Jesuit Retreat Center of Los Altos — Local services in Los Altos

I worked closely with the retreat staff to plan a 4-day retreat with about 50 people. I was very impressed with the friendliness, flexibility, and graciousness of their staff. The location is gorgeous---it feels like you have stepped into the mountains, with wandering trails, plenty of trees, and even a small herd of deer wandering the grounds. The breakfasts, lunches, and dinners provided in the cafeteria were all superb. And the cost of the event was extremely affordable---probably half or a third of the cost of a typically hotel conference center.

Just be aware that the guest rooms are not your typical hotel room. They do not come with a TV, mini-fridge, hair dryer, etc. Each guest room has a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a closet, a desk, a bed, and a chair or two. I actually really liked the simplicity, but some people may be caught off guard if they're expecting something more extravagant.

Also be aware that there is limited parking. If you are hosting a big event where everyone is driving in locally, you may run out of parking.

The Jesuit Retreat Center was perfect for our event needs. We will...

The Jesuit Retreat Center has been established in Los Altos, Ca for over a 100 years or more. I highly recommend visiting this sacred monastery to find inner peace, happiness...

This is a wonderful place for retreats and conferences. Since I was here on a retreat, I will focus on the spiritual aspect of the place. The Jesuits here are wonderful spiritual directors and retreat leaders. They will meet you where you are at, and walk the journey of faith with you. The chapel is a prayerful space with gorgeous stained glass windows that shine brilliantly most of the day.

As for the rest of the space, a lovely hilltop setting with expansive views of Silicon Valley. There are 2-3 miles worth of trails, with benches scattered all around, on the property where you can enjoy walks in contemplative silence. The dining room also has magnificent views overlooking the valley. The food is delicious and healthy. There is also a nice bookstore with a wide ranging selection on the topics of faith and spirituality. The rooms are single occupancy with attached bathroom. All in all, a gem in...
