About Sephora Downtown Palo Alto
Sephora's downtown store is at 200 Hamilton Avenue, one block south of University Avenue. It is on the same block as City Hall at 250 Hamilton, with the Cardinal Hotel across the street at 235 Hamilton and the public garage under City Hall close by. Sephora lists two Palo Alto stores: this one and the Stanford Shopping Center store, less than a mile away. Stock differs between the two, so call ahead for a specific product.
The downtown store keeps shorter weekday hours than the mall store but opens an hour earlier on Sunday. It is closed on November 26 and December 25, 2026. Choose the Stanford store for weekday curbside pickup with marked parking spaces or for weeknight shopping until 7 p.m.
