Léal Hospitality has established Morgan Hill as a bourgeoning food and wine scene for Northern California, with epicurean-focused locations like MOHI Farm, Léal Vineyards, and MOHI Ranch, among others. Appellation’s foray into the community takes the Morgan Hill guest experience to another level. The 76-key, five-story Hotel MOHI by Appellation will offer unmatched accommodations for exploration and discovery of this vibrant town. As one of the pioneers behind the transformation of the Sonoma County Wine Region, Charlie Palmer now has his sights set on putting Morgan Hill on the map in a similar fashion.

“Our vision for Appellation is to uncover lesser-known culinary destinations by opening hotels in locales like Morgan Hill,” notes Appellation co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Charlie Palmer. “Appellation hotels are meant to express the essence of the place with a sense of ‘here.’ Like the rest of our portfolio, we will be truly embedding food and beverage into every aspect of Hotel MOHI by Appellation, from design to programming.”

Hotel MOHI by Appellation will be thoughtfully designed as the ultimate urban retreat for exploring Morgan Hills’ walkable downtown area – whose lively restaurant scene, boutique shops, cozy cafes and historic buildings are complemented by surrounding Santa Clara County vineyards. Intentionally positioned at 4.5 stars with approachable luxury in mind, the hotel will feature world-class service with a suite of modern amenities and experiences, while also intimately immersing guests in the local community.

At the heart of the hotel will be a 215-seat signature Charlie Palmer restaurant and bar, sourcing from on-site gardens, Léal Hospitality’s estates and other local purveyors. The hotel plans to produce key ingredients from scratch, including roasting small-batch coffee and making olive oil with olive trees grown on the premises.

“Frank Léal is a beloved pillar of the community. Leveraging his long-time commitment to Morgan Hill and to farm fresh, locally sourced dining will be key to the success of Hotel MOHI by Appellation,” says Appellation co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Christopher Hunsberger. “His establishments have long drawn in crowds from the greater Silicon Valley area, and we are excited to start bringing wider, much-deserved attention to the region with Hotel MOHI by Appellation.”

Additional hotel amenities will include a serene terrace pool and deck with lush greenery complete with a tucked-away pocket bar, a marketplace and flower shop lounge, and a café and bakery that transitions into a cocktail and wine bar come evening. The state-of-the-art, wine-country-inspired spa and fitness club will boast five treatment rooms offering olive scrub treatments, salt cleansing massages and a sauna room.

Hotel MOHI by Appellation’s 7,730 square-feet ballroom will have the capacity to host up to 500 people, representing the single largest indoor event space in Morgan Hill. The ballroom will also provide a modern organic design flex space that can open to a show-kitchen for live action culinary experiences. With an additional 1,861 square-feet of dedicated indoor function space, Hotel MOHI by Appellation will offer the most premium accommodations of any competitive luxury resorts or wineries in the region.

“Léal Hospitality’s existing portfolio of Morgan Hill-based venues currently host more than 65,000 annual guests across 400 weddings and events per year, and we are consistently forced to turn away 50 percent of inquiries due to limitations in venue space and surrounding lodging accommodations,” remarks Frank Léal, Owner, Léal Hospitality. “Our partnership to create Hotel MOHI by Appellation will allow us to accommodate a wider array of meetings and celebrations, solidifying Morgan Hill’s position as a major hub for gatherings in Silicon Valley and the surrounding wine country.”

With the addition of Hotel MOHI by Appellation, the Appellation brand continues to carve a name for itself in several iconic destinations. The brand will continue a steady stream of new-build openings with Appellation Healdsburg next year, followed by Appellation Sun Valley, Appellation Petaluma and Appellation Pacific Grove.

About Appellation
Appellation, meaning “to give a name to a place,” crafts unparalleled culinary-centered places of hospitality that immerse guests in the uniquely local aspects of exceptional destinations. The first hotel brand born from the merger of culinary and hospitality, Appellation is about comfort and connection over formality and extravagance – perfectly blending luxury amenities with real world experiences born of this place. The company is the vision of co-founders Charlie Palmer, one of America’s best-known chefs who arguably created the successful hotel restaurant model, and Christopher Hunsberger, who spent over 30 years in strategic leadership roles with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. When the first Appellation hotels open in Healdsburg (CA), Morgan Hill (CA), Sun Valley (ID), Petaluma (CA), Pacific Grove (CA), they will set a new standard for immersion in culinary, culture and community that can only be found “here.” To learn more, visit www.appellationhotels.com.

The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue fell in a unique category of destinations ideal for couples and families desperately looking to escape the four corners of their homes for a quick, safe, and easy getaway. They are keeping it close to home and choosing secluded locations away from crowds. The property is situated in Knox County, halfway between Cleveland and Columbus in the heart of Ohio’s Mohican Valley and occupies 77 private acres of beautiful indigenous landscape and offers nine state-of-art treehouses, four ground cabins, and two country homes. New projects in development include a glamping tent treehouse, and a 2nd Airstream ground cabin. Knox County is home to one of the largest and arguably most diverse Amish settlements in the world boasting views of natural landscape, scenic countryside, and rolling hills making it one of the most beautiful backdrops of Fall foliage in the country.

The Mohicans Treehouse Resort and Wedding Venue is owned by husband and wife team, Kevin and Laura Mooney whose childhood memories of spending time on the Mohican River and its surrounding woods left an indelible impression. In 2011, they collaborated with Pete Nelson, from Animal Planet’s Treehouse Masters on the White Oak and Little Red treehouses. Sustainability is evident throughout the property with repurposed and recycled materials including 100-year old barn siding, reused windows and cabinets, and hand-hewn beams. Vintage elements are 2 complemented by lavish touches, including chandeliers, high-end furniture, and luxurious bedding.

The Mohicans Wedding Venue is the property’s piece de resistance and one of the most sought-after wedding venues in the Midwest. The two-story timber structure features barn beams, hardwood flooring, a vast solid oak staircase leading up to an upper level mezzanine with access to a second story outside deck. Inside the main dining area, tables rest under white and crystal chandeliers. Sliding barn shutters and solid pine trusses add to the venue’s rustic charm.

All the treehouses have their own unique signature. Some of the stand-outs include The Nest, a whimsical honeymoon suite with cathedral windows and a massive cedar shingle domed roof. Another favorite is Tin Shed which features a corrugated metal exterior, a full-sized garage door, and a 100-foot extension bridge connected by a steel spiral staircase. Recent additions include Silver Bullet, a renovated 1978 Airstream trailer perched 22 feet off the ground; and The View, a modern treehouse with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a panoramic view of the surrounding woods.

Treehouse Provisions is The Mohicans’ new virtual kitchen and event tasting center in Cleveland. The restaurant boasts a hearty menu of comfort foods made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and products enhancing the campfire experience.
