Boutique hotel with tropical gardens and koi lagoons near Stanford University

Amenities & Grounds

The hotel surrounds guests with koi-filled lagoons, waterfalls, and tropical gardens across several acres of landscaped grounds. An outdoor heated pool is open year-round and surrounded by sun loungers and pool towels. Electric vehicle charging stations and free self-parking are available on site.

Rooms & Suites

The 129 rooms and suites are inspired by global decor and include themed suites like the Railroad Baron Suite with a train-themed bed. Select rooms offer steam showers or jetted tubs, and all rooms provide refrigerators and coffee makers. Personalized welcome gifts are placed in each room upon arrival.

Dining

Two on-site restaurants serve locally sourced cuisine: Dinah's Poolside Restaurant offers made-to-order breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, with California craft beers on tap. THE SEA by Alexander's Steakhouse provides fresh and local sustainably harvested seafood. Both restaurants are open for dine-in and room service.

Pet-Friendly & Family

The hotel is pet-friendly and offers a large, secure dog run that guests describe as nicer than most dog parks. Families can request rooms with full kitchens and enjoy kids' meals at the on-site restaurants. The front desk provides food for feeding the ducks and koi in the lagoons.

Location & Business

The hotel is 4.5 miles from Stanford University and 3.5 miles from downtown Palo Alto, with easy access to the Computer History Museum and Bing Concert Hall. Business travelers have access to a business center and meeting/banquet facilities for up to 10 occasions. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out and luggage storage.
