Plaza commission the first hotel project for the celebrated designer
| Tweet |
The Plaza Hotel in New York has hired fashion designer Betsey Johnson to create an exclusive Eloise Suite. This first-ever hotel collaboration for Johnson is inspired by the energetic and precocious six-year old Eloise character, who "moved into" The Plaza in 1955 with pet pug Weenie, turtle Skipperdee and her "mostly companion," Nanny.
“We are thrilled to partner with one of the most creative and innovative designers in the fashion industry today and believe that Betsey is the ideal talent to bring the Eloise aesthetic to life,” says Shane Krige, general manager. "A true visionary in style and design, Betsey brings an exceptionally distinct point of view to The Plaza Hotel and to Eloise, who has conquered the hearts and imaginations of generations of children and adults.”
The Plaza's two-bedroom Eloise Suite will be whimsically decorated in a color palette of "Eloise pink" and black, and will be full of surprises and distinct "Eloise moments" throughout the guest room. The layout will include one room for parents and a separate Eloise bedroom.
"I'm tickled pink to be designing the Eloise Suite at the Plaza,” said Johnson. “When I recently moved uptown and my first granddaughter was born, I rediscovered Eloise and hoped that something magical would happen between me and my favorite hotel. This is the perfect pink combo!”
A timetable for the suite's opening has not been announced.
