Eloise and The Plaza Hotel. She's back!


The Plaza Hotel, New York City

On December 1st 2009, Eloise "officially" returned to her old haunt in NY - The Plaza Hotel. Who can forget Eloise, who moved into the Plaza in 1955 with her pet pug Weenie, turtle skipperdee and her nanny.

The "Eloise Shop" opened on the hotel's concourse level to much fanfare. The shop is 2,100 square feet in size and has it's own concierge that the young and fashionable can access as Eloise did.

There is a Fashion Room where guests can dress up in costumes and pretend they are the fashionable Eloise. There is even a podium they can "model" from. In the Library Room, the young guests can enjoy "park views" and watch their favorite Eloise movie clips, play on the computer stations or enjoy story time with their mostly companion.

And the favourite? It would have to be the Tea Room where family and friends can come together for tea and birthday parties and other celebrations.

A visit to the Beauty Salon rounds out a day of living like Eloise. In Spring 2010, tea and birthday parties, beauty salon service and etiquette classes will be available too.
And of course there is shopping. The store offers a wide variety of Madame Alexander dolls, Eloise books, Eloise-inspired bathrobes ($95 US) and bath towels, and exclusive product lines including the Eloise in Paris doll. Eloise signature bed linen is $200 US, a charm bracelet is $85 and a do not disturb sign is $5.

The shop includes a mailbox where little ones can drop letters for The Plaza mascot. They'll get back notes signed "Eloise" — on pink stationery, of course.
The Plaza has also started an Eloise fan club and has overnight hotel packages called "'Live Like Eloise" and "Live Like Eloise Slumber Party". Best of all? Well if money is no option your little one can stay in the new Betsey Johnson Eloise themed suite! Ooh La La!
