Luxury for less
Our daughter had to have surgery at Stanford Medicine, so we stayed at the Stanford Park Hotel for five nights in Aug '25. (We used to live in the area, but recently moved away.) The service was impeccable and the facilities top-notch. It was great to have the pool on hot days; and we loved dining/ lounging in the courtyard on a warm summer eve. I'd rank the quality with more expensive hotels in the region (Four Seasons, Rosewood); the Stanford Park is better value for money and the clientele/ staff friendlier.

Anniversary getaway
We are very happy with our stay here. The only real downside was the band at dinner where the food was excellent, but the obnoxious so-called music prevented us from staying long enough for dessert. Otherwise it's well priced and a really nice place to where we will return. The food at the tavern, by the way, was excellent. Get the corn chowder. One of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. The scallops, however, we're so few it barely kept me alive, but that's what you get with a scallops dish.

This is the loveliest small hotel. Gorgeous grounds, elevated, sophisticated and comfortable interiors and rooms. Bathrooms are very well appointed. The staff is fantastic. Walkable to Stanford Mall and downtown Palo Alto. Menlo Tavern food and bar are wonderful!

This is a superb, smallish hotel with a lovely courtyard and though located on busy El Camino, a delightful clubby ambience.
We would definitely stay there again.
