New York's Plaza Hotel will close for at least four years from January 2027 for extensive repairs and restoration work.

The Plaza Hotel, located at 1 Central Park South in Midtown Manhattan, will close from January 2027 for at least four years to undergo extensive renovation work, the Daily Mail reports. Management announced the plans on Wednesday, stating that 'due to the complexity of this undertaking and significant intrusion to operations' the closure was necessary. The work will focus on repairing and restoring the building's façade, though no details about the renovation cost have been released.

The hotel operates 282 rooms alongside 181 private residences within the building. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, which operates the Plaza, said the project will require extensive planning and coordination with relevant stakeholders and compliance with historic preservation requirements. It remains unclear whether employees will be relocated during the shutdown or what arrangements will be made for residents. The Plaza last closed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when it remained shuttered for more than a year.
