SUNNYVALE, California — Treehouse Hotels has officially landed Stateside with its first U.S. outpost: Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley, a happiness-inducing hotel that’s part of the playful lifestyle brand created by Barry Sternlicht, founder and chairman of Starwood Hotels. Treehouse Hotels first took root in 2019 with a celebrated location in London’s Marylebone neighborhood and is continuing to grow with a much-anticipated second U.K. hotel that just opened in Manchester and even more global locations on the horizon.
Now open in Sunnyvale, California, the new Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley brings Treehouse Hotel’s trademark blend of whimsy and warmth to America. This property celebrates the perfectly imperfect ethos with a design that invites curiosity, happenings that spark delight, and a philosophy rooted in good times.
The hotel is debuting with 111 guest rooms and suites, with names like Perch King and Clubhouse Suite. The design leans into eclectic energy, mixing natural materials and artisan pieces with creature comforts that embrace individuality at every turn, with some rooms boasting patios, while others come with built-in reading nooks and soaking tubs.
Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley is also a hub for gatherings. The hotel’s 7,750 square feet of event space includes flexible boardrooms and venues such as a barn, an outdoor terrace and a large lawn.
“Treehouse Hotels bring together all the things we crave but rarely make space for — nature, spontaneity, fun and games, and a little bit of nonsense,” Sternlicht said. “Silicon Valley didn’t need another sleek hotel. It needed something human. So, we built a one-of-a-kind hideaway that invites you to climb up, branch out and live more freely. It’s a place you’ve never been but have always belonged.”
While most properties in Silicon Valley lean minimalist, Treehouse Hotel takes a bolder approach with maximal comfort, loads of sensory delights and “carefreedom.” The result is a refreshingly analog oasis that still knows how to plug in. Set on a reimagined orchard once lined with grapevines and fruit trees, Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley is a lush, living love letter to California’s agricultural roots, dotted with citrus groves, gardens, preserved oaks and newly planted native trees.
Meanwhile, the design is anything but typical, with richly layered textures, cheeky vintage finds and handcrafted objects with a story. For business travelers, Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley is where brainstorms happen around fire pits, and good ideas flow as easily as good wine.
The moment guests arrive — past a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle in the reception area — they enter an offbeat world. Guests will find a hand-painted mural winding through public spaces; records stacked behind the DJ booth; and salvaged wood that has become sculptural furniture.
At the heart of Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley is Valley Goat, a new destination restaurant from James Beard Award–winning chef Stephanie Izard, whose restaurants Girl & the Goat and Cabra helped put her on the foodie map.
Guests can also fuel up at the Backyard Café with Bluestone Lane coffee, breakfast and light bites. At the seasonal Beer Garden, there are 32 rotating taps of local brews alongside biodynamic wines, plus lawn games and live music. Guests can also order straight to their room (or pool lounger) from the all-day, in-room takeout menu.
Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley offers playful, unpredictable and delightfully analog experiences. Guests might stumble on a book swap house or Wonky Ones Market, with a rotating selection of quick, healthy snacks. There’s a rotating calendar of events, from backyard brunch parties to guest DJ sets and hands-on workshops, like pottery making or terrarium planting. Guests can hop on the hotel’s complimentary bikes to explore nearby Baylands Park. Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley also offers in-room craft kits, curated playlists and vinyl record players available on request.
Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley was designed with upcycling, biodiversity and low-impact living at its core. Half the property’s irrigation uses recycled water, and all irrigation uses moisture meters and weather sensors to reduce waste. Showers and faucets are equipped with low-flow fixtures. Guest corridors are stocked with water refill stations to reduce plastic waste, and single-use items are nowhere to be found. Kitchens and bars adhere to zero-waste principles, with composting programs and ingredient sourcing from local partners. Any surplus food gets rerouted to local nonprofits.
Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley is now open. For more information or to book a stay, visit treehousehotels.com/silicon-valley.
