About this property
Welcome to The Cottages Hotel Welcome to The Cottages, a serene yet lively boutique lodging experience in the heart of Menlo Park. Bordered by a magnificent redwood grove, this quaint paradise is just steps away from the lively energy of local shops and restaurants, providing both an avenue to lively experiences and a nourishing retreat amongst serene landscape centuries in the making. Guests have the opportunity to indulge in a one-of-a-kind retreat stationed under a 300- year-old California Oak, which provides shade during the day, a softly lit ambiance in the evenings, and a guest experience that can only be described as “must be experienced”. This property features 28 bright, airy, and exquisitely designed guestrooms in perfect tune with the breathtaking landscape that surrounds them. Amenities include a warm and welcoming lobby, outdoor firepits, a seasonally heated pool, and service to match the rejuvenating essence that the design and local flora provide.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
