Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here.

The best gay-friendly hotel in Palo Alto depends on what you're looking for in accommodation. Fortunately, you can easily find what you need, thanks to the multitude of available search filters.

Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
