Hundreds flocked to the Plaza Hotel for the landmark’s reopening after a three-year, $400-million renovation.

“They say this place is the world’s most famous hotel,” said doorman Freddy Davila, who worked for the hotel for 15 years until it closed in 2005. “It’s wonderful to be back,” he said as he welcomed visitors up the red-carpeted steps.

The Plaza, which overlooks Central Park, opened in 1907.
