Grand Bay Hotel San Francisco  

Tucked into an office complex in Redwood City, less than half a mile from Redwood Shores Lagoon and park. Notre Dame de Namur University is about two miles away, Bird Island sits within three miles, and Hillsdale Shopping Centre is under a 4-mile drive.

The lobby channels retro flair with light green, 1950s blue and cream tones, sheer drapes and a linear crystal chandelier. The hotel has 421 soundproofed rooms with blackout drapes, bay windows that frame views of the lagoon, hills or business park, flat-panel TVs and complimentary toiletries, bottled water and newspapers.

Seasonal outdoor pool with cushioned lounge chairs and lagoon-facing pool deck. A well-equipped fitness center overlooks the water. Onsite perks include an espresso bar, market café and a lobby bar for drinks and light fare — plus a gift shop stocked with local food items and reading material.

Wireless internet access throughout the property and an internet bar in the lobby keep you connected.

An on-site restaurant serves Bay Area French–inspired cuisine indoors or on an outdoor terrace. The lobby bar offers signature drinks and light bites, while the market café handles quick sandwiches and pastries.
