Rekindle the spirit of your alma mater at the smartest place to stay in Palo Alto. Nestled on University Ave in the heart of downtown, Graduate Palo Alto is steps from charming shops and restaurants, and down the street from Stanford University’s stunning campus. Originally built in 1929, we’ve completely restored the historic Hotel President to reflect and honor its Spanish-colonial roots. Our lobby, guest rooms and rooftop bar celebrate the region’s unique terrain, while antique art and furniture give all spaces an authentically NorCal feel. From hand-painted Redwood wallpaper to custom art depicting university traditions, we’ve got Stanford pride in spades. Check out our well-appointed lobby café for light bites or a quick caffeine boost, and you definitely don’t want to miss the insane views from our rooftop bar — the only place of its kind in Palo Alto. So whether you’re in town rallying for a Cardinal win, visiting campus or exploring downtown, we’re here to make your stay memorable. Our warm, friendly and whip-smart staff will guide you around Palo Alto so that you feel like a local even if it’s your first time in town.
