About Appellation
Born from the elegant merger of the culinary and hospitality worlds, Appellation is much more than a typical hotel company.

Developed by visionary co-founders Charlie Palmer, one of America’s best-known, award-winning chefs and pioneer in the American hotel-restaurant model, and Christopher Hunsberger, a 30-year veteran of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and its former president of North Americas.
