The Perry Diaries
Magic, Moments, and the Heart of Our Hotel Home
There is a certain kind of magic that lives inside The Perry Hotel Naples, the kind you don't find in most places. It's in the way the sunlight hits the water every morning, the way guests arrive with hope and excitement in their eyes, and the way our boutique has become a home for women seeking beauty, confidence, and something special for themselves.
Every day, incredible stories unfold here. Some are glamorous, some are tender, and some are the kind that stay in your heart forever.
Welcome to The Perry Diaries.
A Boutique That Lives Inside a Dream.
Being nestled inside the hotel means we don't just welcome shoppers... We welcome travelers, adventurers, families, couples celebrating anniversaries, women escaping the cold, and Florida locals who stop by "just to see what's new" and walk out transformed.
And here at Elsie in Naples, we have become well known for something special: styling women beautifully and quickly, ready for life's most meaningful moments.
Whether it's a powerful meeting, a glamorous dinner party, a romantic date, a beach wedding, or a last-minute trip to Europe where they need a curated wardrobe, we adore it.
We enjoy this part of our work so much.
There is nothing more rewarding than watching a woman light up, stand taller, and say "This feels like me."
Making women feel beautiful, confident, and truly seen is at the heart of everything we do.
A Taste of Perry Hospitality
One of the joys of being inside this beautiful hotel is the little touches we can offer our clients.
We love serving the Perry's famous lavender coffee, guiding guests toward their delicious break at the Coffee Shop, and even treating clients to a moment at the Tigress rooftop bar, where the views are as fabulous as the fashion.
These touches make the experience unforgettable.
It's not just shopping, it's a warm, luxurious, Naples-style escape.
A Month of Gratitude
In the month of November where being thankful fills the area, I cannot express how deeply grateful I am for our beautiful Perry Hotel family.
Each employee, each staff member, the owners, the management, every single person is so special to us.
Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for this hotel create the energy that makes our boutique shine.
We are honored to be part of this incredible family, and we feel their support every single day.
Hotel Energy: A Symphony of Life
This season at The Perry has been filled with energy, laughter, and sparkle:
- Families checking in for the holidays and stopping by for gifts.
- Guests taking photos with our Christmas mannequins, one dressed in purple butterflies in hone of The Shelter of Abused Women and Children, a symbol of hope and beauty.
- Ladies falling in love with our new peach-fuzz jackets, and pop art coats asking, "Where did you find this treasure?"
There is a rhythm to this hotel...
A heartbeat
And we feel it everyday.
A Moment of Heart
One guest shared that her mother recently passed. She told me that stepping into the hotel and our boutique, seeing the lights, the holiday decor, and the love in the air, made her feel the spirit of Christmas again.
She said "Thank you for giving me hope today."
Moments like this remind me why Elsie in Naples exists.
Fashion is our medium, but heart is our purpose.
A Season of Glamour Ahead
With the holiday's here, we're preparing:
Glimmering dresses
Glimmering dresses
Cozy jackets
Gifts wrapped with love and The Perry Hot Chocolate

And, of course, exciting updates for our events coming up, including our March Beyond the Runway III fashion show
The Perry is buzzing, glowing, and ready for a magical season, and we couldn't be more grateful.
