Independent hotel resumes Downtown construction

Independent hotel resumes Downtown construction

By Brittney Sherman

Hotel MOHI is a full-service luxury hotel in the heart of Downtown Morgan Hill on First Street and Monterey Road. Construction of the hotel was forced to stop during the COVID Pandemic due to tightening of lending markets. In 2022, to make the project more financially viable, the hotel was redesigned to accommodate a partial fifth floor and 13 additional rooms, for a total of 73 rooms. The MOHI hotel will include a spa, meeting facilities, and a market-hall restaurant. Hotel construction will resume shortly and is scheduled to be completed by December 2025.
