Barbie Dream Suite
The hotel’s well-appointed 1,200 square-foot St-Henri Suite - featuring an impressive view of the Mary Queen of the World Cathedral and surrounds - is currently being transformed into a luxurious and whimsical space that will appeal to all those that think pink. The suite’s interiors will play upon Barbie’s love of travel and spirit of adventure while embracing her vibrant and impeccable style. As guests approach the suite on the 17th floor, they will know they have arrived once they encounter the distinctive Barbie Dreamhouse™ Pink hued doors that open to an imaginative and chic retreat like no other.
A fashionable space with two spacious bedrooms with king size beds, a kitchenette and dining room, two bathrooms, adjoining powder room, and Fairmont Gold amenities, this suite invites guests - from small tots to those young at heart - from around the world to live their best suite dream. For now, our pink lips are sealed as the suite undergoes its makeover, with final interior details scheduled to be unveiled on August 24, when the first guests arrive to live the glamorous life à la Barbie, or Ken, for themselves.
