Designed to celebrate the region’s rich agricultural heritage and vibrant food culture, the 77-room boutique hotel will feature a signature Charlie Palmer restaurant and bar, a terrace pool, a modern spa and fitness club, and extensive event spaces, including a ballroom and an additional 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.

Inspired by the natural beauty of California’s Central Coast, the Léal Hospitality Group is a one-of-a-kind collection of carefully curated urban and rural properties located in Morgan Hill and Hollister, encompassing restaurants, wineries, event venues, and soon a full-service boutique hotel dedicated to creating unique and memorable guest experiences. Born from the elegant merger of the culinary and hospitality worlds, Appellation is much more than a typical hotel company.

Inspired by its name, this new hotel brand brings together the best of local elements in a new way: a hotel collection powered by people, connected by food, and defined by place - all designed to celebrate the culture, community, and craftsmanship of its destinations. Developed by visionary co-founders Charlie Palmer, one of America’s most celebrated, award‑winning chefs and a pioneer of the modern hotel‑restaurant model, and Christopher Hunsberger, a 30‑year veteran of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and former President of North Americas, Appellation is taking root within the Léal Hospitality Group.

Join Appellation as its future hotels and resorts take root in Morgan Hill in mid-2026.
