The Plaza Athenee is great if price is no object. Sticker shock is due otherwise. The place has charm and class. The rooms are well appointed and elegant. Good climate control and superb amenities. There is a "fancy fabric overload". I was there on business but the place is more suited for (affluent) middle age couples taking the sights of the City in the Fall or Spring. The location is excellent. It is close but not too close to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, near Central Park and the museums, Bloomingdales and great dining. The lobby is a bid stuffy, but since it is a small hotel you really do not feel crammed. The restaurant is good but pricey. The staff is very attentive and service is impeccable in the old world style. The only complimentary items are the apples in the reception desk and internet in the lobby. It is a great choice in NYC if you can afford it.
