These Soda-Inspired Hotel Suites Turn Nostalgia Into Immersive Design
Olipop
Olipop is partnering with Bunkhouse Hotels to transform their Austin location into a futuristic design dream built around the prebiotic soda brand's most beloved flavors.
The better-for-you soda company has unveiled the 'Olipop Time Travel Travel Agency' experience; a one-of-a-kind transformation of the retro-inspired Austin Motel.
From now through July 8th, soda fans will have the opportunity to win a stay in one of three suites that showcase design from iconic decades of the past, offering an immersive and nostalgic night away. Designed and produced by creative partner Callen, each room offers a unique theme to transport guests back to yesteryear.
The 1986 Cream Soda Suite features a vibrant blue color palette and is decked out with retro decor. Channeling retro arcade vibes and feeling like you've stepped back in time to spring break in the '80s thanks to the tropical accent wall, the suite has neon lights, VHS tapes and vintage tech.

A sweet bubblegum pink wonderland, the 1995 Strawberry Vanilla Suite is a maximalist's paradise. Fluffy carpets, satin sheets and beaded curtains add a ton of texture and whimsy to the space, while boyband posters, disco balls and lava lamps amp up the nineties feeling.
A cherry-red Y2K dream, complete with early-2000s memorabilia, the 2002 Cherry Cola Suite is a bold and moody tribute to the aughts and includes a bedazzled feature wall, art collages, bright lights and cherry-themed soft furnishings.

"Just like Olipop sodas transport you back to childhood with that first familiar fizz, we designed these suites to be flavor time machines wrapped in pure nostalgia. The 1986 Cream Soda Suite glows with electric charm —neon blue lighting, towering palms, and a wall of vintage TVs creating that perfect neon-soaked early MTV vibe. Our 1995 Strawberry Vanilla Suite explodes in pink maximalism with inflatable furniture and boy band posters, capturing that ultimate sleepover-at-your-coolest-friend's-house feeling, said Alyssa Mackowski, Creative Director at Olipop. 'And the 2002 Cherry Cola Suite is an all-red celebration of the early 2000s, complete with disco ball ceiling and hanging swing chair, surrounded by all the cultural artifacts of frosted tips and flip phones. Each room doesn't just look like these eras; it feels like them, capturing that same emotional connection and instant recognition that comes with your first sip of perfectly crafted soda. Olipop brings the taste of yesterday into today." How To Enter The Olipop Hotel Sweepstakes
