Our Presidential Past, On New Terms

Built in 1929, the iconic Hotel President was named to honor then-president Herbert Hoover, one of the first students to enroll at Stanford University. Fast forward almost a century, our beautifully designed Palo Alto rooftop bar and restaurant bears the name President’s Terrace as a nod to the hotel’s historic roots.
