Novotel and Universal Pictures Wickedly magical partnership

Novotel has partnered with Universal Pictures to celebrate the highly anticipated release of Wicked, premiering across the Asia Pacific on 21 November 2024.

Known for creating memorable family stays, Novotel is embracing the enchanting world of Wicked with themed experiences and offerings across its hotels in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Asia.

Spellbinding Experiences for Families and Fans

Guests at select Novotel hotels in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and throughout Asia can indulge in a Wicked-inspired high tea experience, featuring emerald-green cocktails and mocktails reminiscent of the magical Emerald City. Signature treats like ‘bewitched’ beef sliders, a ‘defying gravity’ cottage cheese dip, and whimsical matcha tiramisu offer a playful twist on traditional fare.

Participating Novotel hotels are transforming their spaces with Oz-inspired touches, from vibrant pink and green themed rooms to lobbies that guide visitors along a yellow brick road. On 20 November 2024, Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour will light up in green and pink to mark the collaboration’s official launch.

Families can enjoy the magic of Wicked through The Novotel Family Offer, which allows kids up to 16 to stay and eat breakfast for free when sharing a room with their parents.

A Celebration of Wicked on the Big Screen

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the cinematic adaptation of Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, bringing the beloved stage production to life for a new generation.

Guests can complement their Wicked experience with a stay at participating Novotel locations. Accommodation rates in Australia start at $233 AUD at Novotel Melbourne on Collins, while rates in New Zealand begin at $243 NZD at Novotel Rotorua Lakeside.
