Silicon Valley travelers find a peaceful retreat where they can enjoy gourmet dining at The Red Sage restaurant or spend afternoons lounging by the pool
The Elegant Lodge in Menlo Park provides a quiet sanctuary from tech industry bustle. Guests relax in the lush garden setting, unwind with drinks at the welcoming bar, or cool off in the outdoor pool. The Red Sage restaurant serves local specialties for all three daily meals.
