NEW YORK (WPVI) — The famous Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is set to close for several years to repair and restore its historic facade.<\/p>\n

Hotel’s announcement was first reported by the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fifth Avenue hotel, which has stood for more than 119 years, will close for at least four years beginning next January to restore the 18-story building’s landmark facade, according to Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the operator of the Plaza.<\/p>\n

The complexity of the facade work will require detailed planning and coordination, and compliance with historic preservation requirements, the hotel says.<\/p>\n

Other considerations related to the execution of the restoration remains under review as the process gets underway.<\/p>\n

The Plaza Hotel, which opened its doors in 1907, has maintained a unique place in New York City history. It’s recognized for its architectural character and craftmanship.<\/p>\n

It has also been one of the most frequently filmed and referenced buildings in pop culture, with one of its most famous appearances being in the 1992 hit movie, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” in which Kevin McAllister, played by Macaulay Culkin, checks into the hotel with his father’s credit card.<\/p>\n
