Summary
The Plaza Hotel said it will shut in January 2027 for at least four years, a closure that immediately upended wedding plans at one of New York’s best-known luxury venues.
The 1907 Manhattan landmark said extensive restoration of its historic façade would be too intrusive to hotel operations to stay open during the work.
A 38-year-old bride, Christine Carney, told the New York Post she booked a roughly 200-person May 1 wedding nearly a year ago and fears losing money already paid.
Online reactions focused on the difficulty of replacing the Plaza on short notice, especially for couples with ceremonies already scheduled.
The Fifth Avenue hotel has long been a high-profile wedding and pop-culture site, hosting receptions tied to the Kennedy and Nixon families and appearing in films including Home Alone 2 and Bride Wars.
