Find out how much Kevin McCallister, the character played by Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone 2”, would spend today on his luxury stay at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
At this time of year, many people enjoy watching classic Christmas movies, and the “Home Alone” franchise is without a doubt one of the most beloved by audiences.
In “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” from 1992, Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin, gets separated from his family at the airport and accidentally boards a flight to New York while his family heads to Florida.
The boy then finds a way to stay at the legendary Plaza Hotel and receives luxurious treatment, including a beautiful suite and plenty of delicious food — among them, the famous sundae with sixteen scoops of ice cream.
At the end of the movie, Peter McCallister, the father of Macaulay Culkin’s character, is shocked to discover a bill of just over 2,000 dollars; but how much would the hotel bill be today, more than 30 years later?
According to an analysis by the travel insurance comparison service iSelect, 33 years after the film’s release — with a 303% increase in luxury hotel price inflation — Kevin’s trip, from suite to sundae, would cost 8,511 dollars in 2025.
According to a report from the New York Post, the highest expense would be the Plaza suite itself, with an average price of 6,244 dollars per night, though there are others that cost up to 33,000 dollars.
And today, anyone who wants to try the famous ice cream dessert can order the “Sundae Home Alone,” created in honor of the film, for 350 dollars.
