Eloise Inspires The Plaza Hotel

Fanciful Friday is here at last!


Books inspire so many people in so many ways: costumes, movies, amusement parks, and television shows.  If you are not familiar with the Eloise books, you should be.  The stories are darling.  Eloise is a six-year-old girl who lives in the "room on the tippy-top floor" of the New York landmark Plaza Hotel with her nanny, her puppy, and her turtle.  Eloise has inspired made for television movies and an animated series.  Recently, Betsey Johnson found inspiration in Kay Thompson's pint-size resident of the Plaza Hotel.  Obviously drawing from Hilary Knight's beautiful illustrations, Betsey Johnson took her first professional stab at interior designs.  From the picture featured in Elle Decor's article, she hit a home run!  A whimsical night in this fabulous suite at the Plaza Hotel starts at $995.00, but it is free to view Eloise's famous portrait in the hotel lobby!

Here is the picture from the Elle Decor website provided courtesy of the Plaza Hotel.
