The glamorous camping is a growing global phenomenon that combines the experience of camping with luxury and the conditions of the best hotels,” said Vinod Agarwal, general manager, Hilton Cartagena. “Barbie® loves to travel, enjoy nature and take care of the environment without forget the comforts and attractions of the most sophisticated accommodations."

Barbie® will be present in every detail. Upon entering, guests can take amazing pictures in the iconic doll box, climb small pink stairs to check-in and discover the exclusive pink menu in the hotel restaurant. In addition, on the occasion of its 60th anniversary, she will share with visitors a little of her history through images and pieces of collection.

The room, which will be available until March 2020, took approximately 20 weeks from its conceptualization, design and production. "The presence of Barbie® can be felt in every corner. The elements of decoration, bedding, toys, dolls and activities are intended to continue inspiring girls to be what they want to be and to fulfill their greatest desires," shared Vinod Agarwal during the opening event.

Both the guests of the room and the girls who visit the hotel can enjoy spaces with unbeatable touches of Barbie®, they will have the opportunity to enjoy incredible thematic experiences in the different seasons of the year and explore the multiple services offered by the hotel. When registering the lodging to the Glamping Room of Barbie®, the girls will receive a special welcome kit.
