Pse Njerëzit E Duan

- President's Terrace is the only rooftop bar in Palo Alto with 360-degree views
- Unbeatable location on University Avenue near shops and restaurants
Shikim i shpejtë: The rooftop bar is stunning but can be chaotic with inconsistent hours, and the mandatory $30 destination fee plus $50 valet parking stings.
Rishikuar nga @mallorydawntravels: I absolutely loved my stay at the Graduate Palo Alto. The mix of 1920s charm and modern decor is stunning. My room was incredibly cozy, and lounging in the eclectic lobby felt like a stylish step back in time. It's the perfect quiet getaway just outside SF!
