Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has this week announced a year-long partnership with Mattel, Inc to coincide with Barbie’s upcoming 65th birthday. The hot pink-clad collaboration at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal will allow guests to experience a Barbie-approved stay at the downtown property.
“As two distinguished legends with more than 60 years of history each, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth and Barbie feels like a natural partnership, and we couldn’t be happier to announce this incredible collaboration,” Yigit Sezgin, Chief Brand & Commercial Officer at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts said in a press release.
The Barbie Dream Suite—as well as a variety of hotel packages and offerings—will take over the Queen Elizabeth starting this month with a “pink and playful” world of surprises. The suite is inspired by Barbie’s travel escapades and aims to whisk guests away into their own personal pink-hued dreamland for the night.
“We are excited to host official Barbie Dream Experiences at one of our renowned properties in Canada and welcome Barbie to a legendary list of illustrious guests that our hotels have hosted over the years. This partnership truly reflects the spirit of Beyond LIMITS: providing guests with immersive and unforgettable opportunities like no one else can.”
You don’t have to check into the hotel in order to experience la vie en rose. The collaboration will also extend to the property’s Nacarat bar where you’ll find Barbie-inspired cocktails. The Marche Artisans specialty market will feature a Barbie Sweet Shoppe, and you can also indulge in a Barbie-approved afternoon tea at Roselys Restaurant.
“We are ecstatic to be partnering with this best-in-class hotel to bring these two brands together for Barbie fans of all ages to truly enjoy,” added Julie Freeland, Senior Director of Location Based Entertainment at Mattel.
Bookings are now live, with stays beginning at the end of August. For more information (including how to book), visit the official Fairmont Beyond LIMITS website.
