Overview

You can enjoy a richly historic luxury hotel that is just steps away from Union Square, the Financial District and Chinatown. Opulence abounds here, with its interior courtyard, glass-domed fountain, and fine antique furnishings. Rooms are equally luxurious and many afford spectacular views of the City. Conveniently located next to the cable car lines, hop aboard and navigate the streets like the locals. Enjoy world class cuisine at the hotel's restaurant, Fournou's Oven. The Stanford Court Hotel is built on the former site of Leland Stanford's mansion, which was destroyed in the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906. The present building was erected six years later. Stanford was a railroad tycoon and founded Stanford University.
