Plaza Hotel to Close for Four-Year Facade Renovation (cntraveler.com)

The Plaza Hotel will close starting in 2027 for a four-year renovation of its marble facade, first designed by Henry Janeway Hardenbergh in 1907. The Landmarks Preservation Commission is overseeing the project, with ADP Architects and HLZAE handling the interior and masonry work, and the hotel is relocating its 378 staffers through the Hotel & Gaming Trades Council. The closure, which follows the last major renovation in 2008, has already forced at least one booked wedding to find a new venue.
