The ageless romantic, Palm Court, from the famous Plaza Hotel, is the place where the swing of the “Crazy Years” always finds its rhythm, where Jay Gatsby’s impeccable, poplin shirts belong in here and where you seem to always hear the swish of Daisy Buchanan’s silk dresses. Over the past 100 years, Plaza hosted unforgettable, flamboyant characters, from Truman Capote, Jackie Kennedy Onassis to the excessive Beatles, becoming an international landmark of splendor, extravagance and luxury. Palm Court was the setting for some famous novel and movie scenes, the most popular being “The Great Gatsby”, a perfect story for a place with such brilliant and effervescent details.

How would it be possible for you not to be burning with curiosity, that of knowing the heart and soul of the Plaza, at an “afternoon tea”, all the more as it is a traditional custom in this cultural oasis?

The décor is of an exquisite luxury, a space bordered by doors with mirrors, marble columns, plush sofas in fine, blue and golden shades, grand crystal chandeliers , palm-trees in stone pots, exceptional flower arrangements, soft carpets which re-create the ambience of this place which became a legend.

If you get there, I recommend that you shouldn’t miss the Grand Chef’s menu, created by Michel Lockard which offers minisandwiches and delicious sweets, inspired by the jazz era’s cuisine – “Jazz Age Chocolate Bon Bon”, “Warm Fitzgerald Tea”, ”New York Cheesecake”, ”Lemon Tea Cake”, ”Black and White Cookies”, ”Chocolate Cupcake.”

Nothing is “too much” at Palm Court…
