  2. My Daughter would be thrilled to stay in the Eloise Suite. It would be so much fun to stay in a theme room.The Pineapple room would be a family favorite as well.

  3. i love a hotel with a difference and these are amazing – I would love to visit them all as I bet the experience would be amazing.

  4. Wow! Each of these suites would easily make any trip extra memorable. I think the Snow White House is right up our alley, especially since it happens to be in Italy.
