Domaine Hospitality Partners, with representatives from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Foursome Development Company, announced plans to launch Project Bella hotel adjacent to the aquarium on Pacific Grove, California’s historic cannery row.
“We look forward to being a meaningful contributor to the marine research community by supporting great efforts underway in the Monterey National Marine Sanctuary and by being strong supporters of ocean sustainability, preservation, and protection,” says Ron Meer, president and CEO of Domaine Hospitality Partners.
The sustainability-focused hotel has been planned with the intention of achieving LEED Platinum certification. Only four hotels in the U.S., including Maryland’s College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, have ever been certified LEED Platinum.
San Francisco-based Hornberger+Worstell will fashion the 160-room hotel at the site of the American Tin Cannery retail center. Upon completion, it will include conference and meeting facilities, along with oceanview accommodations.
