On Thursday, July 27th of 2019, a temporary Taco Bell Hotel and Resort in Palm Springs California began accepting reservations, and about two minutes later it was completely booked. Taco Bell’s hotel and resort, known as The Bell, opened on August 8 and closed on August 12th. Taco Bell superfans only had four nights to enjoy Taco Bell themed pool floats, rooms, and much more. Unfortunately, there were only 70 rooms available, which meant that fans throughout the country had low chances of booking a reservation. Those who were lucky enough to go were rumored to have a great experience. Since most didn’t get to experience this once in a lifetime event, here is everything you need to know about The Bell.
As guests walk into the lobby, they receive a welcome gift accompanied by a refreshment. The hotel was filled with Taco Bell decor and each room was carefully decorated with walls that displayed the famous Taco Bell Fire sauce. The beds were kept simple with white sheets, a Fire sauce pillow and a blue foot blanket with The Bell embroidered on it.
Guests can start their day with Taco Bell room service or sunrise yoga at the poolside. If a guest would rather rest, he or she can simply go to the pool and order any menu item served to them at the poolside for free. At the pool, guests could enjoy the sun while floating around on a Fire Sauce packet pool float. A “chill room” was also available to those who’d rather beat the heat. In the chill room, there were slushy machines with Taco Bell’s Baja Blast slushies handy to visitors. Guests could also go to the Baja Bar where they were served costume cocktails and exclusive dishes.
As if there wasn’t enough to do at The Bell, guests could get Taco Bell inspired nail and hair services at the salon. Performances by synchronized swimmers could be enjoyed by guests or they could enjoy movies at the pool. They could also enjoy live music performances by Feed The Beat. From swimsuits to sunglasses, guests could treat themselves to The Bell’s gift shop. This temporary hotel and resort was filled with spectacular things to see and experience that only a few lucky fans got to make memories out of.
