Among the attractions are wall-to-wall Mariah-themed décor, an upgraded “Queen of Christmas” homage, Santa’s sleigh photo-ops and album backdrop re-creations.
Last year, Carey teamed up with Virgin Hotels to create “All I Want for Christmas”-themed bars across the country, in honor of the 1994 hit’s 30th anniversary.
The hotel brand, in partnership with Bucket Listers, introduced Mariah Carey’s Black Irish Holiday Bars in Chicago, Dallas, New York City, Nashville and New Orleans.
Highlights from last year’s festivities set to return include twice-hourly plays of Carey’s iconic holiday song, a “Letters to Mariah Carey” station and cocktails made with Carey’s Black Irish cream.
