From the Sheraton and Westin
—Walk—
From the conference hotels (Westin, Sheraton), it’ probably a 10 minute walk to our venue. It’s mostly campus, flat, and really sort of pleasant.
1. Coming out of the Sheraton/Westin, turn left on El Camino.
2. Walk to Embarcadero Rd.
3. Cross El Camino and head towards Stanford. El Camino becomes Galvez Street.
4. You’ll pass the stadium on your left.
5. Stay on Galvez until you reach Campus Drive.
6. Cross over Campus Drive and walk approximately one block (on Galvez) to the Alumni Center entrance.
—Shuttle—
Stanford offers a free shuttle called the Marguerite that runs from the intersection of Galvez St. and El Camino Real at the Town & Country Village shopping center. This is a very short walk from the hotels. You take Line Y to catch a ride towards the Alumni Center. Line Y runs from 6:09 AM to 8:30 PM every 15 minutes. View the schedule here.
Here is a map of the Marguerite’s routes.
From the Alumni Center back to the Sheraton and Westin, you’ll need to take Line X back to El Camino Real and Galvez. The schedule is here.
—Drive—
Turn left on El Camino Real coming out of the hotel. Take a right at Embarcadero/Galvez St. into Stanford campus. Pass Arboretum and take your first right after the stadium onto Campus Drive West. For free parking, turn right and into Galvez Field.
—Grab a Cab—
The front desk staff at the Sheraton and Westin can easily arrange a cab for you. It’s about a five minute ride to the Alumni Center.
From Stanford Guest House
—Shuttles—
The SLAC line of Stanford’s free shuttle, the Marguerite, operates between the Guest House and the Stanford campus and is available from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, approximately every 20 minutes. Get off at the final stop and walk down Galvez St. The Alumni Center will be about a block and a half down on your left.
The Guest House also has their own complimentary Guest House shuttle which may be available to transport you throughout Stanford based upon availability. Ask to go to the Alumni Center.
