The Stanford Park Hotel

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?

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Favorite Hotel in Palo Alto!||||My husband and I come to Palo Alto several times a year, and Stanford Park Hotel is hands down our favorite place to stay. It strikes that rare balance of comfort, service, and atmosphere that makes each visit feel like a small getaway.||||From the moment you walk in, the reception area—with its cozy fireplace—sets the tone. It’s warm, inviting, and always makes us feel welcome. The reception staff are consistently friendly and helpful.||||The guest rooms are large, comfortable, and well-appointed. The bathrooms are particularly impressive: two sinks in separate areas (perfect for two people getting ready in the morning), plus great showers and plenty of counter space. Everything is always exceptionally clean.||||We also love the thoughtful compli

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.

Amazing! Close to the mall! Walking distance! They give you chocolate cookies in the evening and coffee in the morning. No more music in the lobby though.
