Since opening its doors in 1985, The Stanford Park has provided a sense of place and community for travelers and locals alike
california roots
Almost 40 years ago, two local families came together with a shared vision of creating an authentic retreat to share their beloved slice of Northern California with visitors from around the world. In 1983, the families broke ground on the hotel site. In 1985 they opened their doors for the first time and have been welcoming guests ever since.
home away from home
While the hotel and its surrounding neighborhood have modernized over the years, the hotel remains true to its founding vision. The hotel’s charming, well-manicured grounds, classic brick and shingle design and distinctive Maybeck Morgan architecture provides a familiar haven for locals and loyal travelers who return year after year.
style and service
The hotel’s legacy continues to be cultivated under second generation family ownership and management. The genuine care of the family owners and hotel team is reflected in the hotel’s consistent rating as the top hotel on TripAdvisor.
an outdoor oasis
Guests love to escape to this tranquil setting after a long day of work, travel, or play. Patio tables with free-standing umbrellas shade guests during the day. In the lower level, cozy wicker style furniture is arranged around warm fire pits. Evening events are made magical with thousands of sparkling lights twining through the trees, bubbling fountains, and the glow of candlelight.
take a dip or make a splash
The garden pool area provides one of the nicest retreats on the entire San Francisco Peninsula, and is an ideal place to relax and unwind during your stay. Enjoy our heated, 50-foot swimming pool and whirlpool spa year-round.
