Picture yourself on summer vacation: fully relaxed, laying out by the pool, sipping on…a Mountain Dew Baja Blast?

That dream could become a reality at The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort, which is coming to Palm Springs this summer, the fast food chain announced on Thursday morning. Starting on August 9 for an undisclosed limited time, Taco Bell will be taking over an existing resort (they have not announced which one yet), transforming it into a fully-immersive fan experience.

“Everything from guest rooms to breakfast and poolside cocktails will be infused with a Taco Bell twist,” the company’s press release states. There will also be Taco Bell-branded robes, hot sauce packet pool floats, and an on-site gift shop filled with exclusive taco apparel. Truly committed guests can even book an appointment at the salon, which will offer “Taco Bell-inspired nail art, fades and a braid bar.”

“The Bell stands to be the biggest expression of the Taco Bell lifestyle to date. It will be fun, colorful, flavorful and filled with more than what our fans might expect,” Taco Bell’s chief global branding officer Marisa Thalberg said in the release. “Also, just like some of our most sought-after food innovation, this hotel brings something entirely new for lucky fans to experience and enjoy.”

Is it a new “sanctuary” city?

Oh boy, Taco Belch! It’ll sound like that town full of Barneys on The Simpsons...

PRO TIP: Avoid the “Lazy River” at all cost

Uhhh, no. I wonder what marketing genius came up with this?

Wow, you’d have to be a real ditsy tourist to go an amusement park hotel named after a fast food slop joint. Taco Tomorrow Land, or go to Buffalo Bills Burrito Adventure Land. They could install barf bags, Alka Seltzer or Pepto-Bismol dispensers through out the facility.

a 39 cent taco branding a resort spa in an expensive vacation city?

well, Sears once did try to brand expensive mink stoles

(but that failed, miserably)...

So Taco Bell won the Franchise Wars after all?

Sly Stallone will be glad to hear that.

There aren’t enough shells for me to stay at a Taco Bell resort.

Art imitates life. How long before "Alexa" becomes a monitor for the "Standard Morality Code"? Hehehe. d;^)

Any other old timers here remember when Taco Bell had a pronunciation key on it’s menu?

[MikelTackNailer]

But will they have the “three shells” instead of toilet paper in the bathrooms? That’s a deal killer for me.

Great movie.

Best scene in the movie...



"You got that right. See, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener". You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau's way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death."

Agreed!
