Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The children's book character Eloise lives in which New York City hotel?"
Eloise is a series of children's books written in the 1950s by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight. Eloise is the mischievous six-year-old girl who lives in the "room on the tippy-top floor" of the Plaza Hotel in New York City with her Nanny, her pug dog Weenie, and her turtle Skipperdee. Thompson's goddaughter, Liza Minnelli, has been cited as a possible model for Eloise, as has the author herself. In 1998, the Plaza was deemed a literary landmark for its role in the series. A portrait of Eloise has hung in the hotel’s Palm Court since 1957.
