The Plaza Hotel
About This Location
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.
