Seamless Serenity

Nobu Hotel Palo Alto is a place of perfect balance where work and life feel equally luxurious. Our interior—created by Montalba Architects—is defined by neutral hues, natural materials, and minimalist style. Each space is designed to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor areas for guests to enjoy the city’s incredible weather. The exterior’s sleek wood façade is inspired by our Northern California home, complemented by a custom mural of El Palo Alto.

Our hotel’s design centerpiece is our garden, a lush sanctuary connected to Nobu Palo Alto that merges curated craftsmanship with traditional Japanese elements to create an unparalleled urban oasis.
