15 miles north of San Jose, Palo Alto is where it all begun in 1938 when engineers William Hewlett and David Packard, working out of a garage, started their small company called Hewlett and Packard.
Home to renowned Stanford University Palo Alto has ever since enjoyed the benefits of a young, highly educated, highly motivated population that has over the years created more wealth than any other group of people in the history of the world.
The university gives Palo Alto another advantage – it is the hip center for Silicon Valley with cafes, restaurants and shops locate along University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto.
Palo Alto and nearby quiet Menlo Park, are also the center of venture capital finance, the fuel that powers the engine of constant innovation.
Hotels in Palo Alto are located along El Camino Real, all within 3 miles of Stanford University Campus.
