The Plaza Celebrates Eloise’s 60th Anniversary

EloiseEloise_DSC1052This summer, the Plaza Hotel celebrates the 60th anniversary of one of their most famous and beloved guests’—Eloise–namesake books. All summer long, join the hotel in festivities honoring your favorite audacious character in children’s literature, and revisit the past six decades Eloise has been NYC’s most precocious little darling.

From visiting the Eloise Suite to competing in a Central Park scavenger hunt, you’re certain to have fun as you join Eloise on imaginative city adventures. Download and print a copy of an Eloise cutout and bring her on your worldwide travels, and until October 15 you can even post pictures of your Eloise with the hashtag #WhereIsEloise, and tag @ThePlazaHotel on Instagram and @ThePlazaEloise on Twitter for a chance to win a grand prize!

EloiseMake sure your photo is original and captivating and you can win a stay at the Eloise Suite, an Eloise birthday party—which is also available all year long—or a shopping spree at Eloise at The Plaza. To jump start your escapades, participate in Central Park’s scavenger hunt that will take you to find Skipperdee’s favorite pond to locating numerous characters, and discover other iconic locations along the way.

If you’re worn out from whimsical adventures with your adored 6-year-old friend, take a glamorous break and stay at the Eloise Suite at the Plaza. The Betsey Johnson-designed room is adorned, of course, in pink and black. The whole family will stay entertained with a Family Fun Package and a trip to the Palm Court, the Plaza’s delicious restaurant. Note special changes on the menu; this summer, an Eloise birthday cake and other tasty goodies will be offered at the eatery. If you’re not looking to spend the night at the hotel, then at least check out the Eloise at the Plaza Shop, which not only sells exclusive memorabilia from the books but also offers dance parties, cooking classes, and more!

Eloise Tea RoomTo make your Eloise-themed summer complete, visit the Tea Room and experience what Eloise’s favorite, fancy tea parties are really like. A small warning, though: after these fun summer festivities, Eloise’s knack for relentless adventure will be sure to rub off on your own little ones.
