Hilton Netherland Plaza
The public areas of the hotel are a series of complex cascading spaces that are richly decorated in the French Art Deco style. The former lobby now known as the Palm Court is the centerpiece of the hotel, and its Brazilian rosewood paneling and decorative metalwork create an elegant atmosphere that was once perceived as fancifal and modern.
Unique FeaturesThe main ballroom space, the Hall of Mirrors, is one of the most popular celebration spaces in the city. The two story ballroom has a balcony wrapping three sides of the space providing additional seating for the ballroom.
