All Inclusive Hard Rock Hotels Open in Mexico

8/1/2012

MIAMI, FLa.—The All Inclusive Collection announced the official re-flagging of Cancun Palace and Vallarta Palace to the all inclusive Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta. The Hard Rock flag was raised at both Cancun Palace and Vallarta Palace on Wednesday, marking the official rebranding of the two properties and the arrival of Mexico’s first Hard Rock Hotels.

Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta will join Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic as the only all inclusive Hard Rock Hotels in the world. Additionally, the All Inclusive Collection will debut one more all inclusive Hard Rock Hotel when its Aventura Palace is re-branded to Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in spring 2013. Exclusively marketed by the All Inclusive Collection, the four properties are owned and operated by an affiliate of the company by means of licensing agreements from Hard Rock International.

"We are so proud to present Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta as Mexico’s first Hard Rock Hotels,” said Rafael Chapur, chief operating officer of the All Inclusive Collection, in an announcement. “These two properties join the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana in creating a unique all inclusive experience that will continue to exceed guest expectations within every facet of the resort experience."

Both Hard Rock Hotel Cancun and Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta will offer Hard Rock’s signature Rock Star Suites and will showcase an extensive collection of authentic memorabilia from international and local music artists, while incorporating diverse music genres throughout. Both will also include the Rock Spa and the Sound of Your Stay program, designed to provide guests with an all-encompassing music experience during their stay. Additionally, in keeping with the Hard Rock tradition, each property will host an ongoing schedule of live concerts and celebrity-driven.

The all inclusive Hard Rock Hotel Cancun offers guests 601 rooms, all featuring private balconies and water views, five restaurants including a new Brazilian steakhouse, five bars and lounges, a spa with outdoor palapa-style massage areas, an expansive poolscape and meeting facilities including a 16,408-sq.-ft. convention center.

Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta features 348 guestrooms, four restaurants, four bars, the Rock Spa, two swimming pools, and 6,300 square feet of meeting facilities.
