**Puerto Vallarta, Mexico** – Emmy-winning actress Jennifer Coolidge was a special guest at the grand opening of The Tryst, a new LGBTQ+-focused hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

They’re a superior group of people.”
The star-studded event, held April 25th and 26th, attracted a host of celebrities including Demi Lovato, Julia Fox, Laverne Cox, and more. The weekend included a drag brunch, further highlighting the inclusive and celebratory atmosphere.
