Known for hip, urban hotels, the W Silicon Valley (Calif.) brings the best of comfort and style to the suburban Bay Area Peninsula. Conveniently located near the towns of Palo Alto and Freemont, the W Silicon Valley offers business travelers the sophistication and impeccable service renowned at W properties. Guests have easy access to the many businesses and office parks located in the San Jose area.
With elevators bathed in purple light to the vases of fresh orchids in the lounge, the W Silicon Valley serves as the new meeting place for the hip corporate crowd. The lobby, in W speak called the living room, is a revolutionary open space with comfortable seating, Ethernet access, fireplace and library shelves filled with books and board games. The W Café and Bar offers freshly baked treats and smoothies in the morning, sandwiches and salads in the afternoon, and the best of California wines in the evening. Relish, an upscale burger bar, features “urban comfort food” and burgers made of ground wild salmon with pickled cucumber or Kobe beef with foie gras.

The W’s 172 spacious guest suites provide the cozy feel of home with luxurious velvet sofas and suede chairs. W’s signature bedding includes a custom pillow topped mattress, down feather bed, 250 thread count linens, hypoallergenic feather pillows and a designer duvet cover. Other amenities include a fully stocked, granite topped wet bar, spacious work desk with Ethernet access and a fax/copier/printer, lush terry and piqué spa robes and the Bliss sinkside six pack, a collection of body products exclusive to W Hotels.

The W offers 3,500 square feet of event space in five meeting and banquet rooms, including a magnificent Great Room for life’s celebrations. The hotel features the W Sensory Meetings, providing mood music, aromatherapy scents and thought provoking placards.

"When you walk ino this lobby, you will hardly believe how comforatable the chairs are, and how soft. They are made of the very best suede and velvet chairs. Also, they have a large fruit tray for all their guests throughout the day. So if you want a healthy apple or orange later on, there are plenty there for you to snack on. There is even a lovely fireplace that keeps you nice and warm at nice. Some people were talking about their beds, and how they had the cute W pillow, and that the rest was made of all downy fill, which helped them get a good night’s rest. I was there for a function, and believe it or n ot the hotel let us have some cheese and and wine samples on them. The catch, if we wanted more wine, then of course we would have to pay for it. There’s just not too many hotels tha go out of their way for the conference people, yet this hotel did just that with grace and style. People seem to talk about the pretty orchids in the lobby, but there weren’t any orchids when I went, and that kind of sucked. Maybe it’s a seasonal thing. I went in the winter time so maybe the Ca. frost got them, kidding…"
