Taco Bell ("lifestyle") is opening a taco-themed hotel and resort

[underpants]

Starting on Aug. 9, fans of the fast-food chain looking to get away from it all can book a room at The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort in Palm Springs, Calif. According to Taco Bell, the hotel will offer several unique menu items that will only be available at the hotel. It will only be open for a limited time, however.

"Get ready for ‘Bell’hops and Baja Blasts, fire sauce and sauce packet floaties, because the Taco Bell Hotel is coming and will give fans an unexpected and unforgettable trip of a lifetime," reps for the chain said in a press release obtained by Fox News.

“From check-in to check-out, The Bell: A Taco Bell Hotel and Resort reimagines what a hotel stay can be, unveiling a destination inspired by tacos and fueled by fans. <—— 🌬 👀😳

The hotel and resort will also reportedly feature a “not-to-miss gift shop,” which will offer exclusive apparel. There will also be an onsite salon which will offer Taco Bell-inspired nail art and hairstyles options.

Taco Bell’s Chief Global Brand Officer Marisa Thalberg called the hotel “the biggest expression of the Taco Bell lifestyle to date.”

9. I'm ashamed to say that I actually LOVE Taco Bell.

I've never had any GI distress from it, and I have the most temperamental colon on the planet.

[GusBob]

14. Same, its my guilty pleasure, and of fast food supposed to be the healthiest?

Not sure how true that is....

[customerserviceguy]

17. I won't say I love it

but every once in awhile, I will stop there for a steak burrito. And no GI distress here, either.

19. Baja Blast Freeze is the nectar of the gods.

Tastes like a frozen margarita, which I'm sure is why they're so popular.

I heard that the Donald met Melania at the 'Grab 'n Go' section of the gift store there.

18. Is this story from April 1?

It really sounds like the kind of story Taco Bell always puts out for April Fools Day.

[Dave Starsky]

20. No, it's real. Taco Bell does nutty stuff like that.

As mentioned above, they host a Taco Bell themed wedding chapel in Las Vegas. Around 500 people have gotten married there.

22. Taco Bell meat to me still smells like ALPO dogfood in a can.

Seriously, that is exactly what it think when I smell it.

[underpants]

23. It's not actually cooked at the restaurant

Had a coworker who worked there at one point. They get the meat precooked and warm it in hot water. Keep it warm that way.

Colbert on his old show did a hilarious bit about Taco Bell being sued for not using actual beef. The response letter was hilarious.
