San Rafael, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2016 -- Palisades Hospitality Group (PHG), a leading hotel and restaurant management, development and consulting firm, today announced the addition of Mosaic Hotel Group (MHG) to its other businesses. PHG manages and operates more than 35 hotels & restaurants throughout the Western United States and Mexico. With more than $120 million in annual revenues and 1,900+ employees, PHG is rapidly growing both domestically and abroad.

Palisades is applying the same theory to our hotels that has made our restaurants so successful – deliver consistent superior quality and service in authentically distinctive settings. -- Tim Harmon, CEO of Palisades Hospitality Group

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the launch of the Mosaic Hotel Group and the superior talent we’ve brought on board to bring the needs of today’s traveler to life through our hotel and restaurant offerings,” said Tim Harmon, Chief Executive Officer of Palisades Hospitality Group. “Palisades is applying the same theory to our hotels that has made our restaurants so successful – deliver consistent superior quality and service in authentically distinctive settings.”

The Mosaic Hotel Group is a collection of award-winning, small, curated hotels in key leisure and urban destinations, that bring rich, unique architecture and local culture to life through beautiful, crafted design, approachable luxury, genuine guest care and destination-worthy restaurants. From a desert retreat to a wine country home base, Mosaic Hotels evoke a sense of place and are as unique as the guests who visit them. Mosaic hotels provide an immersive experience for the modern traveler, allowing guests to be a part of local culture and the community. From the attention to design detail to attentive guest care to the locally-adored on-site restaurants—Mosaic Hotels are not merely influenced by their environments, but are a piece of them. With a portfolio of small properties featuring fewer than 80 rooms each, Mosaic Hotels are able to deliver truly personal service to each guest in a way that sets them apart. Whether guests are looking for a place to play, dine, work or relax, Mosaic offers a travel experience that allows them to savor the best of what life has to offer.

The Mosaic portfolio includes the charming El Dorado Hotel & Kitchen in the heart of Sonoma wine country; the oasis-like Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs, California; and the luxurious North Block Hotel in the epicurean enclave of Napa Valley’s Yountville.

MHG will join PHG’s other innovative businesses including the Moana Restaurant Group, which operates a unique collection of restaurants renowned for innovative cuisine in engaging environments; Palisades Hotel Partners, which acquires and develops hotel properties across all regions of the United States, designs them for the modern traveler; Forward Hospitality, which is focused on the acquisition and development of authentic, truly one-of-kind destination properties throughout Mexico; and Logis Hospitality Solutions, which provides financial services, accounting expertise, back office administration and reporting systems for all types of hotels and restaurants.

MHG hotels are renowned for setting the bar for authenticity, quality, style, approachable luxury and incredible customer service among travelers. For example, North Block Hotel is a radiantly inviting mix of luxury, old world charm and modernity, and received a 2014 and 2015 Reader’s Choice Award by Condé Nast Traveler. El Dorado Hotel, located in a two-story building overlooking the bustling Sonoma plaza, is a wine country destination. At the heart of the hotel, travelers enjoy world class dining in its award-winning restaurant El Dorado Kitchen, which serves farm-to-table fare, craft cocktails and a Sonoma-focused wine list.

Mosaic is planning four new hotels in 2016 with more on the way in 2017. To support and fuel the growth of MHG and its other business divisions, PHG has recruited top hospitality talent, including:
