Check out this link about a Nickelodeon Hotel.
Pretty ingenious idea. Think about it: A kid wants to go to Disney land/world. What do they want to see in their hotel? No, not fancy garbage cans and an array full of gigantic plants like most hotels. Ok, wrong company, we’re talking about Nickelodeon here. But the point is, kids want to be absorbed in their own worlds, as often as possible; they want to see Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron and everyone else that they watch on TV. The idea is to get kids feeling like they’re a part of something that they had imagined from the get-go. This is why I feel that having a hotel centered around kids is an over-due concept.
In retrospect, if I could have visited a hotel filled with twisting water-slides and visuals of my favorite cartoon characters surrounding me, I would have been elated. It would have been amazing, back in the 80’s, to be immersed in interactivity such as that planned by Marriott & Miller global properties. Truth is, i’m insanely jealous. This will bring families closer together and make the chilins’ happy campers… er… hotel goers.
Here’s a quote clipping from the article.
“There’s not a gadget or a screen where kids can’t get to their best friends Dora, Diego, Drake & Josh, Neopets or the Naked Brothers Band,” McGrath said. “And now they can share the good times with all of us on another frontier — the wildest adventure of them all — the family vacation.”
