Hotel Information: On busy El Camino Real, the lushly landscaped Creekside Inn manages to stay removed from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley. Nine buildings are spread out over 3.5 acres dotted with oak and eucalyptus trees, two bridges, and meandering Matadero Creek. The hotel offers easy access to Stanford Business Park and other big tech centers, as well as a place to get away from it all at the end of the workday.
Amenity highlights: Complimentary Town Car transportation is provided within five miles of the hotel from 7 AM to 9 PM (hours subject to change). Also complimentary are Sunday–Thursday evening wine and wireless Internet access throughout the hotel.
Cibo Bar & Grill serves Californian and Mediterranean fusion cuisine. Snacks and beverages can be purchased at an on-site convenience store. An outdoor pool is set amid lush gardens.
Insider tip: One of the Peninsula's best views can be found atop Stanford University’s Hoover Tower. Other Stanford gems include the ornate Memorial Church and the acoustically marvelous Campbell Recital Hall, which often features live performances. Stanford University is 1.5 miles from the hotel.
