You can walk to multiple venues, including the California Theater just a block away, and SAP Center is only a mile down the road—perfect for avoiding rideshare surges. The hotel’s central location means you’re never far from late-night eats or a quick drink after the encore.

Food and Drink Options

Dine in style at Il Fornaio, the on-site Italian restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—ideal for a late-night bite or a leisurely morning meal. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant’s hours cater well to concert schedules. You're also within walking distance of downtown eateries for post-show snacks or early breakfasts.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things classy and quiet, you’re surrounded by lively downtown bars, lounges, and late-night spots. Whether you want craft cocktails or a casual beer, you won’t have to walk far to keep the night going. If you prefer to stay in, the hotel bar offers a more relaxed vibe with quality drinks.
