New York's Plaza, a Jazz Age landmark, reveals itself after $400m Fairmont revamp

As far as cups of tea are concerned, it is hardly a bargain. A pot of Earl Grey in the morning at the Plaza hotel's marble-clad Palm Court restaurant will set you back $12 (£5.96) - and that doesn't include any chocolate digestives.
The century-old New York landmark on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South reopened its doors this month after a three-year renovation costing more than $400m. Split into luxurious private residences and a five-star $1,000-a-night hotel, it is staggeringly decadent.
