­Some people love The Plaza because it's home to the fountain where F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda once romped. Others love it for its old school glamour and gilt. But for many people, The Plaza will always be the place associated with Eloise. In honor of the hotel’s most famous fictional guest, the Plaza recently opened a 2,100 square foot Eloise shop. The pink boutique sells everything Eloise inspired- Eloise books, Eloise-inspired bathrobes and bath towels, and Eloise dolls. But it’s also more fun that just a regular store.

In the Fashion Room girls can try on costumes and model them on a podium, or watch their favorite Eloise movie clips in the Library Room, or even ask the Concierge for some tips. Fans can also visit the Tea Room for birthday parties and other celebrations, and there is also a Beauty Salon for the full Eloise experience. In Spring 2010, tea and birthday parties, beauty salon service and etiquette classes will be on offer.  And since everyone “absolutely looooves” Eloise, The Plaza will introduce an Eloise themed suite designed by Betsey Johnson (click here to read our interview with her..we love her) to debut 2010.
