Plaza Hotel Turns New York Stay Into a Home Alone Adventure

The Plaza Hotel in New York City is offering a Home Alone‑in‑New‑York package that lets guests live out the 1990s film’s iconic scenes.

The Package

The Plaza’s “Home Alone: Fun in New York” package can be added to any guestroom or suite year‑round. The starting price is around $2,000 plus tax, while the Royal Suite itself can cost more than $40,000 per night.

The Experience

Guests can request a 4,500‑square‑foot Royal Suite that includes three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a grand piano, a dining room that seats 12, a full chef’s kitchen, a library and a gym. The primary bedroom has an extra‑large bed, a fireplace, picture windows overlooking Fifth Avenue, and a dressing area with leather and wood‑paneled closets.

The suite’s primary bathroom features 24‑carat gold‑plated fixtures, a heated floor, a private water closet and an antique tub filled with champagne bottles.

The Limo & Pizza

A stretch limousine waits outside the lobby, the same spot where Kevin was picked up in the film. Inside, eight slices of cheese pizza are served, and guests can enjoy a can of Coca‑Cola poured into a champagne glass. The limo drives around New York for four hours, stopping at Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center.

The Sundae

In the suite, a 16‑scoop sundae is delivered on a cart. The sundae costs $350 and is topped with whipped cream, M&M’s, rainbow sprinkles, brownie bits, maraschino cherries, and sauces for drizzling. The narrator orders three scoops, saying, “Two? Make it three, I’m not driving.”

Make‑A‑Wish Partnership

The Plaza partners with the Make‑A‑Wish Foundation to let wish children experience the package during the holiday season. Daniel Brigano, the hotel’s guest experience director, and Benjamin Beraha, the food and beverage manager, dressed as Harry and Marv to reenact scenes for a child who wished to be chased through the hotel.
