The [Hotel Athenee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-twin-stars-rooms) in Paris is appealing to younger crowds these days with their Barbie-themed rooms. The hotel has decided to redecorate two of their rooms for a Barbie-themed slumber, looking like they are actually outfitted for [Barbie's dreamhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder).

The suite is going for $1,980 for one night, which will be sure to let a little princess live like one for the evening. The Hotel Athenee in Paris is quite the elegant one, so it's no surprise that they're foraging into a younger market with their Barbie-themed rooms.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out
