United Nations Description

The United Nations headquarters overlook the East River and occupy 18 acres. Considered neutral--and not American--territory, the UN contains the Peace Bell, a gift from Japan, that hangs on a cypress pagoda, the Rose Garden, a Russian bronze statue and Reclining Figure, a 1982 bronze statue by Henry Moore. Delegates from the UN's 51 nations confer in the horseshoe-shaped Security Council and the larger General Assembly.

United Nations Highlights

United Nations Plaza

The United Nations Plaza consists of two giant, sloping buildings of glass, offering a bird's-eye view of New York. The buildings contain the offices of the U.N. and a hotel for its delegates and guests.

United Nations Plaza Hotel

The United Nations Plaza Hotel is a minimalist structure, sheathed in glass and towering over the rest of the vast UN site.
