Set to open in early 2026, Hotel MOHI by Appellation will redefine luxury hospitality and culinary innovation in Morgan Hill. The visionary project comes from Frank Léal, entrepreneur and founder of Léal Hospitality, in partnership with Appellation, the culinary-first hospitality brand co-founded by Michelin-starred chef Charlie Palmer and hospitality veteran Christopher Hunsberger. Designed to celebrate the region's rich agricultural heritage and vibrant food culture, the hotel will feature a 215-seat signature Charlie Palmer restaurant and bar, a terrace pool, a modern spa and fitness club, and extensive event spaces, including a 7,730-square-foot ballroom accommodating up to 500 guests and an additional 1,861 square feet of dedicated function space. Guests and locals alike will enjoy a dynamic mix of offerings, from a marketplace and flower shop lounge to a café that transitions into a cocktail and wine bar by night, creating a seamless blend of community, cuisine, and contemporary luxury.
The hotel's debut follows a number of recent 2025 openings for Appellation, including Appellation Healdsburg and Appellation Lodi - Wine & Roses Resort and Spa, as the brand continues to expand its footprint across California and beyond.
