Breathe new life into a tired venue to create a signature event space in Menlo Park.

The Woodside Room, a signature event venue space inside the Stanford Park Hotel, was in need of a significant renovation to appeal to both weddings and corporate events. We developed an interior concept using a palette of tweeds and plaids, warm grays, polished nickel and richly stained woods. This simple and elegant backdrop now sets the perfect stage for a variety of hosted events.

A new partition wall was built at the far end of the space with a custom-designed paneling system to house a large monitor, which can be hidden when not in use. The wall hides the main entry and exit points for staff, creating a grand focal point within the room.


A sophisticated built-in buffet area reduces the need to bring in outside furniture for serving and adds much needed storage space. The ceiling was outfitted with rich taupe painted trim to use the unique angles as a design feature within the room.
Leather-wrapped chrome sconces over a textural tweed wall covering set a dramatic and sophisticated tone at the entry of the space.
