Nobu Hospitality, the globally established lifestyle brand founded by Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, is delighted to announce the debut of Nobu Hotel Palo Alto. The 73- room boutique hotel in the heart of Silicon Valley has undergone an extensive multi-million dollar renovation to unveil a completely brand-new hotel. The exciting transformation elevated the world-renowned Nobu hospitality, Palo Alto-style, with an impressive new facade, intimate arrival experience and lobby, new Nobu dining spaces, redesigned guest rooms, and the exclusive Nobu Ryokan guest experience.
Led by the award-winning, Los Angeles based architecture firm, Montalba Architects, and construction management firm Shawmut Design and Construction, Nobu Hotel Palo Alto draws inspiration from its sister property, the renowned Nobu Ryokan Malibu, and features the newly introduced Ryokan-inspired guest rooms, suites and meeting spaces on the 7th and 8th floors. The Ryokan experience offers serene views of the Santa Cruz Mountains while ensuring privacy, exclusivity, and impeccable service for the discerning guest.
Ryokan accommodations include five stunning suites designed in light, soothing tones of natural materials, with white oak paneling, teak accents, and natural crema marfil marble stone, all lending a peaceful Japanese- Californian aesthetic throughout. Serving leisure and business travelers, the rooms include luxurious furnishings with custom handcrafted Japanese bedside lanterns, and subtly integrated technology, like butler service control keypads, allowing for attentive service and high touchpoint amenities that transcend the traditions and boundaries of hospitality.
The 8th floor holds the three Ryokan meeting spaces designed with warm wood paneling, integrated sideboards and 90" TVs with built-in power and HDMI capability that surround the live edge conference tables. The floor-to- ceiling sliding glass doors access large teak-decked landscaped patios with comfortable furnishings and integrated heaters, ideal for small gatherings. Secured elevator key access, 24-hour butler service, priority seating in Nobu restaurant, and executive turn-down service are feature amenities to the Ryokan experience, though slightly altered to ensure the health and safety of all guests and employees during the current travel climate.
