El Prado Hotel has announced the opening of its new Spanish-inspired luxury property in partnership with Ferrado in downtown Palo Alto. The reflagged independent hotel, formerly known as the Garden Court Hotel, has 62 guestrooms, indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, and seasonal food and beverage offerings in new spaces. The renovation was overseen by hotel design firm Nicolehollis and will cater to both business as well as leisure travelers.
The hotel is inspired by Spanish open-air living, and draws on botanical-themed nuances, including an abundance of greenery and a color palette highlighting forest greens, stone blues, touches of terracotta orange, and a blend of neutral tones. Each space in the property connects to its central courtyard.
Upon opening, the hotel will debut a two-floor glass solarium outfitted with cozy seating adjacent to the Breakfast Cafe. There is also a second-floor bar serving Spanish-inspired bites and signature cocktails; The Library, featuring a boardroom table, separate lounge area with couches, and full technology capabilities for business conferencing; and a back courtyard area fit with a large fireplace and outdoor lounge furniture adjacent to lobby-level meeting rooms for breakout sessions.
Appealing to the new-age business traveler, El Prado offers a variety of amenities. Its brand new "C-Suite Retreat" package includes full valet parking service to welcome guests upon arrival and ensure a smooth check-out process, breakfast from the Breakfast Cafe, and a complimentary signature low ABV cocktail made with fresh, botanical ingredients. The package also includes high-speed Wi-Fi, an Executive Concierge for technology set-up and food and beverage orders, and late check-out to coincide with a workday or late afternoon meeting schedule.
El Prado is certified as a Clean & Safe Hotel within the California Hotel and Lodging Association, implementing precautionary measures provided by the association’s Clean & Safe Guidelines, including contactless check-in and robust cleaning measures ensuring the overall health and wellbeing for guests and staff.
