Earlier this month, the Tall Man and I took a trip to California together. The allure of the Winchester Mystery House led us to begin our journey in San Jose, but thankfully we found a hotel that did not feature the insane design of staircases that lead to nowhere or doors that open onto walls as found in the mystery house. In fact, the Hotel Valencia was the perfect combination of hip, contemporary design, coupled with the luxurious comfort we so desperately desired after the six-hour flight from New York City.Located on Santana Row, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel was right smack in the middle of a bustling nightlife, featuring restaurants, bar and upscale shopping. But inside our room, it was a calm oasis. There was a plush, comfortable bed, and a bathroom with separate shower and soaking tub. The balcony overlooking Santana Row gave us a bird's eye view of the lively scene down on the street. Though we didn't have a chance to take advantage of the gorgeous swimming pool, the breakfast (complementary with your stay) was a step above what you'd expect.
We only wish we could have stayed a little longer at the Hotel Valencia but our Mustang convertible had a full tank of gas and there was much to see and do before heading back home.
Whether you're traveling for pleasure or on business, it's seriously the only place I'd consider in the San Jose area.
