Outdoors-focused hospitality brand Trailborn Hotels & Resorts is preparing to open its first West Coast property this summer, with bookings officially available at Hill House at Trailborn Mendocino. The hotel’s upcoming debut marks Trailborn’s expansion to the West Coast and the next chapter in the brand’s growing national portfolio.
Hill House at Trailborn Mendocino is a 44-room retreat in a historic property perched above Mendocino Village with sweeping views of the Pacific and surrounding bluffs, serving as a serene base for exploring Mendocino. By thoughtfully restoring the former Hill House Inn, Trailborn has preserved the name and spirit of a beloved local landmark while introducing a revitalized accommodation to frequent travelers and attracting new visitors to the region.
Onsite amenities include Hill House Wine & Grocer, walking paths and picnic areas, a food and beverage concept and curated excursions that range from sea cave kayaking, winery tours, horseback riding, yoga, forest bathing and a sound and movement studio.
“We’re excited to bring new life to these historic properties and to be part of the Mendocino community,” Mike Weiss, co-founder and co-CEO of Trailborn Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. “This stretch of coastline is incredibly special, and Hill House has long been part of that story. Our approach is centered on preserving what makes this place meaningful, celebrating its history, honoring the landscape and creating experiences that feel true to Mendocino.”
The Mendocino Hotel at Trailborn Mendocino will open in early 2027, completing the Trailborn Mendocino campus with 20 additional rooms and 25 Garden Suites. The property will introduce Moonwave, a New American restaurant, alongside a restored historic lobby bar, market, parlor and library.
