Ensemble, a national developer and operator of hospitality and mixed-use properties, has assumed management of Hotel Nia, Autograph Collection, in Menlo Park, CA. The company developed the hotel, which opened in 2018 as part of the Menlo Gateway mixed-use project.
The transition of Hotel Nia reflects Ensemble’s broader strategy to bring more of its hospitality assets under direct management, particularly as it continues to expand its luxury hotel portfolio in Northern California, according to the company.
Located in Silicon Valley, the hotel features 250 guestrooms, more than 21,000 sq. ft. of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, a full-service restaurant, an outdoor pool and entertainment deck and a signature open-air courtyard.
“Having developed Hotel Nia and watched it establish itself in the market, we see a clear opportunity to bring management in-house,” said Michael Moskowitz, CEO/cofounder, Ensemble. “This is a standout property in Silicon Valley—thoughtfully designed, highly amenitized and perfectly positioned to serve both business and leisure travelers. We look forward to building on its strong foundation and enhancing the guest experience through our operational expertise.”
Located minutes from major technology campuses, including the nearby Meta headquarters, the property was purpose-built to meet the needs of Silicon Valley’s evolving business community. The hotel’s modern design and “edited-for-clarity” aesthetic reflect the region’s ethos—where innovation, simplicity and sophistication intersect, according to Ensemble.
“Hotel Nia has long been recognized as one of the premier lifestyle hotels in the region,” said Kristi Allen, EVP, hotels, Ensemble. “By bringing management in-house, we have the opportunity to further elevate service, strengthen programming and align the property even more closely with Ensemble’s vision for thoughtful, guest-centric hospitality.”
The move also aligns with Ensemble’s growing presence in Northern California, where the company owns and operates a collection of luxury and resort properties including La Bahia Hotel & Spa, Bernardus Lodge & Spa, Dream Inn Santa Cruz and Vinarosa Resort & Spa.
Ensemble currently manages 15 hotels across 12 markets in five states, generating more than $250 million in annual revenue. The portfolio includes more than 130,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space and is supported by a team of more than 1,400 employees nationwide.
