Plaza Hotel’s 2027 Closure Disrupts Luxury Weddings and Events
The Plaza Hotel will close for at least four years starting in January 2027 to restore its landmark facade, leaving many couples and event planners scrambling for alternative venues. The closure, announced by operator Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, affects 282 guest rooms, the Palm Court, and major ballrooms, though 180 luxury apartments will remain occupied. Brides who booked six-figure weddings, such as Christine Carney, face the challenge of replanning events and securing refunds, while the hotel has not provided detailed information on affected bookings. The restoration is expected to reopen the hotel by 2031, with some planners suggesting the closure may also address dated interiors.
