The Stanford Park Hotel

The heating worked perfectly, and the room was spacious and comfortable. I loved the bathroom—with two sinks—and really appreciated having both a couch and a desk to work and dine in the room. The hotel restaurant was great as well. The complimentary treats in the lobby were an especially nice touch. Overall, a very pleasant stay. I’d definitely come back. One thing I would have loved is a more casual, affordable dining option in addition to the fine-dining restaurant.

My partner and I stayed at the SPH for the first time last weekend (Nov. 22, 2025). We were immensely impressed with the spacious lobby, Stanford-supportive atmosphere, and comfortable room. We must single out for mention the front-desk staff member Ahmet, who displayed true hospitality throughout our stay. Plus, he was admirably effective in helping us secure future bookings. Great place, great people, and hey--we went back the very next weekend!

We organized an event for ~80 out-of-town guests at The Stanford Park Hotel a few weeks ago. We hosted a spectacular meal on Friday night in their beautiful Woodside room, and we hosted a delicious brunch in the cozy Stanford room where we took advantage of the adjoining outdoor patio on that beautiful morning. The food (both taste and presentation) and the service at both events were outstanding. I’ve hosted many events through the years — and this hotel is by far the easiest to work regarding event planning and reserving hotel rooms for guests. The staff is very responsive and eager to help. They make things easy and they don’t nickel and dime you on every request. The team went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and also during the weekend of the events. They made us feel like royalty and we couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of this venue. We highly recommend it to anyone planning a social or business event in the Bay Area! Oh- and it’s not just the event team that hit it out of the park — the servers and bartenders at their restaurants have so much personality and make the entire experience special for everyone. Our guests enjoyed the hotel so much that most of them never ventured out to other restaurants but instead took advantage of the outdoor dining option, the bar dining option, and the indoor restaurant. Each space is beautiful, comfortable, and unique and provides a wonderful experience. We are locals and dine at these places more often than anywhere else in the Bay Area. Their menu offers something for everyone (and also changes periodically so it’s nice to try new offerings in addition to our old favorites). If you are looking for a dining experience — or a hotel for a staycation or vacation — look no further! The rooms are comfortable, luxurious, and they are far from the boring chain-hotel experience.

We felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The staff here is genuinely kind and made sure we were always taken care of. Special thank you to Ahmed, who upgraded our room free of charge and made my 2 yr old daughter's day when he gifted her a teddy bear Highly recommend this hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

I just wrapped up a 17-night stay at the Stanford Park Hotel, which has truly become my home away from home over the last three years. I used to stay at the Four Seasons Palo Alto, but found it a bit too corporate, or the Mandarin Oriental in SF, but the traffic eventually became a dealbreaker. It’s the total package: the location is unbeatable, the rooms are classically decorated, and the property itself feels like a sanctuary with its lush gardens and "hideaway" pool. That atmosphere is only made better by the people—Crystal in management, Ahmed, CC and others at the front desk, and the lively restaurant, housekeeping and bell service e teams. They don't just provide a service; they make you feel truly welcome. What more could you ask for?

Our Event Team has had the pleasure of hosting our high-level executive attendees at the Stanford Park Hotel on several occasions, and each experience has been excellent. The property has an elegant, warm feel, with exceptional customer service, great food and restaurant ambience, lovely and comfortable interior decor, beautiful grounds, and well-appointed, comfortable rooms. Our guest and I always enjoy our stay. The hotel's meeting space, though I have not had the opportunity to use it, is very nice and can accommodate groups of different sizes for any occasion, showcasing the hotel's versatility. I am excited for my next visit in Spring 2026 and the opportunity to work with Lauren Embry, Senior Events Services Manager, and all the kind and helpful hotel staff. If you like 5-Star properties and amazing service, I highly recommend the Stanford Park Hotel for pleasure, business, and events.

Very glad I made the choice to stay at the Stanford Park Hotel as it is the highest caliber of comfort. I have to give a shout out to Ahmet at the front desk because he made sure my stay was top quality, he is the role model of hospitality. Made sure to answer all of my sightseeing questions around the Stanford area and gave me a wide range of recommendations that made my stay better. Very kind and friendly he made sure my needs were met. Rooms and service is high in quality and location wise it’s great as it sits in the middle of San Francisco and San Jose. Highly recommend if you are planning a business trip or traveling around.

I booked 10 people here recently for company travel. Every single guest had positive reviews of the property, staff, cleanliness and location. Working with their team to coordinate everything was great - they are patient, responsive and flexible. Will most definitely book this property again next time we are in the area!
