The Plaza Hotel, New York   

Kay Thompson’s Eloise: A Book for Precocious Grown Ups and its mischievous young heroine has been delighting readers since its publication in 1955.

In 2010, the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York had the novel idea of opening an eye-catching Eloise suite, which was fitting, because in the book, the character lives on the top floor of the hotel.

It features outrageous and fun décor in shades of pink and black by celebrated fashion designer Betsey Johnson. 

The bed has a sparkly pink headboard and there’s a large neon sign reading ‘Eloise’ above it. 

The chairs and lampshades feature floral pink fabric, while the bathroom is completely pink too. To contrast with the palette of pinks, a zebra-print carpet runs throughout. 

The sugar pink suite costs from $2,045 a night, with the rate including an Eloise-themed afternoon tea, a $100 gift card to the Eloise shop, an Eloise Book and more.

In total, the converted bank offers 181 jewel-box rooms and suites, decked out with bold interiors. All of the rooms feature mini bars secreted in safety-deposit boxes as a playful nod to the building’s history.

The top tier rooms come in the form of the First Lady Suites, which were ‘inspired by the eccentricities of four former First Ladies.’

The hotel states that each of the four suites has ‘a unique personality of its own, offering guests access to features including a freestanding soaking tub and separate living rooms providing plenty of space to relax.’

Each suite follows a different color scheme with the ‘Ida McKinley’ dressed in pink. 

The room – which starts from $899 a night – was apparently inspired by the wife of William McKinley, the 25th President of the U.S. and the pinks and purples on show reflect her ‘deep love of flowers and plants.’

A floral design adorns the wall behind the four poster bed, while the living room features pink velvet upholstery and pink walls and curtains top things off. In this room, the safety deposit box also comes in – you guessed it – pink. 

Madonna Inn, California 

The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California, first opened its doors in 1958 and it has 110 themed rooms with wacky and wonderful decor.

Thanks to its novel interior design the family-run motel, which sits on a 1,000 acre ranch, quickly became a much-talked about landmark. 

Many tourists stop by to take photos in the hotel lobby and use the over-the-top styled bathrooms. The pink and gold ‘Alex Madonna’s Gold Rush Steak House’ makes for another popular pitstop. 

If you’re looking to get into the Barbie swing of things, the property’s Madonna Suite – or room 141 – should fit the bill. 

This over-the-top room features a bold rose-patterned carpet, hot pink walls and ceilings and Barbie pink upholstery. Antique-style furnishings top off the theatrical look.

The Watergate Hotel, Washington DC 

The Watergate Hotel is the best-known part of the Watergate complex in Washington DC’s Foggy Bottom neighborhood.

It first opened in 1967, welcoming high-end guests such as Elizabeth Taylor, then-Representative Bob Dole and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Five burglars were caught breaking into the Democratic National Committee’s offices on June 17, 1972. They had checked into rooms 214 and 314 of the Watergate Hotel, using aliases.

Among them was a security coordinator for the Republican National Committee and the Committee for the Re-election of the President, James W McCord Jr. Then-President Richard Nixon resigned two years later in August 1974. Following the incident, the hotel was bought and sold several times, and underwent various iterations.

Then on June 1, 2016 it reopened its doors as an upscale hotel and once again welcomed guests. For sweeping views along with some subtle pink hues, check into the hotel’s two-room Rose Suite on the 14th floor.
