Plaza Hotel

Built in 1930 on the site of the historic Sheldon Hotel (unofficial headquarters for Mexican Revolution partisans), the 19-story Art Deco brick/concrete tower with a copper pyramid roof was the first Hilton high-rise hotel. This architectural gem once housed the future Miss White Diamonds herself, Liz Taylor, who lived in the penthouse during her brief 1950-51 marriage to Hilton heir Nicky. Renamed the Plaza in 1963, the hotel closed in 1991, but reportedly will undergo renovation.
