The Edwardian Room

The Plaza’s fabled Grand Ballroom has been the setting for hundreds of lavish events, including Truman Capote’s 1966 “Black and White Ball” to honor Washington Post publisher, Kay Graham. Capote said he chose The Plaza “because it has the only beautiful ballroom left in New York.”

Often referred to as a core piece of the DNA that makes New York City, The Oak Room at The Plaza provides an elegantly paneled, German Renaissance Revival-style space that takes you back in time. With frescoes of Bavarian castles and a grape-laden chandelier topped by a barmaid hoisting a stein hanging from the twenty-foot high ceiling, this room is unlike anything else available in Manhattan. Host your next private event in a room that has seen it all. The Oak Room and Oak Bar at The Plaza can be set for conferences, weddings, seminars and panels for up to 140 people.

The iconic Palm Court offers bespoke furnishings that provide a relaxed, yet elegant setting well-suited for either a professional breakfast meeting or an evening of cocktails crafted by our expert mixologists. Afternoon Tea truly shines with custom tableware and china, a tea list with worldly depth, and of course, a bit of Eloise too. This elegant room marked with its stained glass dome and impressive height adds a touch of old New York to a very polished and modern sense of hospitality.

One level below the Grand Ballroom lies the Terrace Room, a setting rich with its own history and charm. Meticulously restored to its original grandeur, the Terrace Room holds some of the most exquisite architecture within The Plaza. The original crystal chandeliers made by Charles Winston (brother of famed jeweler, Harry), replicates those within the Palace of Versailles. Striking yet elegant, the Terrace Room truly is a jewel within The Plaza. As a compliment to the Grand Ballroom, or, on its own, The Terrace Room plays host to a variety of New York events and meeting – large and small.

The Rose Club has an elegant ambiance that embraces the past, present and future of this legendary hotel. Located above what was once the famous Persian Room that played host to such formidable acts as Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Liza Minnelli, the walls of this lounge have listened in on many unforgettable moments in music and entertainment history.
