Greed is Good?

Where: 2050 University Avenue [map], East Palo Alto, CA, United States, 94303

Are you a post-dotcom-boom macher, looking for a place to stay that'll treat you right the next time you're wheeling and dealing on the West Coast? Then you might want to stay at the Four Seasons Silicon Valley.

The hotel, which opened at the beginning of February, is located ten minutes from Stanford in, gulp, East Palo Alto, which is otherwise notable for being not that nice a place. But hey, finally the Four Seasons has something in common with the Little Slum Inn!

Anyway, it's a Four Seasons like any other; that means there's a swank fitness center (where you get wireless headsets, which is damn impressive, though we still work out using a medicine ball), and access to the nearby Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course.

We're still not sure about the whole East Palo Alto thing, and neither are the guests. One review on TripAdvisor said it was "just like a Hilton". Ouch.
