Treehouse Hotels Unveils Its First U.S. Property in California

Treehouse Silicon Valley pays homage to pre-tech Sunnyvale with a playful design that celebrates the region’s agrarian roots

Starwood Hotels has unveiled Treehouse Hotels’ inaugural U.S. location in Sunnyvale, California.

With architecture from 10 Design and interiors by CRÈME in collaboration with Starwood’s in-house team, Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley spans several repurposed existing structures and a new six-story building that was constructed off-site using modular methods to significantly reduce environmental impact and waste.

An homage to pre-tech Silicon Valley

Event space

Drawing inspiration from the fruit farms and orchards that populated Sunnyvale prior to the tech firm boom, the hotel’s 111 guestrooms feature cozy natural materials, artisan-crafted furniture, and private outdoor spaces.

Paying further homage to the city’s agricultural heritage, the property’s landscaping is lush with citrus groves, gardens, preserved oaks, and newly planted native trees.

Experiencing Treehouse Hotel Silicon Valley

Clubhouse Suite

Guests enter the property through the Arrival Pavilion, a greenhouse-like structure clad in glass. In lieu of a traditional reception desk, guests are greeted by a sun-drenched garden room with café chairs, cozy lounge seating, and a vintage Volkswagen Beetle brimming with plants.

Green-drenched corridors—rich with rope detailing, wood paneling, and a custom mural series by artist Aquarela Sabol—lead to the rooms. At each doorway, custom birdhouses mark guestroom numbers, acting as playful, treehouse-inspired wayfinding elements.

Inside the rooms, earthy tones are punctuated by cheerful colors. Hideaway nooks and lounge spaces provide a sense of coziness, which is further accentuated by wood-paneled headboards, handmade patchwork quilts, and soft rugs. Accommodations also feature crate-style coffee tables, lounge chairs in a mushroom-patterned textile, and rustic concrete sinks.

This whimsical aesthetic extends throughout Treehouse Silicon Valley’s amenities, which include a restaurant, pool, and event spaces.

Valley Goat’s main dining room

CRÈME also designed the onsite restaurant, Valley Goat from chef Stephanie Izard and Boka Restaurant Group. The restaurant plays on themes of garden sheds and open-air marketplaces, beginning with a host stand that resembles a toolshed workstation.

Inside, a fireplace lounge and stacked planter wall welcome guests to linger, while rattan and burlap pendants float above. The bar area features wood and chicken-wire glass shelving and chandeliers fashioned from vintage wheels and Edison bulbs. The main dining space, meanwhile, mixes curved and linear banquette clusters, along with mismatched wood chairs to emphasize the handcrafted aesthetic.

The open kitchen is viewable through a glass-tiled wall, while floating ceiling grids with dried florals bring nature into the volume of the space. An outdoor beer garden, anchored by a vintage beer truck and oversized lawn games, rounds out the experience.

The Sunnyvale property brings “the spirit of home and familiarity to the neighborhood,” says CRÈME principal Jun Aizaki. “The goal is for guests to experience the same feeling as when they are returning to their childhood home, with moments of nostalgia and wonder, adventure, and discovery.”
