The Plaza, 768 Fifth Avenue, 508/509, Central Park South

 

The "Astor Suite" at The Plaza Hotel is one of the most historic homes ever to become available in the United States. Located on the most coveted corner of the building - facing both Central Park and Fifth Avenue, this sprawling residence with 14-foot ceilings consists of a main residence with 4,284 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms and is coupled with an 800-square foot guest suite across the hall, including another bedroom, bath room, sitting room, and private terrace. Noted interior architect, S.R. Gambrel Inc. employed the artisans who rebuilt Windsor Castle to completely transform the home into an absolute masterpiece with numerous old world details such as hand drawn plaster ceilings; English oak paneling; and hand-hammered leather walls from France. Each room is filled with wonderful furnishings, antiques, and objects hand selected from across the globe from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries in addition to the latest in technology from a new HVAC system with a humidifier for artwork and a Savant system that allows the tenant to control the temperature, lights, music, and television - all from an I-pad. Always considered the best "suite" in the Plaza Hotel from the day it was built by Henry J. Hardenbergh, some former resident's of the home include John Jacob Astor; the Duke and Duchess of Windsor; and John F. Kennedy.
