Is there any historical/architectural connection whatsoever between Hotel New Nederland (demolished 1927) and the Plaza Hotel, in NYC? I'm uneducated on the topic, and this is just a personal observation, but I think there is a visual resemblance between the two.

It's the same architectural style called "chateauesque" that imitates French renaissance architecture, popular in the late 19th century. Here's a building in Winnipeg and here's one in Quebec.
