A new standard of tailored indulgence is on offffer at Silicon Valley’s only six-star allinclusive hotel.

Business facilities The state-ofthe-art Jury Room is perfect for small meetings. Wi-fi Fast and complimentary.
Food and drink When they say all-inclusive, they mean it. All meals (such as the lamb meatballs with caramelised onions and the sesame-crusted white fish with curried coconut rice snacks), in-room dining and drinks (except for premium brands) are included. But if you’re looking to stimulate your tastebuds elsewhere, head to Tamarine (tamarinerestaurant. com) on vibrant University Avenue for a culinary journey to Vietnam.
Fitness and wellbeing The 24hour onsite gym is on the small side but it gets the job done. The rooftop pool and private cabanas are also a great option if you want to exercise or relax.
Run route For a 4.5-kilometre run, turn right onto El Camino Real then left at Palm Drive and follow it into the heart of Stanford University. Take a left at Roth Way and head up Lasuen Street. Take a left at Arboretum Road and meet Palm Drive again.
Coffee nearby Grab a brewed coffee, custom blended, at Philz Coffee (101 Forest Avenue).
