Hard Rock International and All Inclusive Collection is opening Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Cancun, an all-inclusive resort in late 2017.

A 15-minute drive away from the Cancun International Airport, the  oceanfront property will feature 1,800 guestrooms, more than 90,000 square feet of meeting and event space, six world-class restaurants, five bars and lounges, as well as a variety of entertainment venues. Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Cancun is meant to appeal to both families and adult travelers by incorporating an 8-million gallon, lagoon-style swimming pool, a kids club, private teen zone, designated family pool areas, and a nightclub, among others.

“We are excited to welcome our fifth property in Mexico and build upon our collaboration with All Inclusive Collection,” said Marco Roca, EVP CEO – Hotels at Hard Rock International. “Boasting an exotic backdrop, superb climate and unrivalled amenities, including a beach-front lagoon pool, Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Cancun will offer the ultimate resort experience, tempting travelers to never leave.”

Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Cancun will feature brand amenities such as the Rock Spa, Rock Shop, The Sound of Your Stay amenity program, a Hard Rock golf course, and a Body Rock fitness center.

The new hotel will be the third Yucatan Peninsula property in the Hard Rock International portfolio. The company already owns multiple properties in the Caribbean, including Hard Rock Hotel Cancun, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Punta Cana, and Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya.
