Visitors to Silicon Valley will find an elegant new dining option at the luxurious Rosewood Sand Hill that further cements its status as a favourite with tastemakers
When you’re looking for luxury accommodation or a lavish table in California’s Silicon Valley or Menlo Park, it doesn’t take long for the name Rosewood Sand Hill to crop up. It has rightly been a favourite with tastemakers and entrepreneurs since its opening in 2009, thanks to its resort-style amenities, Michelin-starred restaurants and luxe leisure activities brought together in a group of lovely ranch-style buildings set among fragrant gardens with the rolling Santa Cruz Mountains as a backdrop.
Part of the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts portfolio under Rosewood Hotel Group, of which 500 Lister Sonia Cheng is CEO, the property has just added an exciting new venue to its collection of fine-dining options and elegant spots for catch-ups, business meetings and after-work drinks. The Library & Bar is the perfect spot for light bites, wine and seasonal cocktails indoors or on the terrace.

The Bar provides lounge seating outside on a terrace overlooking the pool, gardens and mountains. Log-burning fireplaces ensure the terrace can be enjoyed all year round. Indoors, the Library has a cosy-yet-sophisticated living-room vibe, with floor-to-ceiling windows, book-filled shelves and a collection of carefully selected artworks.
