The Plaza Hotel

The Plaza Hotel, one of New York's most legendary landmarks, appeared in several memorable Gossip Girl scenes. It is strongly implied that Chuck Bass lives at The Plaza in the early seasons — his father Bart Bass owns the hotel, making it a very fitting home for a billionaire's son. This iconic Beaux-Arts hotel at the southeastern corner of Central Park has been a symbol of wealth and elegance since 1907. In Gossip Girl, The Plaza served as a backdrop for lavish parties, charity galas, and dramatic confrontations among Manhattan's social elite.

Grand Army Plaza (5th Ave & Central Park South)

Grand Army Plaza, the elegant public square at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, served as a frequent filming location for Gossip Girl. The plaza features the Pulitzer Fountain — the exact spot where Blair and Serena steal Eleanor Waldorf's clothes and stage their own hilarious photo shoot, one of the show's most fun and lighthearted scenes. The gilded statue of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman guards the entrance to Central Park, and The Plaza Hotel rises dramatically behind the fountain. While the fountain itself is modest, its setting in front of The Plaza makes it one of the most photographed spots in Manhattan.
