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 among 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 in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

    Quiet. It was set back far enough from a busy street to be very quiet . Rooms had coffee and tea in k cups, including decaf options. Lovely shower with handheld spray. Small desk in the room. Comfortable bed. Great parking close to the room.

    The Cottages's remodel is excellent. It feels elevated and thoughtful. Lots of little touches that made it a wonderful stay. I'll come back, for sure.
