The suite is perfect for a fun getaway, glamourous vacation, or immersion into the world of the beloved doll.

"Our design for this suite is inspired by the fans who grew up with the iconic Barbie doll. From the moment they arrive at the hotel, we want them to feel transported into a Barbie utopia. In this suite, every corner is tailored to create a sense of childhood nostalgia," says John Freudenthaler, general manager, Hilton Bogota Corferias. “We would like to thank our partners at Mattel for helping us bring this Barbie dream world to life; this innovative offering for our guests will surely create new memories for years to come.”

Located on the hotel’s 13th floor and offering an impressive view of the city, including the striking Eastern Hills and beautiful skylines of Northern Bogota, the 1990’s inspired, and thoughtfully designed suite transports guests to the Barbie world from the moment they enter the door. The 552 square foot one-bedroom suite for four guests features inspiring and empowering Barbie mantras throughout, including “Together We Shine” and “Strong Girls Make Waves”.

Shades of pink adorn the wall accompanied by patterned graphics, Barbie and her friends and contemporary artwork of the legendary doll. The king bed features a coloured headboard with pink and white furnishings atop a faux fur white rug. Guests can unwind on the pull-out couch featuring Barbie throw pillows or prepare for a night of glam and style at the light and bright dressing suite-inspired vanity featuring an amenities kit, including a Barbie doll, tutu and pink glasses.
