abstract:Eloise at the Plaza is a live-action film based on the Eloise series of children's books drawn and written by Kay Thompson and Hilary Knight. It stars young Sofia Vassilieva as Eloise, an irrepressible six-year-old girl who lives in the penthouse at the top of the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
But the penthouse was something of a detour in the conversion of much of the hotel by El-Ad Properties into 181 condominiums, a conversion during which El-Ad frequently evoked Eloise, the girl who lived attheplaza in books and film, to market its development.
