The Plaza: The Secret Life of America’s Most Famous Hotel

byJulie Satow

The Plaza is Julie Satow's historical account of the Secret Life of America’s Most Famous Hotel. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of architecture and business & economics. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Together, these elements make The Plaza an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
