The renovation will focus heavily on infrastructure, contemporary design and tangible guest benefits. When guests return, both properties will feature fully updated accommodations, public spaces and core amenities. Meeting and convention spaces at both hotels will also receive a complete design overhaul. The beachfront wedding chapel at Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta will also be renovated to offer an elegant, updated setting for ceremonies.
Additionally, a new and exclusive collection of music history will debut across both hotels, featuring unique items from legendary icons and today’s top global artists.
