There’s a new hotel brand coming to the Caribbean, with a familiar name: Nickelodeon.

Karisma Hotels and Resorts and Viacom International Media have announced an agreement to develop a new brand called Nickelodeon Hotels, an all-inclusive collection of family-friendly properties.

The first hotel planned to debut under the brand is the Nickelodeon Punta Cana, which is slated for opening in the Dominican Republic in late 2016.

A second branded Nickelodeon hotel is planned to open in Mexico “shortly thereafter,” according to the company.

“We are ecstatic to partner with Viacom International Media Networks on the creation of Nickelodeon Hotels, a collection that will embody our shared commitment to deliver family-friendly experiences that are as fun as they are unforgettable,” said Mandy Chomat, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “Karisma Hotels & Resorts’ focus on elevated carefree vacations and exceptional service combined with the adventurous spirit and playfulness that define Nickelodeon are sure to make Nickelodeon Hotels destinations unlike any other for guests of all ages.”
