"I like to make it feel sort of 'grandma-core' is my joke, but as many florals and prints, colors, throw blankets, robes and cushions, all of the above is my vibe for making a hotel feel like home for a night. And so I've decorated it as such." The "Guest How Carly Rae Jepsen Guests" package is available to all IHG One Rewards members, who can use their rewards points through July 30 at 12 p.m. EST to bid on the stay.

They'll also dine on her go-to order of sole, Caesar salad and french fries during the stay. "I just went full-blown 'Come to grandma's house,' but also make it a little Pretty Woman-esque with champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, vinyl and things that make it feel so cozy," she says. "You can go rage during the day and come home to some sort of cozy sanctuary at night." IHG Hotels & Resorts' 'Guest How Carly Rae Jepsen Guests' Experience. Courtesy of IHG Hotels & Resorts Jepsen was allowed to go "full indulgence" with her ideas for the suite — and she didn't hold back: "I was like, 'We're going to need Häagen-Dazs ice cream. We're going to need face masks. We're just going to make it luxury for the night.'" More information about the package can be found at the IHG One Rewards website — and hopeful fans should hurry, because the "Cut to the Feeling" musician is already counting down the days. "It'll be a really nice weekend," says Jepsen. "I'm really looking forward to the whole thing." Close
