The Plaza Hotel
One of the world's most famous hotels, The Plaza opened its doors in 1907. F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda once splashed in its fountain during the height of the roaring twenties and more recently Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones held their wedding reception there. Now, in 2005, the Plaza is being renovated as many of its hotel rooms are being transformed into Condos.
