R.D. Olson Construction has broken ground on Appellation Healdsburg in Healdsburg’s North Village, a partnership between Comstock Development, chef Charlie Palmer and Christopher Hunsberger’s newest hotels under the Appellation brand. The resort will be spread across eight acres in a campus-style setting and is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2025.
The “food-first” hotel will have 108 guestrooms spread across 12 buildings, with high-end amenities including a restaurant serving signature Charlie Palmer cuisine, luxury wine country spa, lobby and rooftop bars, two swimming pools, modern fitness center, and an expansive lawn and grange hall for events. A nearby mixed-use promenade will also have 12,500 square feet of retail offerings.
“We are thrilled to have started construction on Healdsburg’s North Village Appellation and are excited to bring this new hospitality brand to life” Bill Wilhelm, president of R.D. Olson Construction, said in a statement. “This will truly be a destination hotel with luxury in every detail, and world-class dining experiences, resort amenities and wine country lifestyle for its guests.”
Approximately 80 miles north of San Francisco, the hotel will be located near Sonoma’s main transportation route, Redwood U.S. Highway 101, in the heart of Healdsburg’s plentiful wineries and tasting rooms, while also offering scenic surroundings of rolling hills and vineyards.
R.D. Olson Construction’s partners on Appellation Healdsburg include architect Hart Howerton, EDG Interior Architecture & Design, structural engineers IMEG, MEP engineers EXP, civil engineer Carlile Macy, and soils engineer Kleinfelder.
