Meet the newest disruptor in the heart of tech country: a wildly imaginative retreat where nature meets nostalgia.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 13, 2025 — 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 hospitality innovator 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 UK act 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’s innovation capital. A joyful counterpoint to the usual hotel experience, this property celebrates the perfectly imperfect ethos with a design that invites curiosity, happenings that spark delight, and a philosophy rooted in good times.
“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,” says Barry Sternlicht. “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.”
In a destination known for shaping the future, Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley dares to do something different: slow things down, make things personal, and put joy at the center of the experience. And 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. Think richly layered textures, cheeky vintage finds, and handcrafted objects with a story. And for travelers who are here to do business, Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley flips the script and reimagines what a business hotel can be. It’s where brainstorms happen around fire pits and good ideas flow as easily as good wine.
“Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley isn’t about buttoned-up boardrooms—it’s about unbuttoned ideas,” says Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels. “We designed this place for connection, creativity, and a better way to do business. It’s a stay that works, in every sense.”
