Luxury hotel chain Karisma Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Viacom International Media Networks, will bring Nickelodeon-branded experiences to its line of Azul Hotels. 

The collaboration marks the first time Nickelodeon has partnered with an international resort chain.

The Nickelodeon vacation experience will include character dining and interactions with Nick characters such as Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.   

“We’re very pleased to work with Azul Hotels by Karisma to bring our fans closer to the Nickelodeon characters they know and love,” says Gerald Raines, senior vice president, global recreation partnerships, Nickelodeon. “These vacation experiences create yet another touch point for Nickelodeon ensuring that we are bringing the joy and fun of our brand to our fans everywhere they are.”

The experiences will debut in summer 2015 at Azul Hotels by Karisma, which are a collection of family-focused, inclusive properties in Riviera Maya, Mexico and Negril, Jamaica.

“We are thrilled to team up with VIMN to introduce Nickelodeon to our visitors, as Nickelodeon shares our dedication to offering the highest-quality entertainment,” says Mandy Chomat, vice president of sales and marketing, Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “We are confident that the exciting and interactive touch points created for Nickelodeon for Azul Hotels by Karisma will make for tons of fun and very special memories among our guests of all ages.”
