Graced with architecture reminiscent of a Tuscan villa, Hotel Los Gatos is easily one of the most beautiful hotels in the San Francisco Bay Area. Praised for its first-class hospitality, accommodations, and dining, it’s also a leading choice for visitors to Silicon Valley. Learn why Hotel Los Gatos is an exceptional option for leisure and business travelers to California’s world-famous Silicon Valley.
About Hotel Los Gatos
Set in the vibrant town of its name, Hotel Los Gatos is a Mediterranean-influenced luxury hotel featuring Old World charm and splendor. First opened in 2002, Hotel Los Gatos immediately became the finest hotel in Los Gatos, a distinction that remains today. Set in one of the southernmost sections of Silicon Valley, Hotel Los Gatos is located less than 60 miles from San Francisco and less than nine miles from San Jose. Yet its prime location offers a much quieter environment away from Bay Area city noise and traffic. This four-star hotel is within minutes from Bay Area tech companies like Netflix and even closer to the South Bay’s only Michelin 3-star restaurant. The hotel is also a short drive from the redwoods and sandy beaches in Santa Cruz. Late last year, Hotel Los Gatos was acquired by Chicago-based investment firm Oxford Capital Group, LLC.
