Six-year-old Eloise is a precocious little girl who lives on the top floor of New York City's Plaza Hotel. There, she spends many hours with her nanny, but she refuses to be bored. When she's not in her room braiding her pet turtle's ears or feeding her dog bones ordered from room service, she can be found wandering around the hotel and getting into all kinds of marvelous mischief.
