Uncomplicated Splendor

“Sand Hill” evokes images of serene, elevated landscapes. The name blends a sense of tranquility with sophistication, making it appealing to guests seeking a refined yet relaxing retreat.

The Need

Stanford University was opening a luxury hotel run by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, thereby carrying the Rosewood name. The question then became, what would follow?

Rosewood Sand Hill was slated to be one of the finest hotels near Stanford University. Situated on 16 acres of gardens and courtyards at the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, guests would be within easy reach of a diverse and rich choice of arts, entertainment and experiences, but the truly extraordinary element of the hotel would be how perfectly it embodied and highlighted the natural beauty of its surroundings.

The Name

The authenticity of “Sand Hill,” given the construction site and surroundings, as well as the name’s simplicity and understated elegance, is what made it the final winner.

The Result

Rosewood Sand Hill is a 5-star luxury resort in Palo Alto, and continues to be a destination of choice for those in the area on business or leisure.
