I think one reason I noticed it was that there were photos on the wall showing all the famous guests who’d stayed there. All dressed up. It made no sense to me that people who are going to take the time and trouble to stay in a glamourous place wouldn’t try to look their best.

This sounds like peer pressure from dead people and enforced reverence for fancy shit. I dress for my comfort, not conformance to some rich guy’s standard.

  If you’re such an independent thinker you wouldn’t want to stay at the Plaza. It’s much more expensive and exclusive than other accommodations in the same area.
  
  I’m talking about folks who paid to go there specifically because of the ‘dead people.’

    Right, I wouldn’t want to be there. If I am ever in any kind of place that expects me to look a certain way, I want to leave. Take me as I am in my solid color tank top and shorts or fuck off.

    My original post was that people at the expensive hotel weren’t dressing up.
    
    Apparently you either didn’t read it, or chose to ignore it.
    
    You can go to the hotel and spend the money, and dress any way you want.
    
    I see you are full of rage, but who you’re mad at is a mystery.

    Third of it are condos. Those that use it as a hotel more likely care about the location, not about rich old fucks of the past that used it before them.

    Have you ever looked at a map of Manhattan?
    
    It’s about 12 miles end to end and about 3 miles across.
    
    There are literally hundreds of hotels in walking distance of The Plaza. Many are less than half the price.
    
    No one goes to the Plaza because it’s closer to where they are going.

  It’s so famous it has it’s own Wiki page.

    Do you dress up to look at a medieval-castle-turned-museum?

    Have you ever tried to make an argument that didn’t include a strawman argument, or do you have trouble understanding the difference between a hotel and a museum?
