Council voted without debate to uphold Landmarks’ designation of the interiors of the Plaza Hotel. On October 27, 2005, the full Council voted to support the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation of eight interior rooms of the Plaza hotel as individual landmarks with very little debate. Landmarks had moved quickly to designate the Plaza’s interiors in April 2005 after Elad Properties, the Plaza’s current owners, filed a change of use application to alter some of the hotel’s historic banquet rooms to retail space. 2 CityLand41 (Apr. 15,2005); 2 CityLand 91 (July 15, 2005). With the Council’s approval, future alterations of these interior rooms will require Landmarks prior approval.
