MENLO PARK, CA—The Bohannon Development Company has chosen Ensemble Hotel Partners to develop a new luxury hotel planned for the Menlo Gateway site. Ensemble Hotel Partners is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ensemble Investments, a privately-held firm specializing in commercial real estate investment, development, and management.

“We are delighted to partner with Bohannon Development Company in the Menlo Gateway project,” said Brian Ehrlich, chief investment officer for Ensemble Hotel Partners. “Each of our projects is designed specifically for the community where it's located. We will be working very closely with the Bohannon team to develop a hotel with the creativity and high quality that will help establish Menlo Park as the gateway to Silicon Valley.”

The new hotel will be a unique, upscale, independent hotel designed to reflect the personality of Menlo Park. It will be part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, an ensemble of independent hotels of high quality design, bold originality, rich character and uncommon details. Designed by Cuningham Group Architecture, the hotel will feature 250 rooms, a chef-driven specialty restaurant, lobby and poolside lounges, an oversized fitness center, and more than 15,000 square feet of highly configurable meeting and event space. Unique among hotels on the Peninsula will be the hotel's outdoor event area, which has been carefully designed for wedding, reunion, business, and other social events.
