A little Dinah’s history, with a splash of rum. 🍹

Before there was Trader Vic’s, there was Dinah’s Shack, the little restaurant just next door that gave us our name. Years later, Trader Vic’s opened on that same site in 2001, becoming the first new U.S. location in 28 years.

Trader Vic’s may have closed in 2012, but one classic never really left.

You can still order the Trader Vic’s Classic Mai Tai at our on-site Dinah’s Poolside Restaurant, made with rum, Trader Vic’s Dark Rum, orange curaçao, lime juice, and orgeat.

A little afternoon escape... 🍹

When the workday winds down, classes are done, or you’re simply settling into your stay, head to Dinah's Poolside Restaurant for a drink in the sun!

Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 2:30–6 PM, with a delicious menu of light bites, plus specially priced cocktails, w**e, and b**r.

A pretty good reason to call it a day a little early!

Today's plans:

a long afternoon to float in the pool, wander through the tropical gardens, listen to the fountains, watch the koi go by, and enjoy the simple pleasure of having nowhere else to be.

Here’s to a Labor Day spent doing less, enjoying more, and soaking up every last bit of summer. 💚

Time to find a quiet spot and get lost in a good book. 📖🌿

For National Read a Book Day, we’re sharing a few of our favorite end-of-summer reads, best enjoyed amidst our tropical gardens, by the koi ponds and lagoon, or poolside:

📚 Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty
📚 Little Wonder by Sophie Chen Keller
📚 The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
📚 Go Gentle by Maria Semple
📚 Under Story by Chloe Benjamin
📚 Kin by Tayari Jones

Happy reading!

A pretty good sign you’ve arrived somewhere special. 🌿

Since 1957, guests have been finding their way to our little corner of Palo Alto, where tropical gardens, koi-filled lagoons, art from around the world, and plenty of character make Dinah’s feel unlike anywhere else.

Gardens aglow, lights shimmering across the lagoons, and little pockets of magic around every corner.

Saturday morning, exactly where we want to be.

Chilaquiles with guajillo pepper sauce, pulled pork, sour cream, queso fresco, and eggs, coffee on the side, and a view over the gardens and lagoon. All delivered straight to your room from our on-site from Dinah's Poolside Restaurant.

One last Summer Friday, Dinah’s style. Preferably poolside, with delicious bites and a cocktail within reach.

Summer is still very much in session at Dinah’s. ☀️🌺

Long afternoons by the pool, flowers in full bloom, and warm evenings wandering through our tropical gardens and koi lagoons. Around here, we’re in no rush to call the season over.
