Eloise is Back, Back, Back at The Plaza Hotel

Guests of The Plaza Hotel Are Invited to Live Like Eloise with New Hotel Packages

NEW YORK, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Plaza Hotel has created two new rawther wonderful packages to celebrate me, ELOISE." This summer, The Plaza welcomes back its most famous and mischievous guest, Kay Thompson's fictional character, Eloise, with two special offers: the 'Live Like Eloise' and 'Live Like Eloise Slumber Party' packages. And since everyone "absolutely looooves" Eloise, later this year The Plaza will also introduce an Eloise interactive store and themed suite. "Thank you very much."

The energetic and precocious six-year old originally "moved into" The Plaza in 1955 with pet pug Weenie, turtle Skipperdee and her "mostly companion," Nanny, when the first edition of Eloise was published by Simon & Schuster. Since that time, Eloise has "skibbled" her way into the hearts and imagination of children and adults for more than 50 years. Today, Eloise still watches over The Plaza from her portrait which is prominently displayed in the legendary hotel near the new Fifth Avenue entrance.

Guests are invited to live like Eloise, if only for a night, with the following packages:
