The ceiling has a “canopy of glowing stars” along with “shimmering walls”, signifying the next phase in Planet Hollywood’s development. 

In this latest iteration, the brand’s traditional memorabilia has been replaced by an “all-encompassing” audio-visual experience with synchronised video projections, soundscapes and interactive elements. 

The third floor claims to offer an even more “immersive” experience with “dynamic” video screens embedded into the ceiling. 

The menu features a selection of appetisers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta and entrées.  

Dishes include Kobe Cheesesteak Empanadas and Spicy Rigatoni Vodka.  

The “1993 Icons” section of the menu pays tribute to original items such as the World-Famous Chicken Crunch and LA Lasagna. 

Planet Hollywood New York is open from 11am, serving until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
