The Plaza Hotel, New York City

The Eloise Suite: Little girls longing to live in Eloise’s world can find her themed suite at New York City’s famed Plaza Hotel. Eloise, the fictional heroine of the books by Kay Thompson, lives at the Plaza, getting into mischief and meeting dignitaries. Designed by Betsey Johnson, the suite, which opened in 2010, features a plethora of pink stripes, chintz child-sized armchairs, feather boas to try on as well as Eloise books and a doll. The suite is available year-round for overnights and tea parties.

Hotels with Bunk Beds
Bunk beds were fun as kids – whether sleeping over a friend’s house, dreaming at summer camp, or cramming the extended family into the lakeside vacation rental. Now bunk beds are back in hotels.

Families like them because the bunks are fun and offer more beds than a typical double-bedded room can often fit. Millennials like the bunk-bedded accommodations because they’re cost-effective for group trips – think destination bridal showers and shopping trips.

At the Kimpton Monaco Baltimore Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland each of the 14 bunk-bedded rooms features two double beds plus a separate room with two bunk beds.

Great Wolf Lodges has known about the power of bunk beds since the chain that marries an indoor waterpark with rooms started. Choose from themed suites that include a semi-walled area with bunk beds, providing kids with fun and parents and grandparents with privacy.
