I find it a special treat to discover places of solitude within a busy city. The antithesis of the chaotic is Zen. When you can find the two together that is Bliss. Let me share of a few finds I’ve discovered along the way…and tend to return to upon request from my soul. The place is Dinah’s in Palo Alto, CA www.dinahshotel.com.

Experience Zen on the grounds of this charming hotel in the middle of the Silicone Valley and near Stanford. It’s a quiet paradise just off El Camino.
Dinah’s hotel was originally opened by Dinah Shore. It has been newly remodeled and is one of the least expensive of the luxury hotels. Within the inner sanctums feel free to sit by the fountains and the coy pond, Watch the ducks dive, experience the oversized coy begging for a treat and feel your soul take a big breath.
