So far this week, we've heard how Timothy Harmon, founder and CEO of Palisades Hospitality thinks differently about creating hotels. Now, we want to give you a sense of what's coming next—a "future case study" that's been over 10 years in the making and is set to open in early 2026. Today, Tim reveals his most ambitious vision yet for the first time - The Elene - a decade-in-the-making property that reimagines luxury through the lens of community connection. Located along the Napa Valley Wine Trail and surrounded by vineyards, The Elene is designed to connect guests to both community and nature through unique spaces like its recovery garden, outdoor living room, and bike-friendly amenities. I want you to hear how this project came to be, how Tim thinks about its purpose, and why it offers a glimpse into what's next in hospitality.
