THINGS TO DO IN SAN JOSE

Start with enjoying live jazz music at the De Anza’s historic Hedley Club on Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m., taking a short walk to San Pedro Square Market, or seeing NHL hockey or a concert at the SAP Center.

 Whether you’re here for business or leisure travel, there is a lot to do in downtown San Jose. Near the hotel is the Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, Children’s Discovery Museum, Luis Maria Peralta Adobe, San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose Convention Center, and the Tech Museum.

Also, within a short drive is the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, upscale dining and shopping area of Santana Row, Westfield Valley Fair shopping mall, and the beautiful, but bizarre Winchester Mystery House.
