Stanford’s location adjacent Palo Alto and Menlo Park offers an abundance of lodging choices, ranging from B&Bs and motels to luxury hotels.

The Stanford lodging guide is based on proximity to the main campus and includes website links, rates, and contact information.

Other helpful lodging information is available at Destination Palo Alto.

Stanford is roughly equidistant from the San Francisco and San Jose airports.  Three major airports serve the San Francisco Bay Area:

• San Francisco International (SFO)
• San Jose Mineta International (SJC)
• Oakland International (OAK)

We suggest comparing fares to all three airports, as there can be significant differences, even for the same airline.

Although San Francisco is the largest of the three area airports and offers the most airlines and flights, some visitors find that San Jose’s smaller size makes it a somewhat more convenient alternative, especially for domestic flights.
