The Rose Club NYC is part of the Plaza Hotel New York, the first hotel in NYC that was made a historical landmark.  Overlooking The Plaza Hotel NYC lobby, the Rose offers an ideal vantage point for sipping fine spirits and people-watching amongst Uptown's elite crowd.

Back when the Rose Bar NYC was called the Parisian Room, the venue played host to the likes of Duke Ellington and Bob Hope. Today, the Plaza Club Rose is where Manhattan's elite gather, and is one of the most famous NYC lounges in all of Manhattan. Ordering off the drink and food menu at the Rose Club NYC will definitely set you back a few bucks, but you will be drinking and dining in the company of an almost unparalleled history.

Overlooking Fifth Avenue and the Pulitzer Fountain, the Champagne Bar New York is reminiscent of the Champagne Porch that was in the same location when the hotel opened in 1907. The Champagne Bar once welcomed legendary figures like the Prince of Wales and writer Truman Capote, who once had a party that was widely considered the "Party of the Century" in new York.

While it still retains its old world charm, the NYC Champagne Bar has become a favorite destination of today’s social elite. The Plaza Hotel Champagne Bar knows just how glamourous you want to feel as you sip some of the world's best champagne from delicate champagne flutes.  Prefer to order a Christain Lacroix bottle of designer Evian water from France?  No problem.  You'll look good drinking anything at the Champagne Bar, considered one of the most upscale and luxurious bars in NYC.  By night, celebrate with the world’s finest champagne, caviar and wines.  By day, indulge in freshly baked pastries, light gourmet fare, and specialty coffees. Anything is possible at the Plaza Hotel Champagne Bar.
