Oak Room, Oak Bar finally reopen at The Plaza hotel

Since the storied Plaza reopened its doors in March after a controversial 3-year renovation that made the legendary hotel part condo, its luxury services have been opening its doors one by one.

The Palm Court and Champagne Bar opened in mid-March, posh shops have been opening including Vertu (which makes diamond-encrusted cell phones,) the Caudalie Spa opened at The Plaza in October.

And now its the Oak Bar and Oak Room’s turn.

A hotel official told NewYorkology that both venues opened for business last week.

Fox even has a report that the bar’s already hosted the celebrity-filled after-party for an early screening of Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman upcoming turns in stage to-screen flick “Doubt.”

See Zagat.com for pictures inside the renovated Oak Room and the full menu at Eater.
