350 West Santa Clara Street, in downtown San Jose, roughly two blocks from the site Google has assembled for its planned Downtown West transit village and office campus.
The concept
Developed by Ohio-based Rockbridge Capital, which bought the site in 2014 for $3.5 million and financed construction with a $29.4 million loan, the seven-story AC Hotel San Jose Downtown opened in early 2017 as the first new hotel to open in downtown San Jose since 2004 and the first lifestyle AC Hotel by Marriott in California. The property was later sold to an AVR Realty affiliate for $95.4 million.
Dining & wellness
The hotel includes a saltwater pool, an on-site fitness center and three meeting spaces, with a ground-floor bar/lounge typical of the AC Hotels brand's European-inspired format.
