Plaza Hotel

Plaza was the name of a hotel on Fifth Avenue, in New York City. This hotel was where the wealthy traveler, on a visit to the city, would book a room in the early 20th century. A typical room might have a bedroom and a reception room. This hotel was equipped with the latest in technology, including telephones.

In The Big Good-Bye, the master criminal Silent Forrester booked a room on the twelfth floor. This room's telephone was bugged by the police who took up residence in a room on the eleventh floor. Detective Jim Tierney and his squad recorded what was transmitted on the telephone wires. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")

The pages seen in the episode were from the detective novel, The Listening Man, by author John A. Moroso. This novel was published in 1924.
