The 16-acre grande dame of Menlo Park introduces Bryte Sleep Suites, touting the Bryte Restorative Bed—so loaded with AI technology it adapts to the contours of a guest’s body, remembers their ideal mattress temperature and understands how to maintain a great snooze all night through biometric sensors. After a restful night, go for a swim and check out the poolside California Wellness dining menu curated by culinary director Seamus Mullen.
Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto
Nestled in East Palo Alto, the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley is a delightful stay. Luxury suites come complete with a dressing area and dramatic marble bathrooms with extra-large showers. Work up a sweat at the 24-hour Harley Pasternak-designed fitness center, then head to the spa for a massage and revitalizing session in the Himalayan salt sauna. Finish off the day with a delicious meal at signature restaurant Quattro overlooking the outdoor garden.
This modern boutique hotel in downtown Palo Alto stuns with Spanish-style architecture and contemporary accents, including elegant marble bathrooms that grace the 62 guest rooms and suites. Breakfast service from Coffeebar is a great way to start the day, while authentic Italian cuisine at Il Fornaio will transport you to the old country.
Sitting over 10 lush acres in Mountain View, the Ameswell Hotel is beloved for its many unique amenities. Purchase the luxury car rental package for a drive some of the most sought-after electric vehicles, or follow along with the virtual tour of the property’s extensive art collection with the Ameswell Art Compendium. A sparkling pool, sumptuous spa and well-appointed fitness center round out the offerings.
Located just steps from Stanford University, the Stanford Park Hotel is both luxurious and convenient. Book the Stanford Suite for a plush king bed with living and dining areas, a walk-in closet and a well-stocked wet bar. The heated 50-foot swimming pool and hot tub are open year-round, while the Californian cuisine at Menlo Tavern celebrates the beloved history of collegiate eating clubs.
We love the premium suites on Signia’s 20th floor, boasting tall ceilings, multiple seating areas, deep soaking tubs and oversize windows with incredible views of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Nosh on Japanese-Peruvian fusion at AJI Bar & Robata or sup on American steakhouse classics at The Grill on the Alley, then work it off at the property’s incredible 4,000-square-foot fitness center.
The Park James in Menlo Park might be best known for its high-tech amenities, including personal light and temperature adjustments from in-room tablets and so much more. Decor honors the hotel’s Irish roots. Nosh on California cuisine at Oak & Violet before retreating to the property’s spacious outdoor patio for delectable craft cocktails and tapas.
The Clement Palo Alto is unlike any other in the region. It’s an all-inclusive property, making it the sought-after location for high-level executives and travelers seeking indulgent quality. Guest meals are prepared in an open kitchen by on-site personal chefs. Menus follow the seasons, ensuring the upscale and exceptional quality of the cuisine. The residential feel of this boutique hotel combines both comfort and luxury.
The Graduate Hotel brings the town a hip and luxuriously vintage vibe. The hotel’s rooms offer tributes to notable Stanford alumnae, including Sigourney Weaver, John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. While its customer service is outstanding, the hotel makes for a comfortable environment by not taking itself too seriously. Of particular note is the rooftop: Presidents Terrace restaurant-bar with a view instantly became a popular spot for locals to enjoy happy hour.
NOBU Hotel Palo Alto, located downtown, merges Japanese design and California coastal luxury living. The 73-room boutique hotel sits close to downtown cafes, boutique shopping and international fare. And be sure to dine at the hotel’s eponymous restaurant for some of the most innovative and exquisite Japanese delights.
