Experience luxury at its finest at this chic East Palo Alto hotel, featuring sleek rooms with stunning views, a rooftop pool, and exceptional Italian dining.
"Stepping into the dark lobby of warm Douglas fir and African Mekore cherry wood feels like visiting Mother Nature at her Manhattan address. It takes a few passes past fresh orchids and primitive woven baskets to pick up on the subtle nature theme, but once you do, you'll find it everywhere: from moss colored carpets to the barely perceptible leaf prints on the light fixtures in the hallways. The low-slung buff-colored rooftop lap pool deck feels like a desert oasis, with sand colored chaises, billowing cabanas and the narrowest sliver of a green-tinged lap pool. Downstairs, at night, the lounge is moody, dark and cavelike, with rough hewn limestone walls, and waiters shaking bracing martinis right at your roomy table or in front of the fireplace. The bar funnels into Quattro, the only restaurant, where dinner goes Vegas, with creative lighting highlighting swank wine bottle room dividers and dramatic 3-D white plaster sculptures of ordinary people that balance the soaring two story window walls. Guest rooms are designed to appeal to your industrious nature: more stay busy than get busy. A narrow laminated wood desk, full wall workspace, discreet data port panels and large flat screen TV dominate, as though the company conference room was hastily converted to sleeping quarters by adding an Italian-linen draped bed. Heavy boardroom doors shrink already small marble bathrooms furnished with Acca Kappa White Moss soaps and shampoo. If you stay, book an odd numbered room that faces in; exterior rooms, while triple-glassed, still overlook Highway 101, which is always busy."
"The Four Seasons in Silicon Valley is still open, however, and they’ve become a holiday destination for the Peninsula, offering a traditional set menu and dessert buffet." - Becky Duffett
"Silicon Valley’s Four Seasons Hotel, and all of its restaurants, are closed to the public this week to welcome a VIP guest. That guest, according to Recode, is rumored to be Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and his expansive entourage, who have come to town to meet with tech leaders like Apple’s Tim Cook, and CEOs at Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, and Uber. Reservations at the hotel’s dining outlets, Quattro and [ESC], the lobby bar and lounge that underwent a renovation exactly one year ago, are unavailable until Sunday, April 8. Guests who’d previously reserved rooms during the days of Monday, April 2 through Saturday, April 7, have been shuffled off to other luxurious hotels in the area at the request of the U.S. Department of State." - Ellen Fort
