New York’s Plaza Hotel has a long history of difficult guests. Long before Charlie Sheen brought a voluptuous 22-year-old-porn star back to the hotel, and trashed his suite in a naked cocaine-fueled rampage, the Plaza staff was battling an equally spirited guest: 6-year-old Eloise, the protagonist in Kay Thompson’s 1955 children’s book who lived in the Plaza with her Nanny, pet turtle, and her dog, Weenie.
