Where the crashing surf greets the monarch butterflies, we are crafting something extraordinary.
On the border of two townscapes, Appellation touches upon the duality of the historically industrial Cannery Row and the artistically-inclined Pacific Grove community. Appellation Pacific Grove embraces the rich history of craft and nature with just a slight industrial bent - balancing an outward aesthetic that feels at home on the peninsula with a warmer residential interior reminiscent of the creative and open-minded personality of the Arts and Crafts era.
Just steps from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Appellation Pacific Grove sits gently on a sloping bluff overlooking the Bay- providing for unparalleled views. Generous in both appointments and finishes, the hotel has numerous defining features. But the crowning jewel (quite literally) is the rooftop gardens. Suspended 50 feet above the water’s edge is a feature beyond compare. Native vegetation borders a peaceful sanctuary that gracefully hosts guests wanting a perspective on the sea that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Perfect for an inspiring stroll, iconic photographs and incomparable events.

The Soul of Pacific Grove
The Monterey peninsula is historically symbolic of a area colored with the tales of workers and roughnecks whose stories capture an enduring determination and get-things-done attitude.
While modern travelers to the area today aren’t necessarily getting their hands dirty fishing, they continue to embody that ‘can do’ approach that characterized the area; innovating, solving, and moving forward with purpose.
A lasting symbol of natural beauty, Pacific Grove remains a place of inspired tranquility on the picturesque California coast.
Immortalized in poems, stories, and memories - the area is steeped in a history spurred by the dramatic yet peaceful landscape.
Piney forests, striking shorelines, wildflowers, and the annual migration of monarch butterflies gifted this town its reputation as a place for both relaxation and artistic inspiration. Attracting travelers, en pleine-aire artists, famous writers, and all around dreamers, it has long been a destination for creatives and those seeking inspiration.
