Taco Bell wants you to escape to a tropical "Tacoasis" this summer.

The fast-food company is opening "The Bell," a hotel and resort in Palm Springs this summer, according to a news release Thursday.

The Bell will open its doors for a limited time beginning Aug. 9, the release states.

The announcement appeared to catch city officials off guard, with Assistant City Manager Marcus Fuller saying Thursday morning, "At this point, we're as surprised as everyone else. At least, I am."

He said the city reached out to Taco Bell's parent company, Yum! Brands, for details, but were only told information would be disclosed at later dates.

Fuller said he was unaware of any permit applications that may have been filed as part of the pop-up.

The pop-up coincides with the second weekend of Splash House, an electronic music event staged at hotel pools around Palm Springs and on the tarmac at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The 2019 parties will be held June 7-9 and Aug. 9-11.

Tyler McLean, who produces Splash House in partnership with Goldenvoice, said the opening dates are a coincidence and that the pop-up "is not directly related to us." The host hotels are the Renaissance, Saguaro and Riviera. The Air Museum will host the after-hours parties on Friday and Saturday nights.

The Bell hotel will boast a reimagined hotel experience "inspired by tacos and fueled by fans" from check-in to check-out, according to the news release.

"Everything from guest rooms to breakfast and poolside cocktails will be infused with a Taco Bell twist, making this the flavor-filled getaway of 2019," the statement reads.

The hotel also will include a gift shop full of Taco Bell merchandise, an on-site salon and "new menu surprises."
