Let’s Talk About One of the Best Hotels in Downtown San Jose, California
As someone who is on this endless pursuit of finding amazing luxury stays in premium destinations, I have a keen eye for those tiny nuggets of luxury and comfort that elevate my hotel experiences. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Signia by Hilton in San Jose, California, which for me, is undoubtedly the best hotel in San Jose. I’m excited to share my experiences and why you should pack your favorite San Jose California outfit, and head to this haven in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Prime Location & San Jose, California Aesthetic
Smack dab in the center of downtown San Jose, California, the location of Signia by Hilton is unparalleled. Situated near the San Jose Convention Center and overlooking the vibrant Plaza de César Chávez Park, you’re right at the heart of the city’s pulse with plenty of things to do in San Jose, California. The hotel’s aesthetic blend of modern and classic Californian design caters to your visual senses, offering a unique San Jose, California aesthetic.
A Premium Full-Service Experience
From the moment I walked in, I sensed Signia by Hilton’s commitment to premium, full-service hospitality. With over 65,000 sq ft of meeting and function space, it’s an ideal choice for those in town for business. But let’s not forget the leisure traveler. I was impressed by their signature culinary experiences, outdoor rooftop pool, and the extensive fitness facilities—the perfect companion for anyone’s California travel adventures.
Rooms & Suites
The comforts of a home coupled with luxury accommodations made my stay delightful. I had the pleasure of indulging in one of the king bedrooms with pool access in the main tower. It came with a giant cloud of a bed with plush 300-thread-count sheets (which wrapped me in a cocoon of comfort every night), a patio with a fireplace and outdoor seating, a vanity, and beautiful bathroom. The room was perfect to come home to after a day of exploring the city, earning Signia by Hilton top spot on my list of best hotels in San Jose.
Not to mention, I loved having access to the pool in case I wanted to sunbathe, get some air, or (in my boyfriend’s case) go for a swim. A quick morning dip is just steps away from your door. Once I figure out how to swim, you bet I’ll be in that pool making laps as well!
Dining and Drinks
With diverse dining options, my taste buds were never bored. Whether nibbling on delicious bites at AJI Bar & Robata, ordering breakfast at Fountain Restaurant, enjoying a classic steak at The Grill on the Alley, or grabbing a quick bite at Market 170, every meal was an experience to remember. I especially loved ordering room service and just having a cozy night in.
My top favorite restaurant out of all the three was AJI Bar & Robata, as their rolls are to die for, and you’re situated in the lobby, the most lively place in the hotel. You can find yourself sipping on a yummy cocktail, enjoying some rolls, and people watching/meeting as the night goes by!
Leisure Facilities
The hotel’s leisure facilities were equally impressive. Post-meetings or touristic adventures, a dip in the rooftop pool or workout in the fitness center left me feeling very refreshed. They’re also conveniently located to the area’s biking and running trails for guests yearning for outdoor exercise. Beyond and within the Signia Hotel, you’ll never run out of things to do.
What to do in San Jose
With a bouquet of attractions such as the Winchester House, San Jose Museum of Art, and Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, you’ll never run out of things to do in San Jose, California. Trust me, exploring downtown San Jose and its surroundings is an adventure in itself.
One thing that I love about San Jose is the FOOD. You’ll find the best Vietnamese and Mexican restaurants scattered all throughout the city. If you’re a foodie just like me, then a getaway to San Jose is calling your name. If you’re feeling up to it, try some yummy bun bo hue and banh xeo at a local Vietnamese joint and birria ramen at a Mexican joint. I always leave San Jose with a food coma.
A Phenomenal Stay at the Signia by Hilton San Jose
To sum up, my stay at the Signia by Hilton was a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and culinary delights. Its prime location and excellent service left me spellbound, and their commitment to ensuring a memorable stay was truly remarkable. I was invited by the property to come and celebrate Día de los Muertos and it made for such a memorable night. Everything – from the decor, to the lively music, to the food, and to everyone who visited the property and partook in the property’s festivities, all worked beautifully together to create such a beautiful night.
