I don’t even like Taco Bell at what it’s supposed to be, a fast food restaurant. If I do go, I’m always half-expecting that I ingested listeria.
- The Bell is the brand’s latest appeal to its super fans, who can buy Taco Bell-themed apparel and have Taco Bell-themed weddings.
- Reservations will open in June.
Taco Bell’s latest limited-time offer isn’t Nacho Fries — it’s a hotel.
The Mexican fast-food chain is taking over a Palm Springs, California, hotel and resort in its latest move to recognize the brand’s super fans.
The Bell will feature a gift shop with exclusive Taco Bell-themed apparel and an on-site salon with Taco Bell-inspired nail art and hair styling services.
Taco Bell’s Chief Brand Officer Marisa Thalberg said that the idea for a Taco Bell-themed hotel is meant to be playful and fun, but the brand sincerely intends for it to be an “unparalleled experience,” and opted to house the Bell in a fully operational hotel.
“I have often quipped that Taco Bell is the fast fashion of food. We have our everyday classics, but then we’re always introducing these cool limited-edition experiences to do something new and different,” Thalberg said in an interview.
Other experiences include wedding customers in a Taco Bell-themed ceremony for $600 at its Las Vegas Cantina flagship location. To date, Taco Bell has had over 165 wedding registrations. The brand has also teamed with fast-fashion retailer Forever 21 to sell clothes with its logo and imagery.

“The Bell will feature a gift shop with exclusive Taco Bell-themed apparel”….but if I wear a sombrero isn’t that cultural appropriation?

Include me out.

Believe it or not, just 15 minutes ago I had Taco Bell for lunch. Yummm, horse meat tacos. Not much to choose from where I live.
I hope their towels and sheets and stain-free.
Have mercy.
Now, make it a Del Taco spa, and I just might go take a look. lol!
This place will be full of semi-broke college students and hipster douchebags for about a month. Then they’ll move on to another horrible idea that manifests itself.
…I have very little hope for the cleanliness level of the rooms, based on the way they manage their “restaurants”…
…OTOH, given what their pay scales are, the maids are very likely to match the themeing just by default…

No thanks.
I want Mexican food instead.
Occasionally, I do enjoy me some taco bell! Always gives me the shiites, but as j6p pointed out above, it is pretty yummy horse meat. All in the seasoning.

Can’t wait for the Taco Bell Airline, where passengers are given a discount according to how much jet-assist they provide after the in-fright meal.
Can they get Tom Bodette to say, “We’ll leave the fan on for you.”
Here’s a thought: instead of branching out & being a hotel & resort as mediocre as the food, why not try improving the food?
Instead of a mint on the pillow, guests will find a little packet of Pepto-Bismal.
I make hell-of-a-lot better Mexican food than Taco Bell. Maybe I’ll open up a hotel. I’ll call it Billy’s Burrito Bungalow.
Soon to follow, Chipotle Mexican Grill World.
Because Real Food is Really Rewarding,,,

NOT trolling: I *love* their “Diablo” sauce. 😮
Run for the toilet
My wife is TexMex and she says Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food as much as Olive Garden is authentic Italian.
Both suck.

30% filler in a hotel sends a nasty message!
I’d rather stay at Pilot Flying J!
/sigh
And I know two people who would absolutely love to go and stay there, my own two goofy brothers. -_-
They’re obsessed with taco bell.
