New 4-Story Hotel Coming To Morongo Casino Resort & Spa

BANNING, CA — A new four-story, 200-room hotel is coming to Morongo Casino Resort & Spa.

The Morongo Band of Mission Indians, in partnership with Marnell Hospitality and Tharaldson Hospitality, recently celebrated the hotel's construction groundbreaking. Once built, the dual-branded Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites will rise on the Morongo Indian Reservation alongside the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa.

"We’re beyond excited to be partnering with the Morongo Band of Mission Indians as one of the recognized leaders in tribal gaming and hospitality," said Greg Wells Manager of Marnell Hospitality. "This new location will enhance the world-class amenities already offered by Morongo, while also providing new accommodations for travelers to the region."

Scheduled to open in early 2026, the hotel — which is a 50-50 joint venture between Marnell and Tharaldson — is expected to bring dozens of permanent new jobs and new economic opportunities to the San Gorgonio Pass, officials said.

The hotel will encircle a pool and spa. Accommodations will include studio suites, guest rooms, a bar/lounge, dining, fitness center, two large meeting/conference rooms and lobby and lounge areas.

According to officials, the new hotel evolved from a shared vision of the Morongo Tribal Council and the Morongo Economic Development and Planning Committee to advance the Tribe’s retail and tourism offerings along the Interstate 10 corridor.

"Working together, the Morongo Tribal Council and the Morongo Economic Development and Planning Committee successfully moved this innovative project from concept to reality and identified the perfect partners in Marnell Hospitality and Tharaldson Hospitality,” said Morongo Tribal Council Vice Chair James Siva, who also chairs the Economic Development and Planning Committee.
