Fodor's Expert Review Nobu Hotel Palo Alto

180 Hamilton Ave., Palo Alto, California, 94301, USA

When Silicon Valley tech money meets the country’s biggest celebrity sushi chef, you get this ultra-contemporary luxury hotel with, of course, a Nobu restaurant included. Japanese ryokan elements are sprinkled throughout the public spaces and guest rooms, including specific ryokan suites that include deep-soaking teak tubs. The sharp, serene room design emphasizes clean lines and beautiful furniture, rather than crowding walls and tables with art. And, it’s hard not to escape one of the biggest assets of all—that you can order Nobu's restaurant food for room service. 

PROS

  • top-quality in-house restaurant
  • beautifully designed rooms
  • some rooms have balconies facing the Santa Cruz Mountains

CONS

  • relatively small rooms
  • feels more like Vegas than Palo Alto
  • comparatively limited amenities
