Rosewood Sand Hill occupies a prime location in the heart of California’s techy Silicon Valley, but its 16 manicured acres and expansive views of the Santa Cruz Mountains make it feel like a plush, secluded retreat. While plenty of business meetings are conducted here, the Menlo Park hotel camouflages those deals with high-end design.
Opened in 2009, the luxury hotel offers 121 guest rooms and suites with vaulted ceilings, marble bathrooms and the type of modern amenities guests expect in this high-tech hub: bedside controls, a Phillips SoundBar on the flat-screen television, and even a walk-in closet to hang business and bathing suits alike.
The setting is within striking distance of the Facebook, Google and Apple campuses, but far enough for corporate travelers to doff their work duds and ensconce themselves in everything from a bottle of local wine to a CardioCore fitness class.
