The Royal Wedding: Watching from the Plaza Hotel

Every now and then, there’s an event that becomes a touchstone. Some people still remember getting up early to watch the wedding of Diana Spencer and Prince Charles.

Kate and William’s wedding will be that for a new generation of people–where were you?

The Weddings edit team will remember that we were here:

In the regal Plaza Hotel, an appropriate place to watch the coverage. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the hotel felt as iconic and grand–and as luxurious and welcoming–as Buckingham Palace.

What a great place to have a wedding gathering! Try the Grand Ballroom or the Terrace Room, for the reception or even the ceremony; gather your groomsmen in the Oak Bar for  thank-you cocktails; treat your moms to luncheon at the Rose Club or Palm Court; and pamper your ladies at the Caualie Vinotherpaie Spa.

At the very least, consider treating yourselves like a duke and his duchess, and spend your honeymoon night in the Royal Plaza Suite.

Here’s a peek of where spent the morning–send us any pics you’ve got of your Wedding Watching Party.

Here we are--watching one of the many televisions in the suite. (We split up to see the difference in the coverage--Darcy watched from the den, and I watched in the exercise room!)
