like Hitchcock’s North by Northwest and The Great Gatsby. Every room carries a distinct charm, with features like exposed brick ceilings and elegant Jazz Age accents that whisper stories of a bygone era. For me, there’s no better way to cap off a Manhattan evening than sinking into the plush velvet chairs at The Rose Club, cocktail in hand, soaking in the timeless atmosphere.
