Where to Stay When Visiting Ross Stores (Dublin)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Ross Stores's headquarters is in Dublin. Book near the campus — and fly the right airport. In the Bay Area, that second choice is where trips go wrong.

Direct answer: Visiting Ross Stores's Dublin HQ (5130 Hacienda Dr): stay in the the Pleasanton / Dublin area near the campus. Stay in the Pleasanton / Dublin area near Ross Stores — the hotels here sit minutes from the campus, several within walking distance of Stoneridge Mall and West Dublin BART. The rest of the Bay Area is 30-plus minutes over the hills; this is its own base. Oakland International (OAK) is about 30 minutes northwest and San José Mineta (SJC) about 35 minutes south — pick by your connection. San Francisco (SFO) is farther, around 45 minutes, and rarely worth it here.

Ross Stores is the off-price retailer behind Ross Dress for Less, headquartered at 5130 Hacienda Dr, Dublin, CA 94568. That's the Tri-Valley — Pleasanton and Dublin, east of the hills off I-580/I-680 — a suburban corporate cluster around Stoneridge Mall and Hacienda Business Park, with hotels a few minutes from the campuses and BART.
