I don't quite remember my first Barbie, but what I do remember is that I went through a lot of them as a kid. And I mean a lot. Mainly because I was hellbent on giving them the perfect layered haircut, and as a result, they all turned into "Weird Barbies."

But despite all the bad haircuts, Barbie will forever be a bright spot in my childhood, a time when I had no worries and life was seemingly perfect. Now, as an adult, I was able to once again experience the magic of Barbie when I recently visited the Barbie Dream Suite at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal, Canada.

Almost immediately after stepping foot inside the Barbie Dream Suite, I was transported back to when my cousin and I would sit in the middle of my grandmother's living room playing Barbies. Only now I was the Barbie in Barbie Land.

The Barbie Dream Suite is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. From the pink-hued utensils in the kitchenette to the vintage Barbies displayed in the dining room and the old-school Barbie Fashion Doll Case displayed on the countertop, every detail is a treat thoughtfully curated by Fairmont and Mattel. Walking through the suite felt like taking a nostalgic walk down memory lane — there is truly something for everyone to marvel over.

The suite is part of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts's Beyond Limits experiences, a series of adventures exclusively designed for Fairmont properties around the world. Through Beyond Limits, guests can enjoy a variety of experiences in the official Barbie suite, from an Instagram-worthy tea party to a fun-filled pajama soirée. I, for one, highly recommend the latter.

Additionally, guests can get a taste of what it's like to live like Barbie (or Ken) by sipping on Barbie-inspired cocktails at Fairmont's Nacarat bar and grabbing some desserts at the Barbie Sweets Shoppe at Marché Artisans. Afternoon tea is also available at the hotel's Rosélys Restaurant every Saturday.

The Barbie Dream Suite is available now exclusively at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth in Montreal until Monday, Sept. 30, 2024, starting at CAD $1,499 per night for up to four guests.

Get ready to step inside the fabulous world of Barbie and learn more about the Dream Suite ahead.

Barbie Dream Suite

Located inside Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth's 1,200-square-foot St-Henri Suite, the Barbie Dream Suite sits high on the 17th floor and offers a one-of-a-kind view of Montreal's Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral and its surrounding sites. It features two bedrooms with king-size beds, a living room, a dining room, a kitchenette, two full bathrooms, and a powder room. With varying hues of pink all throughout, the suite's luxurious interiors are an ode to Barbie's love of travel, style, and adventure.

Barbie Dream Tea

You can immerse yourself even further in Barbie's dream world by selecting from a variety of experiences, including a Barbie-themed tea party. The Barbie Dream Tea includes overnight accommodations for up to four people, Rosé Champagne/craft mocktails, and a delicious assortment of sweet and savory treats.

However, if you're only interested in the tea experience, Barbie Afternoon Tea is also available on Saturdays at Rosélys Restaurant inside Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth. You can book your reservation here. Pinkies up!

Barbie Spectacular PJ Soirée

If you really want to live out your Barbie dreams, the Barbie Spectacular PJ Soirée is definitely a must! Come dressed in your most glamorous (and pink) pajamas and get ready to stay up all night making memories, whether you're celebrating something special or just want a night in with friends. The pajama party experience includes overnight accommodations for up to four people, Barbie bites and cocktails/mocktails for up to 10 people, and Barbie robes and slippers for up to 10 people.

Oh, and don't forget to turn on the disco ball in the dining room and dance the night away!
