No matter your age, everyone can dream with a childlike heart at the Mattel Hotel and World of Magic!
As a Barbie photographer, I've been eagerly following the opening of the World of Magic in Mid-Levels since April 2025. After a long and anxious wait, it finally officially opened, so I quickly arranged a vacation there.
My friend and I, both adults, stayed in the Barbie Suite. The room was spacious, with no cramped feeling at all. The design utilized multiple doors to partition the space and included two bathrooms, making it very comfortable and convenient – a perfect choice for a girls' getaway!
The Barbie Afternoon Tea at the Barbie Restaurant came in a pink jewelry box, which was both beautiful and delicious. It's the best and most favorite afternoon tea I've ever had, hands down!
From the Barbie-themed area opposite the front desk, the corridors of the Barbie floor, and the Barbie Restaurant and Barbie Suite, to the Barbie Sweet House next to the hotel, every corner is filled with a Barbie pink atmosphere. It's a must-visit for any Barbie enthusiast!
Many thanks to Ms. Deng Qiumin at the front desk for introducing us to the surrounding dining options and promptly assisting with miscellaneous matters on our check-in day. Also, a big thank you to Ms. Chen Yiwen for her thoughtful answers regarding the room facilities!
We are immensely grateful to the enthusiastic and lively Ms. Liu Miaomiao for her incredibly kind and patient guidance in showing us other types and themed rooms, providing detailed and comprehensive explanations. On our check-out day, she even gifted us printed photos and Barbie Sweet House glass cups, which not only gave us a deeper understanding and exploration of the entire hotel but also left us with precious memories to cherish!
Many thanks to Ms. Liu Xiaolan from the Barbie Restaurant for her attentive and thoughtful service, and also to the restaurant manager who arranged our Barbie Afternoon Tea reservation, as well as the lady who followed up and helped us select our drinks!
The World of Magic theme park is a great place to relax. The biggest advantage of an indoor park is that it allows you to escape the heat and freely immerse yourself in a childlike world. We mainly explored the Mattel PlayTown. The Barbie Land was filled with Barbie pink everywhere, perfect for playing and posing. However, some decorative details seemed a bit sparse (e.g., on the shelves in the Paw Patrol Clinic). We suggest adding more props to enhance the playability. The few children we encountered in the Thomas & Friends zone were having so much fun they were too tired to walk, which clearly demonstrates the park's versatility.
We also went to Zhongshan Passenger Port and took the World of Magic cruise (via the 'Zhonggang Passenger Transport' mini-program – Coastal Sightseeing Line). The journey lasted about 100 minutes. The cabin was spacious and the ride was smooth, definitely worth experiencing.
In a September filled with Barbie pink, my friend and I enjoyed a precious annual getaway. The Mattel Hotel and Barbie Land have become a deeply cherished part of our memories related to our Guangdong vacation.
