In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, which New York hotel does Kevin McCallister stay in?

In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Kevin McCallister stays at The Plaza Hotel. After boarding the wrong flight, Kevin arrives in New York City and uses his father's credit card to check into the luxurious hotel near Central Park.

The Plaza becomes a major comic setting in the 1992 sequel. Kevin orders room service, watches television, and uses hotel facilities while hotel staff try to understand how a child is occupying a suite alone. The movie also features a cameo by Donald Trump, who was the owner of The Plaza at the time, giving Kevin directions in the lobby.

The hotel is a real landmark at Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, not a fictional location created for the film. Home Alone 2 was directed by Chris Columbus and written by John Hughes. It reunites Macaulay Culkin's Kevin with the burglars Harry and Marv, now calling themselves the Sticky Bandits. The New York setting distinguishes the sequel from the first film's suburban Chicago-area house.
