The Rosewood Sand Hill hotel, owned by Stanford and built on 16 acres of university land in Menlo Park, features 123 rooms, suites and villas and has facilities for weddings, social events and business functions.
Its rooms, suites and villas—featuring original art, marble baths and state-of-the-art technology—will soon be ready for guests. So will Madera, whose dessert menu includes s'mores with Scharffen Berger chocolate and oak-roasted marshmallows. Its spa also has prepared a menu—of body treatments—that includes "Sea Clarity" with seaweed.
The Rosewood Sand Hill, a luxury hotel and spa owned by Stanford and situated on 16 acres of university land in Menlo Park, will celebrate its grand opening April 2.
The complex will be managed and operated by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, which is based in Dallas and runs hotels and resorts around the world, from Antigua to Saudi Arabia.
Rosewood operates two resorts in California—CordeValle in San Martin and San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara—as well as hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Santa Fe and New York.
Rosewood Sand Hill, which includes a ballroom, boardrooms and meeting rooms, is also designed to host weddings and social and business events.
As part of its opening celebration, the hotel will donate 5 percent of the room revenue for certain rooms in April to two nonprofits: Canopy, a Palo Alto group that plants, protects and promotes city trees, and Trees for Menlo, whose goal is to turn the stretch of El Camino Real running through Menlo Park into a tree-shaded boulevard.
Rosewood Sand Hill has 123 rooms, suites and villas. Its 91 rooms range in price from $200 to $495 a night; its 30 suites range from $395 to $950. Its one-bedroom villa costs $1,500 to $2,500 a night. And its presidential villa—two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, pantry, private terraces, a grand room with a slate fireplace, and wall-to-ceiling windows with sweeping views of the Santa Cruz Mountains—costs $2,500 to $3,500 a night.
