Our history

A storied setting

The Stanford Park Hotel opened its doors in 1985, when a local family made its dream – to share the charm of its community with visitors from around the world – a reality.  

For 40 years, we’ve nurtured this sense of conviviality, forming a natural gathering place at the crossroads of Silicon Valley and Stanford University.  

And while many things have changed through the years, the founding mission to bring people together in a comfortably stylish environment has been our constant.  

The building

Our classic brick and shingle buildings have seen much modernization since its debut, but we have always remained a space to be social.  

Our Menlo Park setting is perfect for getting together, and through the years, our deep-rooted connections to the university and local tech industry have seen the most lively, inspired conversations unfold.  

Our ethos

We’ll always be a family hotel at heart, and putting our guests at ease comes before everything. Settle in by the fire and let us look after you – no need to stand on ceremony or formality. Here, luxury comes naturally.
