New York City’s Plaza Hotel is closing for at least four years for repair and restoration work on its facade.<\/p>\n

The iconic Fifth Avenue hotel<\/a>\u00a0will close starting in January, officials announced<\/a> Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Plaza has been a landmark in Manhattan for more than 100 years. It first opened its doors in 1907 and has been recognized for its “architectural character, exceptional craftsmanship, and enduring presence.”<\/p>\n

“Understanding the unique place in New York City’s architectural heritage and cultural history it holds, The Plaza Hotel is advancing plans for repair and restoration works to its landmark-protected fa\u00e7ade,” the announcement stated. “The undertaking reflects the complexity of maintaining a property of such architectural and historical significance, with careful consideration given to preservation requirements and the building’s long-term care, as well as the safety of our guests, employees, and the wider community.”<\/p>\n

No details about how much the makeover will cost or specific renovations were released.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The announcement said the plans require detailed planning and coordination with stakeholders and adherence to historic preservation requirements.<\/p>\n

The last time the hotel closed was during the coronavirus pandemic<\/a> in 2020, when it shut its doors for more than a year. It also closed from 2005 to 2008 for a $450 million lobby-to-roof restoration.<\/p>\n

“Home Alone 2,” “Bride Wars,” and “The Great Gatsby” are just a few movies filmed<\/a> at the hotel. Meanwhile, the classic children’s books Eloise at the Plaza and Eloise at Christmastime are about a young girl living at the top of the hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
