The opening of Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica was announced by Sunwing Travel Group, a North American integrated travel company, which signed a deal with iconic lifestyle brand Planet Hollywood to dramatically increase the footprint of Planet Hollywood’s hotel operations globally.

The press release stated:

For more than 25 years, the Planet Hollywood brand has been positioned as the authority on entertainment and popular culture. Capitalizing on its close celebrity ties and the universal appeal of movies, television, music, and sports, the Planet Hollywood brand has been successful across the gaming, restaurant, lodging, retail, leisure and entertainment sectors.

“The Planet Hollywood brand has always been about delivering unique and memorable experiences that translate into lifelong memories for our guests,” said Robert Earl, Planet Hollywood’s Founder and Chairman. “I am so excited to partner with Sunwing Travel Group and cannot wait to get started with the first spectacular locations in Costa Rica and Cancun. This is the perfect opportunity to bring ‘fame’ a lot closer to all customers by leveraging Sunwing Travel Group’s proven track record of successfully operating and rapidly expanding premier hotel brands.”

The new Planet Hollywood Beach Resort Costa Rica which will be located in Playa Manzanillo, Bahia Culebra, Papagayo Gulf in Guanacaste, will be the first resort under this new agreement; where customers can “Vacation like a Star™” and interact with Hollywood memorabilia, enjoy entertainment-themed facilities, purchase popular brand merchandise, and maybe even catch a view of a vacationing starlet.

The new Planet Hollywood resorts will use technology to heighten the resort experience, from interactive touch-screen digital displays narrating the memorabilia experience to PHTV™ in-suite and throughout the resort, keeping guests up-to-date with live streaming of events and activities. The brand is investing in details from music architecture to help set the mood to Hollywood lighting to make sure everyone looks fabulous.

The hotel should open doors for the fall of this 2018.
