reservations may just turn out to be a minor inconvenience. Here is the list, with the rates listed per

that Coco herself lived in for 37 years.

Are you aware that the Plaza is currently closed?

What about the Bridge Suite at Atlantis? That sucker runs like $25k a night.
Nicole Weston Apr 2nd 2006 6:55PM
The Bridge suite, for some reason, wasn't on Travel Channel's list. It got it's very own post, instead: http://www.luxist.com/2006/04/02/the-bridge-suite-at-the-atlantis/

The Plaza is no more. It's being turned into luxury condos. Only the lobby will remain accessible to the public with shops, restaurants and the famous tea room.

The suites at the LV Strip mega hotels (Bellagio/Wynn/Ventian, etc) are all considerably more expensive than these. What's this list based on?
Bobbie Apr 12th 2006 2:48PM
The Plaza Hotel closed about 1 year ago! You must have meant a different hotel?
Daniel Apr 12th 2006 3:22PM
VERY outdated. As others mentioned, the Plaza is closed and Le Cirque hasn't been at the New York Palace for a year now. Sloppy.

Typical AOL content....they ran this same article at least 4 times in the past. Ever notice how many articles and other "content" are rehashed from the past? No fact checking, not even any spell checking in their articles and news stories.....
Michele Apr 12th 2006 3:28PM
Those prices are so ridiculous they're indecent. Well, now you know why so many millionaires end up bankrupt!
Michael W Apr 12th 2006 3:44PM
The Presidential Suite @ The Plaza in New York was amazing. I had a great time when I spent the week there. Planning on going back this summer for two weeks.
Stephen Apr 12th 2006 3:55PM
The prices of some suites are absolutely insane.$15,000
per weak or so would seem atleast ok, but 15k for just one night is ridiculous.
Stephen Apr 12th 2006 4:00PM
The penninsula suite is currently closed due to an incedent between some customers.
-The royal suite in lansburough's price has rose by $20.00 last week.

Candy Apr 12th 2006 4:15PM
Hey, I stayed at the Disney Resort for $ 125.00 a night, and felt like a movie star.
Life is great
Dawn Smith Apr 12th 2006 4:15PM
Hey Michael W~~~ How does one get reservations for a place that's been closed for a year over this summer???
VERY STRANGE!
Paul S Apr 12th 2006 4:16PM
Is the Plaza in NY closed for good or is it temporary
for renovations??
Maurice Covert Apr 12th 2006 4:38PM
I agree with the person who wrote that they ran this same article at least 4 times in the past. They do this alot with various different subjects. As several have stated, they do so without taking the time or effort to check the facts. AOL is becoming a embarrassment. Obviously they just throw old articles in to fill space. Little wonder their stock has fallen considerablly in recent years.

The plaza will open late 2006 and will operate as a hotel (150 rooms or so) a condominium hotel (another 100 rooms or so) and private condominiums (300+) and so is a true mixed use building.

I have stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Nigel, in California for less than 300/night for a a 3bdrm suite on the beach with a view and other amenities and felt like a QUEEN !
15000.00 seems like a lot of money to have a bed to go to sleep in.

The Carre d'Or Suite at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is amazing and ultra luxurious and costs $8400 a night. Why wasn't that included?
