'Hard Rock Cafes x Shakira' have teamed up to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8 and throughout March, with a limited-time menu initiative aimed at empowering women worldwide. A portion of the proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Hard Rock Heals Foundation® and the Pies Descalzos Foundation, Shakira’s non-profit organization that supports the education and social development of girls in Colombia’s most vulnerable communities, in addition to local women’s organizations.
The exclusive menu features Shakira’s favorite dishes, including the 'Hips Don’t Lie Cocktail,' made with silver tequila, elderflower liqueur, muddled strawberries, and cucumbers; a 'Chicken Fattoush Salad,' inspired by Shakira’s Lebanese heritage; the 'Hamburguesa Colombiana'; and a 'Dulce De Leche Hot Fudge Brownie.'
Additionally, Hard Rock Hotels guests can enjoy the Sound of Your Stay® program, which offers all-women Spotify playlists and vinyl records from 10 iconic female artists to set the mood for relaxation or exploration.
