The city is also home to the brightest minds in the computer, semiconductor, and biotechnology industries. The Fairmont San Jose plays an integral role in the community, hosting presidents, dignitaries, celebrities, CEOs, and noted scholars. In addition, The Fairmont San Jose has partnered with San Jose's finest charitable and social organizations to host such events as the Santa Clara Golden Circle, the Junior League gala, as well as fund-raisers for organizations such as The Tech Museum of Innovation and Bellarmine Preparatory Academy.More than 30 wineries in the valley attest to the year-round Mediterranean climate. A short drive from The Fairmont San Jose reaches the Monterey Peninsula's legendary golf courses, beaches and sightseeing venues.

I loved the lobby and the Christmas decorations.
The counters in our room were not wiped down.

We pick this hotel as it was very accessible to the Rock and Roll Half Marathon.
At first, they did not have available parking but did provide free parking at a garage next door.

“Room are very roomy enough for 5 adults with sleeping mattress on the floors.”

The rooms are very quiet!
The rental movies can't be paused, rewound or fast forwarded!

“We stayed on the 19th floor and it was very quiet. We never heard any kind of noise from the rooms around us. The room was very comfy - we especially thought the bedding was very, very soft. The lighted vanity area was great for doing my hair and makeup.”

Hotel staff was accommodating and eager to assist.
We thought the bathtub would be marble and large. It wasn't.

“Great!”
