New York, United States
Now more than 70% leased, The Plaza Retail Collection offers a select group of top tier international retailers the chance to be part of an elite collection of the world's most coveted brands, exceptional boutiques and celebrated restaurants at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park - the crossroads of luxury. With retailers from around the world vying for the final spots in the 160,000-square-foot retail space, this rare opportunity remains available for only a few.
"The Plaza Retail Collection has attracted an eclectic group of international luxury retailers reflecting the quality, personal service, craftsmanship and elegance embodied by The Plaza," said Anthony Nicola, general manager of retail for the Collection.
The Collection's remarkable roster of extraordinary retailers includes hand-crafted mobile phone maker Vertu, home goods and gifts designer Jay Strongwater, fine leather luggage and handbag designer Ghurka, bespoke clothier Seize sur Vingt, fine book publisher Assouline's boutique and reading room, world-renowned Caudalie's first company-owned U.S. spa, hairstylists to the stars Warren Tricomi's salon, and famed Austrian confectioner Demel and others.
Visitors, shoppers and guests from around the region and around the world will experience the best of the past blended with the best of the new. The great defining landmark spaces, from the grand Fifth Avenue entryway to the Edwardian Room, Terrace Room, Palm Court, and the Oak Bar and Oak Room will all be restored to their former glory. The complementary, dazzling multi-level Plaza Retail Collection will present its own surprises and delights, a pageant of open counters, floral accents, sparkling jewels, high fashion elegance and a spectacular and inviting food court suffused with the aromas of fresh gourmet offerings and imported treats.
Guests can enter the Plaza Retail Collection from the main Fifth Avenue entry, from the hotel lobby, from 58th Street and from Central Park South via an escalator descending into a vast koi pond. The Collection will draw from a wide-ranging sophisticated market, including hotel guests, private residents, diners and tourists attracted to destination restaurants in landmark settings as well as the curious and discriminating from near and far anxious to sample all the Plaza has to offer.
The Plaza Retail Collection is scheduled to open the first quarter of 2008. For more information call 212-588-8011.
