Novotel, in collaboration with Disney, has announced the launch of a magical campaign in honour of Wish, the latest Disney movie set to grace Australian and New Zealand screens this Boxing Day.

Wish is Walt Disney Animation Studios’ newest musical comedy following Ariana DeBose as Asha, who makes a powerful wish on a star to save her community.

Throughout summer, Novotel hotels and resorts across Australia and New Zealand will transform into enchanting havens for families. For example: Novotel Perth Murray Street is offering free kids activities, including star-shaped cookie and cupcake decorating, and at Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square guests can pick up coloured pencils, activity books, bubble games, or a copy of the Wish storybook. Plus, across all Novotel hotels, kids under 16 stay and enjoy breakfast for free.

In a continuation of its commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences for families, this partnership allows Novotel to weave the magic of Wish into the fabric of its properties.

“Building on the success of our partnership with Disney Pixar’s LIGHTYEAR in 2022, we are excited to again be partnering with Disney for the release of Wish at such a magical time of year,” said Accor Pacific CEO Sarah Derry. “Novotel is a leading family brand within the hotel and hospitality space, so partnering with Disney, a global leader in family entertainment, is a great opportunity and we are delighted that this campaign will create even more memorable moments for our guests.”

The comprehensive campaign for Novotel and Disney extends across numerous channels. In collaboration with Sunrise, Novotel will present a week-long competition commencing on the 18th of December. Viewers will have the opportunity to win a remarkable $20,000 prize, adding an extra layer of excitement to the holiday season. In addition, Novotel will engage with key family influencers across social, with a stay and Wish movie experience, encouraging audiences to ‘see #Wish and stay at @novotelhotels for a magical family adventure’.
