Riviera Nayarit, Mexico—All Inclusive Collection is adding even more bling to the five-star Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta. The company is set to debut the hotel’s new 12,900-square-foot Sanctuary Convention Center—the largest ever built in Riviera Nayarit—in the fall of 2015.

The new convention center is inspired by the U.K.’s Sanctuary Records Group, one of the world’s largest independent record labels, and will triple the hotel’s existing meeting and event space to roughly 20,000 square feet.

“More than 70 percent of the brand’s groups business is repeat customers and whether meeting for business or tying the knot, we look forward to serving more needs with the expansion of the resort,” Kevin Edmunds, vice president of Meeting & Incentive Sales, said in a statement. “We provide the highest level of customization and flexibility to each guest and every group, allowing us to exceed guests’ expectations and add to their memories.”

Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta’s latest addition will pay tribute to the iconic artists formerly and currently signed to the record label, and will be adorned with memorabilia including a Black Sabbath guitar, a Jimi Hendrix mural, an Elton John beaded jacket and a Guns N’Roses amplifier.

The 348-key hotel was recently awarded Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers Choice Award. Hotel amenities include six restaurants, five bars, two outdoor swimming pools and two outdoor hydro tubs, fitness center and spa, volleyball and basketball courts, and a beauty salon, among others.
