Graduate Hotels® is excited to announce today the opening of Graduate Palo Alto. The property is located in the heart of downtown Palo Alto at 488 University Avenue, nestled blocks from Stanford University and within the iconic former Hotel President. The storied property has been thoughtfully renovated and restored to honor the building s past, as well as the history of the neighboring community. The six story Graduate Palo Alto features 100 keys and two signature food and beverage concepts - Lou & Herbert s, a lobby level, day-to-night café, and President s Terrace, a vibrant rooftop bar with unrivaled Palo Alto views. Design throughout the hotel embodies the personality and age-old tales of the community through bold, layered décor rooted in storytelling. Graduate Palo Alto is the 33rd hotel in the Graduate Hotels portfolio.
As the end of 2022 nears, the local dining scene is in a state of flux. Two eateries have recently closed, a popular East Bay bagel shop has opened, a Stanford spot has returned and a new hotel announced its restaurants.
