Located within the mixed-use Santa Row neighborhood in San Jose and surrounded by upscale shops and restaurants, Hotel Valencia is a stylish and hip Spanish-inspired hotel property. The property opened in 2003 and received a renovation of its guestrooms in 2013, and is a natural fit for families looking for an independent and unique property.

Note that entering from the ground floor can be confusing, as you’ll need to take the elevator to the third floor to discover the lobby, with an expansive terrace where guests may lounge and dine under the sun.

The 215-room property offers rooms on four floors. All rooms can sleep only four, but rollaway beds are available. They are outfitted with flat-screen TVs and families can request a mini-refrigerator. Wi-Fi is included with all room stays.

Traditional Rooms
Traditional rooms include king bedrooms or two double beds, with higher level rooms having balconies that overlooking the terrace or Santana Row.

Suites
There are very few connecting rooms in which to create suites, but the hotel does offer Junior and Executive Suites. Junior Suites are studio-style suites with a king bed and living area connected, while Executive Suites have a separate bedroom and living area. Both feature sofas.

The Hotel Valencia is a boutique city hotel and only offers a rooftop swimming pool as a relaxing amenity for families. The pool is located on the hotel's fifth floor rooftop and is surrounded by comfortable cushioned lounge chairs and umbrellas.

As part of Santana Row, however, guests can enjoy the mixed-use amenities. Behind the hotel is a playground for kids, as well as a lawn area where live music and special events are featured throughout the summer months, seasonal weekends and holidays.

Citrus
Citrus, the hotel's breakfast and dinner spot, is the last of the hotel to receive a renovation in late 2016. Serving a continental breakfast from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily, the restaurant closes during the lunch hours and reopens to feature a California seasonal dinner from 5 to 9:30 p.m.

The Terrace
The Terrace, the hotel's outdoor space, is also a dining spot with a la breakfast offerings and lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Cielo
Cielo is the hotel's rooftop terrace and bar, providing views from the seventh floor, as well as light bites and drinks.
