The Fairmont San Jose

The Silicon Valley home-away-from-home of four U.S. presidents, The Fairmont San Jose sets the bar for business and social events in the birthplace of modern technology. Its main building and dual 20-story postmodern towers combine classically elegant design with a thoroughly modern sensibility at the heart of downtown San Jose, California. With 65,000 square feet of state-of-the-art function space, meeting planners hit the mark every time, whether for a board meeting of 22, a reception for 200, or a multimedia experience for 3,000.

Designed for business, the AA four-diamond hotel also knows how to pamper. The 805 guest rooms, including 74 suites, come elegantly appointed with oversized marble baths, separate walk-in showers, work desks, wired and wireless Internet access, twice-daily maid service, nightly turndown, and 24-hour in-room dining. Delegates may also choose from the upscale Grille on the Alley, McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood, The Pagoda Asian Restaurant, and the casually elegant Fountain Cafe.

For socializing, they gather in the lobby lounge over afternoon tea, cocktails, live piano music, or jazz. For rejuvenation, they may visit the complimentary health club, the 6,000-square-foot Tova Day Spa, or the palm-lined swimming pool on the fourth floor terrace. Then, once the meetings conclude, some reap the rewards of the proximity to San Francisco, Napa Valley, and other California wine regions; the beaches of Santa Cruz; and world-class golf on the Monterey
Peninsula.
