Taco Bell Chief Brand Officer Marisa Thalberg revealed the idea for this hotel is designed to be playful and enjoyable, offering an “unparalleled experience,” which is why “The Bell” is happening 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.

YUM stock is up about 0.5% today.
