Betsey Johnson Designs The Eloise Suite At The Plaza Hotel

Filed Under: Business Blitz Betsey Johnson

As we mentioned last year, designer Betsey Johnson teamed up with the Plaza Hotel in New York to create a suite based on the children's book series Eloise.

In the books, 6 year-old Eloise lives in a pink and black striped room on the top floor of the Plaza Hotel.

And by the looks of things, Johnson has been able to recreate the story. Betsey admits:

"I do kind of seem that am the perfect kid to do this. My reputation is of being pink and fun – I think they got my brand."

The room on the 18th floor features plenty of pink from the wall to the furniture. Adds Johnson about the room:

"It has a nice Plaza classiness. It's obviously what it should be. I read the books and was looking for a clue. Once I came here and saw what I had to work with. It's basically just fabric, paper and paint."

As for the pricing, one night in the Eloise room will cost you $995.

However, it does include some extra goodies like a monogrammed Eloise bathrobe, an Eloise camera, a framed photo of you in the suite, an Eloise book, and a $100 gift card to the Eloise shop.
