Open 24 hours a day, the state-of-the-art
fitness center features a wide variety of cardio and resistance machines, free weights, and a stretching room. The majority of the fitness equipment has built-in televisions. The fitness room has vaulted ceilings and period photography of Stanford University athletic programs dating from the turn of the twentieth century. A sauna is also on site.
The "borrow-a-bicycle" program allows guests to explore the local area in style on high-quality retro style bikes. The men's and women's styled bicycles are equipped with multiple speeds, basket, bell, and cargo carrier. The bikes are named after some notable alumni from Stanford University, including Condoleezza Rice, Sally Ride, Jim Plunkett, and Herbert Hoover.
The swimming pool and adjacent spa tub is heated year round, and is open from 7 AM to 10 PM daily. Set in a serene garden with lounge chairs and fountains, guests come here to start and end their day with tranquility. The dry sauna is adjacent to the pool area.
The hotel's location offers runners easy access to wonderful sites and trails, which are well suited for a quick jog or a more extensive run. One favorite option is the Stanford Dish loop, which is a challenging workout with hills and excellent views of the Stanford campus, Palo Alto, and the San Francisco Bay.
