Tommy Hilfiger puts his penthouse at The Plaza on the market (again)

Tommy Hilfiger tried to sell his New York penthouse for £55.6 million ($80 million, €70.6 million) in 2013 and having failed then has now relisted it.

The main sitting room is described as the great room

The formal dining room is currently used to display an array of black and white photographs

Offered by Marie-Claire Gladstone of Corcoran, the 5,655 square foot condominium – known as ‘The Dome Penthouse’ or more simply, ‘Apartment 1809’ – is situated on the 18^th and 19^th floors of The Plaza Hotel at One Central Park South. It has amongst other things a “great room”, a formal dining room with a “wet bar”, a “tea room with murals”, four bedrooms and a terrace overlooking Central Park and Fifth Avenue. Hotel amenities are provided in the form of maid service, valet parking and room service from the Todd English restaurant.

The apartment enjoys far reaching views across Central Park

Hilfiger is said to be selling as he no longer spends much time in New York according to The Washington Post and any aspiring Eloise will have to stump up the £47.9 million ($68.95 million, €60.9 million) listing price sought as well as £6,040 per month ($8,695 €7,673) for taxes and another £5,834 per month ($8,398, €7,415) for maintenance fees. A sale at this level will represent a great return as Mr Hilfiger and his wife, Dee Ocleppo, paid just £17.2 million ($25 million, €22 million) for the property in 2008.
