Loved by Graduate By Hilton Palo Alto Hotel guests

"The Graduate is great. Good pricing. Excellent location, very walkable with lots of nice shops and places to eat."
"Such a unique and beautiful hotel! The staff was so friendly and the rooftop bar was a gem."
Featuring bicycle rentals, as well as Wi-Fi in public areas, the 4-star Graduate By Hilton Palo Alto Hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the Professorville historic district. Boasting a location a few moments from the Farmers' Market, the hotel offers 97 rooms and a lounge bar onsite.

Leisure & Business
This hotel has a shared lounge and a golf course for guests' enjoyment.
“The university-themed design certainly sets a unique tone, and the rooftop bar promises views worth the visit. While the location is ideal for exploring Palo Alto, it's the family-friendly approach and custom artwork that create a distinct experience. From what I've gathered, this is a place that embraces its local culture.”
