Pickup
Where Does a Chauffeur Pick Up at The Plaza?
The Plaza’s primary hotel entrance and porte-cochère are on Fifth Avenue at 768 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10019.
The hotel’s published guest information identifies bellmen at the Fifth Avenue porte-cochère and in the Fifth Avenue hotel lobby.
Guests arranging a private chauffeur should use the main Fifth Avenue hotel arrival point and their agreed pickup instructions.

The Plaza is located beside Grand Army Plaza, near the southeast corner of Central Park.
